Forza Horizon 6 Steam Launch Races to Record 273,148 Concurrent Players
Despite a prominent leak and also being available at launch via Xbox Game Pass, Forza Horizon 6 is off to a high-momentum start in sales and concurrent players on Steam, breaching 273,000 players within two days of launch. Since those numbers only count PC Steam players, the full pool from Xbox consoles and Game Pass players must be even larger, with a humble estimate starting around 300-325K. It's a remarkable performance from the Xbox Game Studios-owned Playground Games, and bodes well for the future PlayStation 5 release, though that date is still TBA.
As for why Forza Horizon 6 is proving so successful, a few different factors are at play. Among them are simply the location and graphics: unlike past entries, Horizon 6 is based solely in Japan, and uses the custom, ray-tracing powered ForzaTech engine.
