From Windows Central: “Forza Horizon is one of Microsoft’s most successful franchises. Even during the darkest days of the Xbox One generation, Forza Horizon stood out as a bright star defiantly launching to critical acclaim and big sales success. Now bigger than Forza Motorsport itself, Forza Horizon is one of Xbox’s most cherished franchises, serving tens of millions of players across the world with its expansive take on open-world arcade-style racing. The latest entry Forza Horizon 5 takes place in Mexico, and has already raced into pole position as the franchise’s most successful entry yet.
Announced today, Microsoft and Playground Games revealed Gavin Raeburn, who has served as Studio Director and co-founder for the past 12 years, is leaving the company. General Manager and partner co-founder Trevor Williams will step up as Studio Head in Raeburn’s place. Microsoft’s CVP of Forza and Fable, Alan Hartman, shared the message below.”
