Japan setting

The early access release of Forza Horizon 6 has set a new player count record, peaking at 273,148 players on Steam, more than tripling the previous record of 81,096 held by Forza Horizon 5. The game was launched in premium version on May 15 and had a broader release on May 19. The standard edition is available on Game Pass, which may increase the total player count beyond half a million. The game's Japan setting and strong review scores have contributed to its popularity.
