Forza Horizon 4 breaks player record following announcement of its delisting

Yesterday, we reported on the unfortunate announcement that Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 4 will be delisted later this year “due to licensing and agreements with our partners”. As has been the case with many soon-to-be-delisted games, Forza Horizon 4 has now shot to the top of the PC charts, breaking its own peak player record.

As reported by ResetEra user ‘Theorry’, in the immediacy following the announcement that Forza Horizon 4 would be delisted from store fronts this December, the game saw an influx of players – going from a peak concurrent player count of 10,931 in May to a new record of 71,598 players.

Many of these concurrents appear to be new players too, as the game also shot to the top of the Steam Global Best Sellers list for a brief time.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Microsoft/Playground Games officially comment on this recent surge in Forza Horizon 4’s popularity.
