A new piece of information related to Forza Horizon 5 has begun to circulate after a possible leak was detected on a LinkedIn profile. In the work experience of a former community director at Turn 10 Studios and Microsoft, it is explicitly mentioned that the game would have generated over $1 billion in revenue during its commercial lifetime.

The information appears in the summary of his tenure as Communications & Community Director for Forza, where the IGN award for Racing Game of the Year is also mentioned, as well as the key role of the global team in the success of the launch campaign. Although there is no official confirmation from Xbox, the figure reinforces the commercial and media impact the title has had since its release in 2021.

The success of Forza Horizon 5 would continue to grow after almost four years on the market

In the same section of the professional profile, it is also highlighted that the team managed to increase the monthly impressions of the Forza channel from 4 million to 200 million, along with a 200% growth in positive sentiment from players. Additionally, initiatives such as Friends of Forza are mentioned, focused on direct community participation.

In the absence of official data from Xbox, Turn 10, or Playground Games, this type of leak provides context to the enormous impact of Forza Horizon 5, not only as one of the most popular games in the Xbox ecosystem but also as one of its biggest commercial successes. If confirmed, we would be facing the first title in the saga to surpass this historic barrier.
