Forza Horizon 5 Player Count Today: What the Numbers Say About Its Popularity

While every racing simulation fan is speculating about the Forza Horizon 6 release, the previous iteration did some magic. Forza Horizon 5 just sold over 5 million copies on PS5, showcasing how Xbox's multi-platform strategy is doing exceptionally well. For such a reason, the Forza Horizon 5 player count is also expected to go beyond expectations.

According to the data, FH5 is the biggest Xbox first-party title to receive this level of success, even competing with PS5 exclusives. With grossing over $100 million in just two months, this article will explain how the latest milestone affects the Forza Horizon 5 player count.

Forza Horizon 5 Player Count: Is There a Surge?

Recent data from Rhys Elliott of Alien Analytics showcased that Forza Horizon 5, one of the best original Xbox games, has sold over 5 million copies on PlayStation 5 in the first week of 2026. Moreover, the title has crossed almost $300 million in revenue just from this port.

Apparently, Xbox's multi-platform strategy is now reaching skyrockets, even though several netizens doubted it at the beginning. Being the first-ever Forza title to be available on PlayStation, no one would've thought that a four-year-old title could hit such a sales landmark.

Meanwhile, it's beating some heavy hitters in the PlayStation 5 market. As a matter of fact, FH5 has sold more copies than one of Kojima's masterpieces, Death Stranding 2, and is topping the charts with Oblivion Remastered.

Enough with the sales, let's come to the player count. While you might think there should be a surge in the PS5 player count, there are no official sources to confirm that. It means there is no official data on the PlayStation's player count. On Steam, however, 23,514 players are active on the servers. We'll make sure to update this once we receive official data for this.

Forza Horizon 6 Release Date

After having a massive reveal at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, Xbox Game Studios has remained silent about the Forza Horizon 6 release. However, official sources have confirmed that the title will go live this year. Yet, one huge question continues to dominate discussions: will the company once again push for a cross-platform release after tasting such massive success? Well, Microsoft hasn't officially confirmed anything about FH6's day-one launch on PS5. Meanwhile, trusted sources have confirmed that Turn 10 Studios and Playground Games are also putting in a joint effort to publish the title to the PlayStation port. Therefore, it's a matter of a couple of months, maybe years.
