Since its release in 2021, Forza Horizon 5 has garnered positive acclaim from the gaming community. Its commercial and critical success points out Forza Horizon 5's excellence in multiple domains. However, Xbox Game Studios is always on the lookout to make the game an even better experience for its fans.

Playground Games recently announced a new update for Forza Horizon 5, which came out on March 1. The update fixed two recurring issues, one of which was getting on the nerves of high-level players.

Besides fixing the technical issues, the new update will make the game more accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing gamers. Xbox Game Studios has announced the new Forza Horizon 5 update will introduce ASL and BSL support for its in-game cinematics. The announcement was in a recently released trailer that featured several prominent members of the Forza Horizon 5 development team.

The trailer featured creative director Mike Brown, Microsoft's chief accessibility officer Jenny Lay-Flurrie, Gaming and Disability Steering Committee of Microsoft member Micheal Anthony, and several other notable personalities. Since he was a toddler, Micheal Anthony has been deaf and was given a sneak peek of Forza Horizon's new update before its release. He feels the game is now more involving for him, and it was much easier to interact with the game. Having ASL and BSL support in cutscenes and cinematics will tremendously help deaf gamers to get the best out of racing games like Forza Horizon 5.
