204 Comments

Microsoft announced a new milestone for its Xbox racing franchise today, confirming that, between Forza Motorsport 5 and Forza Horizon 2, more than 7 million people have played the franchise on Xbox One. A specific breakdown between each game was not announced.

The company shared the new milestone today, September 15, the day that Forza Motorsport 6 launches on Xbox One. It's the "biggest Forza ever created," Microsoft says, noting that it includes 460 cars, 26 tracks, and 24-player online multiplayer. The game will launch in Europe this coming Friday, September 18.

Microsoft has also released a new trailer for Forza 6's Fast & Furious Car Pack, which includes cars seen in the popular movie series. Some of these include the 2014 Terradyne Gurkha LAPV and the 2002 Nissan Fairlady Z. The car pack is included with the Forza 6 Ultimate ($100) and Deluxe ($80) editions, or can be purchased by itself for $10. Alternatively, you can buy the cars individually for $3 each.

In addition, Microsoft announced that everyone who played the Forza 6 demo--more than 1 million people and counting--will get a free car in the form of the 2017 Ford GT. This is the game's cover car.

Lastly, Microsoft also reminded gamers today that it's selling a $400 Forza 6 Xbox One bundle that comes with a 1 TB blue system, matching controller, and a digital copy of Forza 6.

@Andycreep1: GT3 was a great game, but was the last GT that I actually enjoyed. I found that they started getting lazy after that. Luckily Forza started around the same time so I changed lanes to them from GT and haven't looked back.

So without jumping through hoops you won't even get the car from the cover of the fucking game for your $60.

The industry today...

I must say I am really enjoying Forza 6. I pre-ordered the game for my nephew who is 8 on Amazon as I am a prime member and would save him some money vs purchasing it in the store. I had bought Forza 5 with my xbox one at launch and when he moved out here a while ago from Wyoming I hooked it up downstairs and watched him play. He loved it so much I bought him and Xbox One and the GOTY edition of Forza 5. Of course he wanted all of the DLC and he got it. One cool thing was because my gamertag was connected to his I got the DLC as well. So when he saw the ultimate edition on Xbox one and wanted it but it was too much. I decided to fork over the money and buy it for myself. I find Forza 6 much more accessible to me in my opinion. I can actually get gold much easier and I do love the spins. So far I am Level 12 and loving every minute of it. Something I wasn't doing in Forza 5. My only gripe is you cannot sell any cars you own. I wasn't going to originally purchase this for myself as I wasn't very good at 5 and found myself barely playing it but this one shocked me and I can definitely see myself playing this game for a long time.

That's such marketing BS. Does that mean since I played both games and both demos that I was counted as four people?

So I just picked up Forza 6 and....WOW! It might stand to better than GT3 and Forza 4, my two favorite racing games of all time. The graphics are great, the physics model is a definite improvement, cars a and tracks are perfect, AI is great, just everything so far is spot on. The rain model is far more than a pretty feature. It adds true depth and makes you work but isn't as punishing as Asseto Corso or Project Cars. My only gripe so far is that it doesn't have my CTS-V in it.

@7tizz: yea and if you look at vgcharts (predicted) sales for horizon2 and forza 5 you will see just how totally unreliable they are hell I think they had mcc at about 2 million and Microsoft came out with around 5 million that's a fare bit off but yet people use it to compare ps4 and xbox one sales and there xbox one sales are wwwaaaaaayyyyyy of.

@xboticon: I feel sad for Sony fanboys and any other fanboys like you. So entrapped in your hatred for the other's success that you twist anything you can to make it fit your agenda. You would make a great US Congressman. Did you Bungie jump out of your mom with the umbilical cord wrapped around your neck at birth?

@xboticon: Lmao! You seem upset that Forza is doing so well.

So Forza 5 sold 2 million, and Forza Horizon 2 sold 1 million? So over 4 million people have played these two games without buying either one huh?

Yeah... I'm going to have to call BS on that, unless you have some sort of proof. I'd tend to think that between both of those titles, around 5+ million sold, along with a couple of million played without buying.

@babyjoker1221: This individual clearly has some emotional issues. I'd probably just leave it alone instead of egging him on further. Next he'll be quoting PS4 sales and randomly mentioning abstract Japanese game titles that aren't even out yet.

@jerjef: agreed. Ive played all the forzas and i can say after around 50+ hours into forza 6, its the real deal. No gimmics and beating around the bush. Its gonna revitalize the franchise to be at the top, where it should be once again.

@gottago42: over 2 million. I think it was just on a news page not too long ago. What's your point? The games aren't comparable. GT is more like forza.

@gottago42: As a Forza 6 player, I must ask, what is the relevance of this question? There are no sales figures in this article, nor any mention of any other game outside of the Forza franchise. Just Turn 10 trying to push numbers anyway they can to make it seem their flagship racing title is far more popular than it actually is.

So aside from making yourself look like an idiot, you achieved absolutely nothing. Your comment was utterly pointless and not warranted in any way, shape or form. How about you indulge in the fact that there are other racing titles to choose from, and the existence of said racing titles pushes the genre as whole to continuously advance?

All that aside, you should give Driveclub a try. It's really not a bad game. Though Forza 6 is undoubtedly the better game overall, Driveclub has features that Forza 6 doesn't have, like dynamic weather.

@thekickwagon: here here, i'm not a PS4 owner.... not until The Last Guardian releases anyway. But i spent an hour or so playing Drive Club in a local game shop. It's a really good game and it looks absolutely phenomenal.... as an Xbox One owner can i say that DC looks better than anything on the one?

Forza is a pretty solid game series, and for it to have that much number is not surprising, but still impressive nonetheless. Congrats to MS and Turn 10 for that success.
