Forza Horizon 6 speeds into Steam's top 5 most played games with over 300k concurrent players

Forza Horizon 6 dominates Steam's top 5 most played games

Forza Horizon 6 is now part of Steam’s top 5 most played games with over 300k concurrent players, according to SteamDB. The game has slipped into the elite ranks, edging out titles like Apex Legends and Slay the Spire 2 while trailing Dota 2, PUBG, and Counter‑Strike 2. Phil Savage of PC Gamer described it as “riding a well‑worn track,” yet the world’s biggest open‑world racing series still sells like hotcakes.

The series’ legacy and the road ahead

The success of Forza Horizon 6 feels inevitable, given its historic series record sales before launch. Former Turn 10 employee Fred Russell warned that the main Motorsport franchise was dead after layoffs, but this spinoff appears to have left its forebear in the dust. Microsoft’s current pressure as a BDS target adds tension, yet the racing juggernaut continues to rise.

• 300k+ concurrent players on Steam
• Series‑wide record pre‑launch sales
• Ongoing development plans: drivatar AI difficulty, crash bugs, optimization

Forza Horizon 6’s future could be brighter than ever, even as the world watches.
