In a post-launch update, Forza Horizon 5 will bring sign language interpreters to in-game cutscenes.Playground Games confirmed the decision via Xbox Wire in a blog post, saying that the accessibility feature will appear in a picture-in-picture display.
“With this in mind, the team is excited to share we are also working on American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) support for cinematics in Forza Horizon 5.”
“We’re constantly listening to the community to make Forza Horizon 5 an inclusive experience for everyone to enjoy,” Mike Brown, Forza Horizon 5’s creative director, said in the post.
Brown didn’t reveal an exact arrival for the rollout, but did note that it would be “coming soon” to players after the title’s 9 November release date.
“We want everyone in the world to be able to experience our game, and with more than an estimated 400 million gamers with disabilities across the globe, it is vital that all players be able to tailor their gameplay in a way that works best for them,” Brown continued.
It won’t be the only accessibility feature offered in the game, either. The option to disable moving backgrounds, add colourblindness filters, customise subtitles and play around with game speed and contrast settings.
