Crazy Stat From Gavin Raeburn (Former Playground Games Studio Head).
"The racing market now is very healthy, it's very good, it's doing well," Raeburn says. "But if you look at the market, you look at Horizon...the number of people I've spoken to who've played Horizon who would say, 'I didn't think I like racing games, but I love Horizon' – it's been hugely successful.
"If you look at the revenue earning of that game (Forza Horizon 5) now, it beats Gran Turismo, F1, Need For Speed and The Crew put together. That's before Horizon went over to PlayStation. That's massive. I think what that's done to the market, though, [is] all the other racing developers are now copying a lot of that Horizon formula.
