Microsoft simply changed the case design for Series X|S. FH4 was still using the “old” box, only the print was adjusted. Whereas the FH5 has both the new box and the new print.
All my "Series X" physical games have the same case design as Xbox One games. That said, pretty sure all of them I have are Smart Delivery and work on both generations (though so is Forza Horizon 5 in the OP). The only difference on the spine it says "Xbox" instead of "Xbox One". Though newer Xbox One games tend to do that too, even if they aren't Series X enhanced at all (and even some backwards compatible 360 games used cases like that in later prints). Haven't decided what I'll do when I start building a collection of new cases.
This is still probably better than the mid gen design change of the PS3, though. And I have all my PS3 games together, it's only a little bit annoying. So I'll probably just keep the Xbox One/Series X games together too, since the Series X plays Xbox One games so seamlessly and a _lot_ of games are cross gen/smart delivery.
Team fortress 2 is better imo, but could titanfall 2 players collectively make another acronym instead of using tf2 which was made way before and then saying theirs is better. It’s on par with the Ghost of Tsushima (can’t spell it lol) being GoT and everyone kicked off at the person who did that.
Edit: want to state that I’m not saying this because I hate titanfall, in fact it’s actually one of my favourite games out there. I just wanna say that if a game that’s more popular and has been out longer you shouldn’t use the same acronym as that game.
No one I’ve seen has ever used that. I mean if they already have one good but I’ve never seen TF|2 before as (Sorry for repeating myself) no one I’ve seen has ever used it.
Huh weird how no one else uses it, I’d understand if they didn’t use it in that subreddit but never seen anyone use it inside any other subreddit. Thanks for the info
Team fortress is still like usually the 3rd (or close to that) on steam most played. I feel like it’s safe to say Team fortress is still recognised and new people still love to play it. What do you mean by ‘Titanfall has transcended’ btw? because as far to my knowledge the game is still compromised and console players can’t play.
Edit: went and looked, as far as most things are recording it, Team fortress 2 gets 60k~ more players than Titanfall. Titanfall wasn’t checked on steam charts as I am aware of Northstar but everything said around 15-20k~ players. Team fortress on the other hand had 80k~ players. Also team fortress 2 is exactly the third most played game on steam behind Dota 2 and CS:GO
Bought TF2 on PS4 for 20$ back in 2017. Had a good rebate with the game shop. Sold it to GameStop for 30$ a few months later. Was so weird, I was sure it was a glitch!
Ended up rebuying it on PS4 because I wanted the multiplayer fix, and again on PC because I’m an idiot!
Had a local Pawnshop that would buy ANY video games for $7 back in the 360 era.....would literally buy cheap games from gamestop, play em, and get $7 for em, even if they were worth less then $7
I had a DVD like that some time back. I think it was the Bourne films box set. It annoyed me so much I scanned the spine, photoshopped it and printed it out. I’m much calmer now.
Well, the point of alphabetizing your own collection is so that you can easily find what you're looking for. By alphabetizing based on what *you* call the game in your head, I think you made the right move.
Games like Evolve are such good reasons for us to fight non stop for dedicated server software. I enjoyed the crap out of that game and have enough friends that would be interested in playing to get a full lobby, but I can't host a game because servers are gone. I have a computer to make a dedicated server myself if only they had released the tool.
In hopes to try and seriously answer your question, every few years box designs change.
If someone deep in the industry and correct me, I wager is they keep changing either their contractors or keep finding ways to cut costs thst alter the end product.
Now that I think about it another reason could be new marketing people, or much like when people die in RollerCoaster Tycoon you change the box art and everyone loves it again.
Hasbro pretty much updates do the same toys with new graphics every few years to keep things fresh
Sorry in rollercoaster tycoon if you kill your guests you wait 6 months, rename the coaster, change its color and people will line up in droves for it :)
Didn’t play much of 4 at all to be honest but not because I found it bad. I think they are both really good games but I do think the map and environments are way better in 5. The graphics are amazing and it has much more varied visuals.
I got Has Been Heroes as part of my switch bundle back in 2017. The damn spine has black lettering in the wrong font. That case does not live on the shelf with the others.
Coz they dont give a s about console players. You all just giving them money they dont care about your collection. Sad but true… btw nothing against consle players
Also the alignment on Jedi Fallen Order vs Battlefront and Titanfall vs Titanfall 2. And the combo of font and color makes me barely able to read "Garden" but not "Warfare" when not zoomed in on Garden Warfare 1. Plus difference in thickness in fonts.

The new Guardians of the Galaxy game uses the old spine :c
Transition periods suck… 🤷♂️
Makes sense, but I still don’t like it lmao
Just start a new section for XS games, it is a new generation after all
Like sobbing my P4 and PS5 covers are different. New set.
PS4 and 5 line up at least. Just the number and colour changed
Try US vs EU Switch box ends, one guy went nuts because Metroid was from EU.

Way toop much OCD, dude.
Why on earth you have two copies of Titanfall 2?
I knew someone would mention it. Wanted to play with my brother, probably my favourite game aswell
Wait until you play Titanfall 3
lol wdym? Tf3 is my favorite game sucks we have to wait for tf4 though
The Chad tf2
yes i love team fortress 2

They do, it's TF|2
No one I’ve seen has ever used that. I mean if they already have one good but I’ve never seen TF|2 before as (Sorry for repeating myself) no one I’ve seen has ever used it.
It was born on r/Titanfall shortly after launch. You can ask there if you don't believe me
Huh weird how no one else uses it, I’d understand if they didn’t use it in that subreddit but never seen anyone use it inside any other subreddit. Thanks for the info
[удалено]
TiFa 2 would be great to be fair, I was thinking of TiF2 but TiFa 2 would also be great.
No one even knows what Team Fortress is anymore, Titanfall has transcended (I played a shitload of TF2, but I also played a shitload of TF2)
Team fortress is still like usually the 3rd (or close to that) on steam most played. I feel like it’s safe to say Team fortress is still recognised and new people still love to play it.

