Despite the open world racer still being in early access, Forza Horizon 6 has already begun to set new benchmarks for the franchise which includes player counts on Steam that are more than double the numbers of it’s predecessor Forza Horizon 5. First spotted by GamesRadar+, Forza Horizon 6’s all-time player peak on Steam is now sitting at a colossal 172,093 and when compared to the previous entry in the series which had a peak of 81,096 on launch day, the numbers seem all the more gigantic.
What’s more impressive is the fact that this number is only a representation of the players who bought the pricier Premium Edition of the game so naturally, when the standard edition is available on May 19, the numbers are expected to be even higher.
And currently on Steam, Forza Horizon 6 is at number two in the list of highest selling titles worldwide where the top position is held by the recently released Subnautica 2 which has even more impressive player stats.
