Barbie by Greta Gerwig is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated movies of this year. The movie, in which we will see Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the lead roles, will bring the iconic Barbie dolls to the big screen, will be released on July 21.
Less than a month before its release, Xbox announced that it is collaborating with the film’s production company, Warner Bros.. As part of the partnership, content inspired by the Barbie movie and even a console were introduced.
Barbie vehicles arrive in Forza Horizon 5
In a statement made by Xbox today, it was stated that Barbie movie-themed content will come to the popular racing game Forza Horizon 5. Players will have access to the pink 1956 Chevrolet Corvette EV that Barbie drives.
On the other hand, the 2022 GMC Hummer EV that Ken uses will also be added to the game. These vehicles, which are given as a gift to all Forza Horizon 5 players as of today, can be accessed in the messages section.
Barbie-themed Xbox coming too
Warner Bros. and another thing that comes as part of the Xbox partnership is the Barbie inspired console. Inspired by Barbie’s iconic “dream house”, this pink-based console will look like the one in the photo above. In addition, movie-specific game controllers inspired by Barbie and Ken’s outfits will also come with the console. Xbox describes the console as “one of our most fun custom console designs in years.”
Just like other similar custom-designed consoles, the Barbie-themed Xbox will not be available for sale. However, Xbox says users will have a chance to win this special Xbox Series S. The company states that on July 10, fans can get this chance through the Xbox Twitter account or Microsoft Rewards.
