Forza Horizon 5 Passed 15 Million Players In Just Two Months

Forza Hori­zon 5 con­tin­ues to zip through the charts, and it has now passed anoth­er milestone–15 mil­lion play­ers in just two months time. The in-game play­er-counter revealed this new num­ber, which was shared on social media (via TheGamer).

Of course, this does­n’t mean the game has sold that many copies, espe­cial­ly con­sid­er­ing the rac­ing title is avail­able on Microsoft­’s Xbox Game Pass stream­ing ser­vice. Either way, this is still a major mile­stone for Play­ground’s lat­est game.

The game reached 4.5 mil­lion play­ers across con­sole, cloud, and PC from the start (also reach­ing 6 mil­lion in the first week), and it hold the “largest launch day” ever for a Xbox Game Stu­dios title. It also reached a peak con­cur­rent play­er count that was three times big­ger than Forza Hori­zon 4’s peak con­cur­rent record.

Play­ground will con­tin­ue to update Forza Hori­zon 5, even while a sec­ond team from the stu­dio devel­ops a new Fable game. As anoth­er side note, Play­ground’s co-fun­der Gavin Rae­burn has left the studio.
