It was always a given that Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6 would be a massive success, even if Xbox is charging an arm and a leg for the Premium Edition. Nevertheless, as revealed by DayOne (formerly XboxEra), over one million players booked virtual tickets to Japan in advance.
To be more specific, 1,191,886 players (and rising) have seemingly been tracked by the in-game leaderboard. And yes, in case you’re wondering, that’s already beyond what Forza Horizon 5 managed, that too in a shorter time frame.
Again, keep in mind that this is for Premium Edition owners, namely those who shelled out $140 or Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers who spent $60 for advanced access. One can only imagine what launch numbers will be when the Standard Edition launches on May 19th, but it could very well surpass its predecessor’s record of over ten million in the first week.
