Game Pass Doesn't Hinder Sales: Forza Horizon 6 Shows Strong Results on Steam
Forza Horizon 6 launched on Xbox Game Pass without a drop in player interest. According to Microsoft, over 6 million people have already played the game, and the online player count on Steam, instead of the expected decline, continues to grow.
On May 19, the peak online player count for Forza Horizon 6 on Steam was around 264 thousand players, and the very next day it grew to over 284 thousand. This makes the launch one of the most successful in the series: the figures are approximately 3.5 times higher than those of Forza Horizon 5.
According to Gamalytic's estimates, over 2 million copies of the game have been sold on Steam alone. These figures do not include sales on the Xbox Store.
The project's success has once again intensified the discussion about the impact of subscription services. Many expected a drop in sales due to its release on Game Pass, but practice shows the opposite — a similar situation is observed with Subnautica 2.
