Forza Horizon 5 passes 28 million players

The Forza Horizon sub-franchise has been going from strength to strength – with the spin-off series in many ways surpassing the mainline Forza entries. In a little over one year since its launch, Forza Horizon 5 has now amassed over 28 million players.

As reported by the Xbox-focused Twitter page ‘Klobrille’ in going to the in-game stats on Forza Horizon 5 it can be seen that the game – which only released in November 2021 – has amassed a player base of over 28 million people.

It is worth noting that this number includes the total player base, meaning that if a person was to simply play for 5 minutes their contribution would count towards this figure.

Furthermore, with Horizon being a day-one Game Pass addition, it is safe to say that a large percentage of the 28 million likely played via the service. Still, this is a highly impressive figure regardless and matches the game’s equally as high critical reception.

This figure is only set to increase further as Playground Games have now teased Forza Horizon’s second major expansion, saying “The next big thing from the Horizon Festival in Mexico is ready to be revealed! Tune in this Thursday [tomorrow] for ALL the details”. The showcase will go live at 5PM UK time.
