Since its creation in 2012, Forza Horizon has become an iconic Microsoft license. The series is indeed one of the most popular in the catalog of the American firm and is enjoying growing success with each new episode. Proof of this is the insolent success that is Forza Horizon 5 which welcomes, in just a few months, more than 20 million players.
However, the story of Forza Horizon is not much. To the irrepressible desire of lovers of beautiful mechanics to create a new studio. And to that, surprisingly, of the pundits of Turn 10 Studios who, rather than seeing Project Gotham Racing reborn from its ashes, preferred to take Forza to new territories. A stroke of fate that was written on the corner of a table and which, 10 years later, turns into a pure gem for Xbox.
