Any game hitting 10 million players is an accomplishment worth celebrating, but Forza Horizon 5 has achieved the feat in record time, apparently making it the largest game launch in Xbox and Xbox Game Pass history. Playground's latest masterpiece deserves it, as well. We concluded in our Forza Horizon 5 review that the studio delivered the "unchallenged champion of open-world racers," with something for almost any player to enjoy.
The game hasn't been perfect, though, with players encountering a variety of bugs and issues in Forza Horizon 5. Playground Games has been working hard to resolve any lingering issues. The first hotfix update for Forza Horizon 5 was just released and aims to solve many early problems.
Forza Horizon 5 is available right now for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, and is also available through Xbox Game Pass. If you want to learn more about FH5 and why it's one of the best Xbox racing games, be sure to check out our ultimate guide to Forza Horizon 5.
