Forza Horizon 5 Not Slowing Down; 10 Million Players Achieved

Microsoft boasted that Forza Horizon 5 has already been played by more than 10 million players. The game recorded the best first week in the history of Xbox consoles and Game Pass.

The craze around Forza Horizon 5 is getting bigger and bigger. Playground Games boasted that the game has already been played by over 10 million people. However, this number should not be equated with the results of sales. The project is also available in the Game Pass subscription. Despite this, the result is nevertheless very impressive.

Earlier - after crossing the threshold of 4.5 million players - Microsoft boasted that Forza Horizon 5 became the largest debut in the history of games released by Xbox Game Studios. Now it was reported that with the result of 10 million users, the game recorded the best first week in the history of Xbox consoles and Game Pass service.
