Forza Horizon 6 hits a massive milestone across Xbox, PC, and Game Pass after its explosive release — it just set a new Steam peak player count, too
Forza Horizon 6, the latest open-world arcade racer from Playground Games, has launched to exceptional success across multiple platforms. Following its May 19 release, the game has exceeded expectations with strong player adoption on Xbox, PC, and Game Pass.
The game achieved a notable milestone on Steam, setting a new peak player count with over 270,000 concurrent players. This impressive figure follows a robust Early Access period that generated significant momentum heading into the full release.
The game’s performance across platforms reflects strong market demand for the franchise.

The multi-platform strategy spanning Xbox consoles, PC, and cloud gaming services positions it as one of 2026’s major gaming releases.
