Since the launch of Forza Horizon 5 at the beginning of November we have not stopped talking about the number of players who have joined the Mexican driving festival of Playground Games : on the day of its premiere it already exceeded three million users, per week they multiplied to eight million and in just ten days it reached 10 million people between Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, PC and the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cloud game.
Now the new installment of the Forza Horizon saga has broken a new record with more than 12 million players , a figure that is already impressive in itself but that impacts even more when compared to the audience of other games in the franchise: a Forza Horizon 4 , for example, took almost a year to surpass 12 million users (it succeeded in August 2019 and launched in October 2018).
Forza Horizon 5 is the best release in Xbox history
If we take a look at the history of the saga, something possible thanks to the data collected by a ResetEra user , Forza Horizon 5 is not only the best launch in the history of Xbox and Xbox Game Pass , as announced by the company itself , but also It is also the fastest growing title in the entire franchise: this new installment has taken about a week to reach the 10 million player milestone , something that took Forza Horizon 4 around eight or nine months and that Forza Horizon 3 did not get until he was two years old .

- June 2019 – 10 million
- August 2019 – 12 million
