Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Forza Horizon 5 included a feature where non-player characters addressed players using names pulled from their Microsoft Xbox accounts. This created a deadnaming problem for some transgender players whose account names did not reflect their current identity. The developers had introduced pronoun options and different body types in 2021 to promote inclusivity. However, the name-pulling mechanic during the game’s introduction led to unintended issues. In response, Forza Horizon 6 adds a prompt in the character creator asking players to confirm if they are comfortable with their Xbox account name being used by NPCs.
