Forza Horizon 5, one of Xbox’s most popular current-generation projects, hasn’t lost its audience over time. On the contrary, the open-world racing game set in Mexico keeps expanding its community, proving its concept remains relevant within the brand’s lineup. This was reported by playground.ru reports .
FH5’s player count has surpassed 55 million — a milestone that makes it one of the most successful games in Xbox history. The steady growth is said to be driven by regular updates, limited-time events, additional content, and a strong social system.
Reaching the new milestone once again confirms that Forza Horizon 5 has become a benchmark for Xbox not only in terms of image, but also in terms of reach. Availability across multiple platforms and inclusion in Xbox Game Pass have helped the game maintain a consistently active and steadily growing player base — a result that’s rare for projects of this scale.
Overall, the Forza Horizon franchise has firmly established itself as one of Xbox’s core brands. It demonstrates in practice that when the “game-as-a-service” model is managed well, popularity can keep rising even years after release.
The piece also sparked some debate: some questioned the “one of the best” label, noting that competition in the genre isn’t particularly strong and pointing out that Need for Speed’s state in recent years hasn’t satisfied many players.
