Forza Horizon 5 has a fantastic start. Already on Friday, when the festival in Mexico opened to the owners of a more expensive edition of the game, 700,000 players were recorded. The numbers have been rising since yesterday, and today the boss of the Xbox boasted that 4.5 million players on consoles, PCs and in the cloud already enjoy the races.
Forza Horizon 5 has the best start in game history since Xbox Game Studios. Unfortunately, the title that the game deposed was not revealed. Instead, we learned that the record in the number of concurrent players is 3 times higher than the record of Forzy Horizon 4.
We probably won’t know anything about the sales themselves. Microsoft does not share these numbers, and Forza Horizon 5 has been around since its launch available in an Xbox Game Pass subscription for Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One consoles, as well as for PC and over the cloud.

We recommended Forzu Horizon 5 in our review 10/10. Adam Bárta did not expect the fifth part to be that good. “The racing series from Playground Games did not disappoint again and in the new episode it offers a diverse map of Mexico, beautiful audiovisual, better car sounds and well-crafted multiplayer. Forza Horizon 5 is simply an almost perfect game that takes the best of the previous parts and takes everything one step further, “ wrote in the verdict.
As part of the promotion Forzy Horizon 5 The Xbox team from Australia and New Zealand opted for an unconventional video of a helicopter descending from a height of about 1,300 meters.
