Forza Horizon 6 has already attracted an impressive player base on PC during early access, with SteamDB reporting a peak concurrent player count in excess of 150,000.

The figure stands out because the Steam version of the game is not available via subscription: access on Valve's platform requires a paid purchase priced at £109.99 (or $119.99), while Microsoft first‑party titles typically launch day one on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox consoles and PC.

Playground Games' open‑world racer reached the milestone despite those barriers to entry, underlining strong demand for ownership among PC players as the title approaches full release. The concurrent player peak was highlighted in coverage by Pure Xbox, based on the publicly available SteamDB statistics.

The early access performance suggests a commercially healthy launch window for Forza Horizon 6, demonstrating that premium pricing and Game Pass availability are not mutually exclusive indicators of success for major first‑party releases.
