You don’t need anyone to tell you that Forza Horizon 6 is going to be another massive success for the franchise. As such, hearing that it’s allegedly sold more than 500,000 copies on Steam alone and is currently at 3.3 million wishlists, at least according to Alinea Analytics, should be even less surprising.
The firm estimates that the open-world racer is already close to generating $30 million in revenue when accounting for its various editions and regional pricing. It’s estimated to sell two million units on Steam in the first 24 hours of launch, and considering that this is only one storefront, you can imagine how it would perform overall.
Much of the hype could be attributed to the incredible reaction to Forza Horizon 6, which had more than 10 million Game Pass players in its first ten days, but there’s more. It’s the first title in the franchise in almost five years, and given how disappointing Forza Motorsport turned out, it’s understandable that fans are craving some quality sim racing.
Of course, finally heading to Japan after years of fan requests doesn’t hurt. Forza Horizon 6 is available on May 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PC, with the PS5 version due later this year. In the meantime, check out this brief new teaser of Tokyo City, which is so massive that it had a dedicated team at Playground.
