The latest installment in the Forza Horizon series, which allows players to explore Japan and engage in races against mechs, has seen significant early adoption. Players who purchased the premium edition have gained access to the game four days ahead of its official release, with a notable number of players participating. According to SteamDB, the game achieved a peak of 178,009 players on Steam, exceeding the peak player count of Forza Horizon 5, which reached 81,096 players on Steam approximately four-and-a-half years ago. The racing game genre has become increasingly dominated by a single competitor, with Forza Horizon 6 appearing to have earned its position as a leader. This dominance may be attributed to the cancellation of Motorsport and the postponement of Need for Speed, as well as the delisting of Lego 2K Drive.
Our reviewer, Phil Savage, awarded Forza Horizon 6 a score of 84, praising the game's vast amount of content and sandbox freedom, stating that no other racing series operates on this scale. Players who purchased the premium edition for $120 have not only gained early access to the game but also received additional content, including two expansions, a car pass, and two car packs, as well as a welcome pack and VIP membership. This bundle may be attractive to players who plan to purchase the DLC anyway, as it provides a convenient and cost-effective way to access the game's content.
Forza Horizon 6's car list, treasure cars, barn finds, and review are available for players to explore and learn more about the game's features and content.
