Does the game have the players count?
That’s a good question. I honestly think that player counter in 5 helped that games virality a bit. People still reference it on occasion today.
Sitting here in the US watching the clock. I’m too old to stay up way late but I’m at least going to start a new game when it launches in a few hours.

Over 120,000 players peaked at Steam, already surpassed FH5 all time peak. Mind you, this is for only Premium players, where you have to spend $120. Holy moly!

Got my yellow wristband. Took me about an hour to get to this point, so here are my first hour thoughts.
I played before going to work today… I don’t play games before work. Ever. But here I am.
This is one of those games that I can’t believe exists. From the scope, to how it all works, to the fun and emotion it can bring out of a person. I know it took 10 years and many sequels to perfect this formula, but I think back to where this started with FH1. I’m sure after that game came out there was a meeting to decide if they should pursue this series with a sequel. Really glad they realized they had something special with that first game and kept building towards something bigger.

This game is perfection . It corrected some of the minor issues I’ve had with the franchise

It’s amazing how they can make big improvements on a formula that was already great. The world design feels like a huge leap forward! Menus are a gigantic improvement in readability and straightforwardness from FH5.
The only thing I’m iffy on so far is the radio stations, specifically the between song patter. Some of the DJs seem weirdly low energy?

Wait, on Steam alone the early release is ALREADY pass the lifetime highest peak of FH5? That seems kinda insane. Especially since this isn’t including game pass users who could pay for the cheaper upgrade or you know the many people who only bought the standard edition or will play on Xbox (standard edition or game pass release). Crazy.

That’s right. People spent $120 to play earlier and that alone doubled the count of FH5 peak. Who knows what the public release brings. Crazier since the price increased as well.

By the time we have the total player count post Playstation launch, this might be one of the biggest games of the year (at least in terms of popularity).

I think radio is an improvement due to including regional songs . I was disappointed in Forza horizon 5 for not including more Latin songs and a Latin radio station. I think the latter was a huge miss foe Forza horizon 5

Agreed. I think Block Party is also much improved in this one, as that station really took a dive in FH5.

This game is wild. The “Pier Pressure” rush event in the RS200 was maybe the most fun I’ve ever had in a racing game!
