Lots of people are playing recently launched gamepass games in a time when Microsoft is currently giving away 3 months of the service for $1/1€?
Wow I'm so shocked.
5 is like 3 and 4 but newer with better graphics and a different setting. People that like 3 and 4 will like 5.i do like arcade racers though but thanks for telling me what i like.
my biggest issue with the Horizon games were the car controls which yknow play a huge part of a racing game so i didn't enjoy it for that. Everything else was fine but quite secondary in a car game. I'm just curious what 5 does that's better than 3/4? you're telling me i won't like it if i didn't like the others. so i'm asking if people liked the others then why is 5 so good? what's new/different?
thanks for your answer. the festival setting/dialogue didn't bother me. the maps were impressive too. the one set in the UK did bother me a little but i do live there so i was being a bit nit picky with places that were missing/in the wrong place. so 5's map is just bigger and more detailed?
Next target to smash, 10 mil at year end - Let’s go! 🏎
The average rate is about a mil per day. I think 10M by end of TuesdayIt'll probably hit 10 million before Black Friday.

You mean like 15m?It'll probably hit 10 million before Black Friday.
Disingenius?Serious question, why is this disingenuous $1 bullshit allowed when the equally disingenuous TF stuff isn’t?
Year end will have Halo Infinite to compete on Gamepass attention. Many of the people playing FH5 now will start playing that instead IMO.There are new games coming to Gamepass all the time and it’s not like all games on Xbox has 8+ mil players. Really, no matter how you look at it it’s a massive success for Playground, Xbox Game Studios and Microsoft, it was expected to climb the charts but I don’t think anybody expected these numbers this fast.

That would be nuts! I don’t see that happening tbh, but I know the life time player count for FH4 was above 25 million many months ago.You mean like 15m?
It will hit 10m in 3 days.
So still over 1 1/2 weeks until Black Friday.
15m players in the first month.
20m end of year.
If that happens. Whoa.You mean like 15m?

The game just launched and millions of people with gamepass will at least try it once. This was obviously going to happen, what matters is how high it is on the list after a couple of months.
Like the whole 5 6 7 8 10 million player thing. Uh, there aren’t that many people actually playing the game, it’s mostly people who try the game.
genuine question: what makes it better than previous games? i played Horizon 3 + 4 but didn't enjoy them. what is so good about 5 that everyone is going crazy about?
Wait till people learn it has a battle Royale mode too.
Well, to start, I left Forza Horizon 4 much sooner and moved on, Forza Horizon 5 approach seems far better executed and is holding my interest more, the story mode seems like a genuine adventure game. Driving the cars feels a lot more addicting than in year's past. This feels more like an actual RPG. Maybe I didn't give Forza Horizon 4 enough of a chance to find out, but I've been impressed. Everything feels more substantial, especially with how things unlock. And Mexico is far more interesting a space to me.
All games get a drop in concurrent players months after launch, it’s normal. You think millions are playing Ratchet, The Ascent now? Even my GOTY Metroid Dread is mostly back on the shelf after I did a 100% run. What’s impressive here is that 8+ million gamers has played FH5 after just a week, go check how many more games reach those figures that fast, or ever. Fortnite will go back to the top eventually but there is still a reason to celebrate how massive this launch isThe game just launched and millions of people with gamepass will at least try it once.

FH4 was the best selling title on Xbox One. More than Minecraft. More than GTA. More than anything.Crazy numbers with Xbox + PC . Gamepass flexing its legs right there.
Is this true?FH4 was the best selling title on Xbox One. More than Minecraft. More than GTA. More than anything.
The fact a sequel that is available to a wider amount of people has become the most-played title this week is not crazy.
I think it'll drop off and the rate will slow down, but by end of year I'm guessing 14-16M. By end of life (meaning Horizon 6 in 2-3 years) I expect total play count to be closer to 40M+lol nothing surprise me at this point with this gameWhat’s a realistic end of year guess?

Er you realize even games like Fortnite and Minecraft dont have 8., 9, and 10mil actually playing the game at any one time right?. Of course its total players and not number of players actually playing.The game just launched and millions of people with gamepass will at least try it once.

24mil players on last report, which was months ago.Had no idea that FH4 was that popular. Interesting list.

That’s ancient, 2017, and says 10 million players not sold copies. He said it was the best selling title. Still interesting though, FH3 is down at #15, the IP has exploded in popularity.![]()

I believe GTAV, Roblox, and Minecraft have the highest unique player numbers. And yeah put all COD games together and they will be right up there too.I had seen that, I just figured that CoD and GTAV numbers were still bigger. Although, GTAV probably does have a mammoth overall number if you figure in all the platforms/versions.
Those numbers are old as dirt. The FH4 number is an old player base count, not number of copies sold, and as someone already pointed out, they hit 24 mil for player base.![]()

To manabyte sales and playerbase are interchangeable. Be careful you will get into a string of wierd back and forth with others that will defy logic.Those numbers are old as dirt.

The nice even 2 million number for Sea of Thieves for example is from a 2018 interview of a Rare press rep when SoT hit the 4 mil player base mark and he was asked about the copies sold vs Gamepass breakdown, as Gamepass was still fairly new. He said about half that number was physical/digital copies sold and half was Gamepass. That is the only time Rare has released a number of copies sold. Ever since then, it has been player base numbers, which hit 25 mil a month or two ago.
Who was the guy in the FH5 threads trying to downplay the total player count as much as possible trying to make it look like nobody is playing the game? Because according to his methodology, if a game has millions of player count but only 75,000 are playing it on Steam at that very minute on their tracker, it means the game is dead and only 75,000 people are going to play the game.
The logic there is also funny considering the Xbox and PC crowd can be brought together via cross-play. You can't just count Steam numbers.Who was the guy in the FH5 threads trying to downplay the total player count as much as possible trying to make it look like nobody is playing the game?

8mil. gj MS
For me FH5 is not appealing game. Same as all FH games before, I'm more in to the original Forza or GT games.
To be fair, ManaByte didnt make the claim.To manabyte sales and playerbase are interchangeable. Be careful you will get into a string of wierd back and forth with others that will defy logic.
Nobody with an ounce of common sense will claim FH4 outsold GTAV or Minecraft.
This is good taste. Congrats green rats.
