Forza Horizon 6 Surpasses 6 Million Players

The team behind Forza Horizon 6 is touting the game’s massive success with over 6 million players. The game, which launched globally on May 19, had already surpassed 1 million players in Early Access. Since then, that number has only continued to grow.

In a social media post on May 21, it was confirmed that over 6 million players have experienced the racing simulation set in Japan. As of this writing, there are 258,358 players currently enjoying Forza on Steam alone. With 6 million players at a base price of $70, the game has generated at least $420 million in revenue. Critically, the game continues to do well, with a 91 Metacritic score and an 8.8 user score. Insider Gaming is one of at least a dozen outlets that have given the game a perfect score.
