The image has since been removed, but you can still find it on Steam’s CDN (just like when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was leaked to be coming to Steam ahead of yesterday’s official confirmation). The Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels won’t be the first crossover between the two franchises. Forza Horizon 3 also got a Hot Wheels expansion a little over five years ago, while Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 4 later received a collection of classic Hot Wheels rides. Milestone (MotoGP, Ride) also released a standalone Hot Wheels Unleashed game, which has since topped one million sales across the various platforms. For its part, Forza Horizon 5 set several new franchise sales records. The NPD Group noted that the latest installment in the open world racing series sold more than any of the previous entries made by Playground Games in its launch month. Earlier this week, game sales analyst Benji revealed that Forza Horizon 5 might have passed 20 million players according to the in-game leaderboard. This would make it over twice as fast as the previous franchise entry, which only hit 10 million players after a longer period (eight months versus seven following the respective launches).
