Forza Horizon 6 has reportedly sold 6.4 million copies — and the PS5 version hasn't even been released yet

Fresh data from Alinea Analytics paints a very positive picture for the acclaimed Forza Horizon 6, with the game reportedly selling 6.4 million copies so far. Perhaps more surprising, however, is how those sales are split between Xbox and Steam.

Given the popularity of Xbox Game Pass, many would likely expect PC sales to outpace Xbox by a significant margin. Instead, the data suggests the split is much closer than some may have anticipated.

The report also provides estimates for how many players have accessed the game through Game Pass, helping paint a broader picture of just how successful the latest entry in the series has been. So, let's dive into the numbers and see what they tell us.

That sales split is somewhat surprising, as I'm constantly told that people on Xbox don't buy games, though perhaps I need to spend less time on X. Interestingly, Alinea Analytics also estimates that, alongside those 6.4 million sales, more than 6 million people have accessed the game through Xbox Game Pass. Combined, that puts Forza Horizon 6 within touching distance of half a billion dollars in revenue.

As Alinea Analytics points out, all of this has been achieved before the PS5 version has even launched. Given the success of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation, there's every reason to believe the upcoming release could provide another significant boost to the game's already impressive numbers.

I've spent a lot more time with Forza Horizon 6 over the past few days, and after finally getting my hands on the Halo Warthog, I've been having a great time driving around the map. It's honestly no surprise to see the game performing this well, given just how much there is to do.

Right now, I'm mostly focused on exploring the world and tracking down as many collectibles as possible, which has kept me busy for far longer than I expected. There's something oddly satisfying about ticking everything off the map.

But what about you? What do you make of the game's reported sales figures? Are you impressed by how well it's done so far, or were you expecting even bigger numbers? Let me know in the comments, and as always, be sure to take part in our poll!
