It’s fair to say that Playground Games’ open-world racing game Forza Horizon 4 has caused quite a stir since it was first officially announced.
So popular is the game in fact, that it has now been played by over 7 million people (across Xbox One and PC platforms) according to a tweet from the official Forza Motorsport Twitter account.
You can view the tweet below.

These numbers are extremely impressive whichever way you slice it, and perhaps not entirely surprising as Forza Horizon 4 had already surpassed the 2 million player count just one week after its launch.
Forza Horizon 4 was also the best-selling game in the series according to the UK physical charts narrowly beating 2016’s Forza Horizon 3 – which is especially impressive considering the ever-increasing digital market.
Forza Horizon 4 released on Xbox One and PC on October 2, 2018. The open-world racer features a setting based on Great Britain and boasts a new season-based weather system which alters weather and terrain conditions.
Are you still enjoying racing through the British countryside? You’re not alone.
