Alinea Analytics data indicate Forza Horizon 6 sold around 4.9 million copies across Xbox and Steam by May 22, including four days of early access and roughly three days of main release, with over 3 million players accessing the game via Xbox Game Pass. Playground Games had earlier cited 6 million players, and SteamDB reported a concurrent PC peak over 300,000 during opening weekend. While third-party figures should be treated cautiously, the numbers align with official claims and suggest FH6 is performing strongly across platforms.

Gen Z Puts Ownership on Pause as Game Pass Reshapes How We Buy Games

A IGN/Dentsu study reports 62% of players no longer buy full-price games, signaling a shift from ownership to subscription-based discovery among Gen Z. The piece argues Game Pass could benefit by aligning with younger audiences’ comfort with subscriptions and by delivering strong first-party and indie titles, effectively acting as a discovery engine. While not everyone will abandon owning games, rising prices and industry trends provide context for why subscriptions may increasingly shape how we buy and experience games.
