In honor of Forza Horizon 5, Microsoft drops real-life car and man from 4,500 feet

Yous know what'southward cooler than playing Forza Horizon 5? Playing Forza Horizon 5 after y'all received your physical copy equally a reward for jumping out of a helicopter at 4,500 feet.

The Xbox Australia & New Zealand team decided to get a little crazy with its marketing efforts and thought dropping a homo and auto from a 4,500-feet-in-the-air helicopter would go us all in the mood to play Forza. The Xbox ANZ team knew what information technology was doing.

A man and a Forza Horizon 5 Polaris both took the plunge, in a video y'all can watch over on the XboxANZ YouTube folio.

At the end, the helicopter-abandoning, death-defying human receives a crate of physical Forza Horizon 5 copies as a reward for taking his life into his own hands. In other words, the video has a very happy catastrophe. But information technology also advises people to not replicate the stunt, mainly because it's unsafe just also considering you're probably not going to receive free Forza goodies for doing it.

This whole thing may have you wondering, "what else does Microsoft productively spend coin on?" And the reply is: Other crazy marketing. Exercise you remember the creamy, skyscraper-sized lengths Microsoft went to to promote Windows 11 in Oct?
