Forza Horizon 6 speeds into Steam’s top 5 most played games with over 300k concurrent players
Forza Horizon 6 has exceeded 300,000 concurrent players on Steam, securing a position in the platform’s top 5 most-played games. The racing title now ranks alongside major competitors like Apex Legends and Slay the Spire 2, trailing only Dota 2, PUBG, and Counter-Strike 2 in player count.
The strong launch performance is notable given the game’s iterative approach to the franchise. PC Gamer’s review acknowledged it “rides a well-worn track,” but new content additions—including giant mechs, kei trucks, and Babymetal appearances—have resonated with players. The game launched at $70 for the standard edition, with a $120 premium edition also available.
This milestone demonstrates the continued commercial appeal of the Forza Horizon franchise despite incremental innovation. The concurrent player numbers place it among the most successful recent launches on Steam, indicating robust audience demand for open-world racing experiences on PC.
