Halo Infinite and Forza Horzion 5 will receive full Russian dubbing

Xbox Russia in the new digest announcedthat Halo Infinite and Forza Horzion 5 will receive full Russian dubbing. The exact dates are not yet known – they will be announced later.

At release, both games had only Russian subtitles and a full interface, and now full voice acting will be added.

Similar situation was with Psychonauts 2 by Double Fine a month and a half ago. It is possible that the company’s policy in terms of Russian localization of future games will change. For example, now Starfield is announced only with an interface and subtitles, but in a similar scenario in 2023, Bethesda and Microsoft will also release a full Russian voice acting for the game.

Perhaps some will remember the #RusVoiceXbox hashtag, which was launched on social networks a month ago and even tried to shove it on Shazoo. Some might think that the Xbox decision is a victory for the community, but statistics show that only 300 tweets with this hashtag were written in a month, and the reach on social networks and websites is unlikely to exceed 10,000. Such decisions are made much in advance and, perhaps, this is another confirmation of the change in the company’s policy regarding games for the Russian audience.

We have requested official comments from Microsoft representatives and will update the post if we hear something specific.
