Players who pre-order the Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition can play the game four days in advance. The game will be officially unlocked and released on May 19, so exclusive edition players can play it yesterday (May 15). Because of this, SteamDB can count the number of players in the early access period of "Forza Horizon 6".
Surprisingly, the 24-hour online peak of "Forza Horizon 6" reached 172,093 people. Although it has not yet been officially released, it has exceeded the official release peak of the previous game "Forza Horizon 5", which only had 81,000 people.
The exclusive version is priced at RMB 498 in the country.
If compared vertically with other racing games on Steam, SteamDB shows that "Forza Horizon 6" is currently the second largest racing game on Steam, second only to "Give Him Love 5", but it is obvious that the latter is not a "racing" game.
Therefore, in terms of the number of people online, "Forza Horizon 6" is actually the largest racing game on Steam, surpassing "F1 2015", "Need for Speed: Heat" and the previous game "Forza Horizon 5".
It is conceivable that when "Forza Horizon 6" is officially unlocked and released, it should not be a problem for Steam's online peak to exceed 200,000.
