Forums - Microsoft - Forza 5 Surpasses 1 Million Online Players in 6 Weeks

 

 

Turn 10 and Microsoft will be pleased at the number of gamers who have taken up the challenge and lure of high octane racing offered by its Forza Motorsport 5 game on Xbox One. In just six weeks of being on sale as a launch game for the Xbox One, Forza 5 has amassed over 1 million individual Gamertags suggesting the game has sold an equal figure or more.  There are other factors to consider such as multiple Gamertags being used on a singular console, and players not connected online being excluded, but either way, the numbers are an impressive feat all the same. Interestingly, it has been rumoured that as of the week ending the 21st of December 2013 Microsoft has sold around 2.5 million Xbox One units which would mean that under half of those gamers have played Forza 5. Take a look at the video for more details.

"and players not connected online being excluded" - Hah, good joke. You pretty much need internet to play the game (first time).

Still, sales are likely close to 1m by now since they were at ~760k as of Dec 21. So one more big week and one smaller one could mean something like 900k sold.


Don't forget digital. Which is pushed hard for X1



Any word on Dead Rising or Ryse?

Don't forget preorders on launch. Wich are not digital. Digital should not account for much sales on new consoles for 2013.
