Forza Horizon 6 Generates Over $140 Million Ahead Of Global Launch
Forza Horizon 6 is already recording massive commercial success ahead of its worldwide release, with reports indicating the racing game has generated more than $140 million from Premium Edition sales alone.
The game became available on May 15 for players who purchased the Premium Edition, while the full global release is scheduled for May 19.
According to player statistics circulating online, the title has already surpassed one million players before its official launch date. A screenshot shared by gaming platform DayOne suggested that close to 1.2 million gamers purchased the Premium Edition.
With the Premium Edition priced at $120, estimates suggest the game has already crossed the $140 million revenue mark from premium sales only, with figures expected to increase further after the general release.
The latest instalment in the popular racing franchise is also attracting strong engagement on Steam. At the time of reporting, more than 118,000 players were active on the platform, while peak player counts reportedly exceeded 178,000 earlier in the day.
Forza Horizon 6 has also received widespread praise from critics. Based on dozens of published reviews, the game currently holds a score above 90 on review aggregation platform Metacritic and has earned a “Must-Play” rating.
Several gaming outlets awarded the title perfect scores, praising its visuals, gameplay experience and expansive world design. However, some reviewers noted that the game still lacks depth in certain areas.
The new title draws significant inspiration from Japanese culture and themes, with developers expected to continue expanding the game through updates and additional content in the coming years.
Meanwhile, modding communities have already started creating unofficial modifications for the game shortly after the launch of early access.
