This new milestone confirms just how much the game has become an absolute reference point for Xbox, both in terms of image and global reach, driven by its multi-platform availability within Microsoft’s own ecosystem and its constant presence on Xbox Game Pass.

Forza Horizon 5 surpasses 55 million players

Forza Horizon 5 has reached the impressive figure of over 55 million players, a mark that positions it as one of the most successful IPs in Xbox history. This growth has occurred in a sustained manner thanks to periodic updates, temporary events, expansions, and the game’s strong social component.

The figure not only reflects direct sales but also the impact of access through Xbox Game Pass, cloud gaming, and the arrival of new audiences over the years. All of this has allowed the title to maintain an active and constantly renewing player base, something unusual for productions of this caliber.

With this record, the Forza Horizon saga consolidates its position as one of Xbox’s strategic pillars, demonstrating that well-managed games-as-a-service can continue to grow long after their initial release.