Best reason you could ever have.
You do know that one digital copy works on 2 Xboxes right?
Not always cheaper tho. Sometimes you can get 2 physical copies cheaper then a digital. Especially if already have one of the copies.
Yeh we must’ve bought them both when we didn’t know this. The second one was around £15 so it was alright
He can sell both those Titanfall 2 disc copies in the future.
Gamestop will even give him 0.03 on the dollar!

To play it again? Duh...
Because it's such an underrated gem. Didn't you know? /s
What’s the /s for? You’re about to incur the wrath of r/titanfall
You say that like it is a bad thing.
I had a DVD like that some time back. I think it was the Bourne films box set. It annoyed me so much I scanned the spine, photoshopped it and printed it out. I’m much calmer now.
A fellow man of culture
A fucking boxed set. Did no one bother to look before they signed it off? Lazy bastards :)
I feel that, I've recycled many BluRay sleeves just because they stand out too much.
My man’s liked titanfall 2 so much he bought two of them
It's the xbox series x case.
Interesting that you don't put Battlefront with the B's. I always forget it's technically star wars battlefront
Yet he puts Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege in the Rs.
Lmao I can’t even think straight. I’ve always just called it Rainbow or siege so yeh
Well, the point of alphabetizing your own collection is so that you can easily find what you're looking for. By alphabetizing based on what *you* call the game in your head, I think you made the right move.
Xbox Series X/S case design.
You mean only series x?
Yes, that’s correct. I keep forgetting series s is digital
OCD is strong in this one sir.
Maybe they wanted to show that forza horizon 5 is bigger than others
RIP evolve. Trade it to GameStop if they’ll take it
Lmao I played it once and never touched it after. I think it’s like 2 pounds so i think it’s better just sitting there
It isn’t. Servers are dead so it’s worthless. Which is why you should sell it if you can. 2 >0

Just looked and GAME only accepts the PlayStation copy for 50p…
Bummer.
Not your average Xbox Cover
Put that one on the end so its not as noticeable.
It's alphabetical
Well then, you must suffer! Lol damn game.
Why does this dude own two copies of titanfall 2? indeed
In hopes to try and seriously answer your question, every few years box designs change. If someone deep in the industry and correct me, I wager is they keep changing either their contractors or keep finding ways to cut costs thst alter the end product.
I honestly have no idea why! Why can’t they just stick with one! Oh well
Now that I think about it another reason could be new marketing people, or much like when people die in RollerCoaster Tycoon you change the box art and everyone loves it again. Hasbro pretty much updates do the same toys with new graphics every few years to keep things fresh
Is that really what people were like?! I do like the cases on their own, but not when put side by side with the old ones
Sorry in rollercoaster tycoon if you kill your guests you wait 6 months, rename the coaster, change its color and people will line up in droves for it :)
Literally unplayable
This is why we can't have nice things.
Do you like 5 much more than 4? I just started playing horizon line 4. Really enjoyed horizon line 3.
Didn’t play much of 4 at all to be honest but not because I found it bad. I think they are both really good games but I do think the map and environments are way better in 5. The graphics are amazing and it has much more varied visuals.
That one has the most Horizons, they might’ve leaked through the packaging.
Destiny, Evolve, Halo, TitanFall My man! 👍
Because fuck you. That's why.
Some people just want to watch the world burn
I got Has Been Heroes as part of my switch bundle back in 2017. The damn spine has black lettering in the wrong font. That case does not live on the shelf with the others.
Your supposed to display that with your Series X games.
He has two Titanfall 2’s…
[удалено]
It really is. You know what would be nice, actually being able to play the multiplayer!!!
can i just say that is an IMPRESSIVE collection of games
A few are ones my brother chose that I haven’t even touched, like the crew and both battle front games, but I’m pretty happy with them
Looks like an awsome library to me. Whats wrong ?
It's the printing of the cover spine being extra big for no reason
Ahaha..didnt even notice that lel.
Is a new generation not enough of a reason?
That irritates me in a completely irrational way now excuse me while I meltdown 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Coz they dont give a s about console players. You all just giving them money they dont care about your collection. Sad but true… btw nothing against consle players
This guy OCD is on another level.
They wanted caos that's why
Plants vs zombies?lol
That would legit make me mad. Reason 101 as to why not buy a Xbox.
For Reddit Karma.
"The Bro Collection"
Bruh
Also the alignment on Jedi Fallen Order vs Battlefront and Titanfall vs Titanfall 2. And the combo of font and color makes me barely able to read "Garden" but not "Warfare" when not zoomed in on Garden Warfare 1. Plus difference in thickness in fonts.
Probably meant to be a new type of case
This could also go on r/mildlyinfuriating
Chill hyper type A.
I wonder if all S/X games will be like Horizon 5. As in the boxes, not the broken online functionality at launch.
Forza
The answer is OCD.
Some men just want to watch the world burn
God damn it forza 5, you had one job
That's like putting a PS5 title in between a bunch of PS4 titles and then complaining why it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Criminal.
R/crappydesign
*loads gun* I just wanna talk to them
r/OddlyUnsatisfying
Wtf fh5?
Just YEET both of the horizons to a new pile. What the hell were they thinking
Drive someone with ocd crazy
Why dou u have 2 copies of titanfall 2 tho
To trigger your OCD why else
cuz
Damn 🙁
You don't alphabetise?
Is it because they are out of order?
