7 articles · Updated · Pure Xbox · May 25

4.9 million copies of Forza Horizon 6 were sold across Xbox and Steam by Friday, May 22, according to Alinea Analytics, covering four days of early access and about three days of standard-edition sales.
3 million-plus players also accessed the racer through Xbox Game Pass, lifting total reach well beyond paid sales before the first full weekend had finished.
51% of full-game sales came from Xbox and 49% from Steam, the firm said, with a sizable share likely tied to the $120 early-access edition.
6 million total players had already been announced by Playground Games on May 21, and SteamDB later showed the game topping 300,000 concurrent PC players over the weekend.
