Forza Horizon 5 hits three million players and Steam’s top ten
Forza Horizon 5, uh, is driving gamers crazy, it seems. According to the game’s ratings, the new racing game hit 800,000 players shortly after Early Access began, and now that it’s officially released, that number has hit three million. And enough of those players bought the game on Steam to place it in the top ten on Valve’s platform.
The Forza Horizon 5 Hall of Fame leaderboard, which tracks every player who has logged in to the game, hit the three million mark earlier today, as Stallion notes on Twitter, and that number continues to increase. This will include anyone who purchased the game or logged in through Game Pass. We already know that almost a million people bought the Premium Edition for $ 99 / £ 85 to access it during Early Access.
The Steam version, which is only available as a standalone purchase, has reached 68,743 concurrent players, as SteamDB shows, making it currently the tenth largest game on the platform, just behind GTA 5. Remember you is competitor Steam players. Over three million people have signed into Forza Horizon 5 on all platforms since Early Access began. Almost 70,000 players are playing on Steam this very second.
