Also, now that I don't have to buy the game, I'm far far more likely to throw some cash at the car pass or VIP. They're gonna make a ton of cash out of FH4.

it took sea of thieves about 3.5 months to get to 4 million and state of decay a month plus to get to 3 million. Horizon 4 will probably have 4.5-5 mill in its first month.
SOT yea months, but SOD2 i think in it's first month...

anyway FH4 have a large Audience so it safe to predict more then 5M player

Anyone else getting tired of these player numbers being reported by games? Just give the sale figures.

In before but it's a gaas game, players number is what counts.



We don't know if they include the demo or not. Most likely they do.

Bungie still won't tell us how many copies Destiny one sold yet said it had 20 million players and that was including the trial. Destiny one clearly sold well but sold no where near 20 million.

Umm the only stats that would make any difference for actual gamers is player count. Pleading for sales numbers is pretty much just fanboy fodder as the only use for a sales number is to parade it around forums.

Also going forward with all first party games on game pass it doesn't matter anyway.

That's an insane number for a racing game

I'm expecting FH4 to be even bigger

Dont see why not. Game is one of the most popular games on Xbox so it probably did well on PC also.

It seems you can hide other platforms on the leaderboards, this may give you an idea.

According to a fellow Era member, PC was around 10 percent of total leaderboard entries a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if this includes people who playing it on both platforms.

Seeing how Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 performed in player count, I wouldn't be surprised if Horizon 4 launches to >2M Players week 1 and end the year with >5M.

LTD could hit >10M, most likely a certainty if it gets bundled like FH3.

Dont think you can. Atleast i have never seen it on the leaderboards as a option.

What a piece of shit this store is.

Forza Horizon 4 will be huge. Like really huge.
GT3 or Mario Kart huge.

We heard zero bad impressions or complaints about the game so far.
FH3 did 91 on Metacritic.com. This game is an improvement in any possible way i can think of.
And it's available on Game Pass.

Even if FH4 is better than FH3 and racing fans love it. I'm willing to predict it will have a lower score on Metacritic just because.

There's no rhyme or reason to some meta critic scores. Horizon 2 was a great game and scored like 85. Where 3 was marginally better and scored 7+ points higher. There's no reason as to why a sequel will score higher than just because. 4 May very well score 97

Horizon 4 is going to be set in xbox's #2 market. Sales in the U.K. are going to be insane.

It has a good combination yeah. I mean UK players are usually more "loyal" to UK devs, now its set in the UK and it comes of the huge success of FH3 wich sold crazy good in the UK.

I think the older Forza games have difficulties with getting into Gamepass. Probaly licence stuff. Of all the games no Forza game is included yet.

My take on it is something else. These games, a lot of folks can burn out on by playing and won't feel like playing another one really soon. so adding in older titles would be counterproductive when there's always another forza game around the corner.

FH3 should be a next month Game Pass addition or the month after.
Eh I think the time for it to be in xgp has passed. 4 comes out in 3 months. You don't want people burned out or continuing to play a game when your new game comes out. It's be different if it were a short sp narrative game.

If 3 comes onto gamepass tomorrow, I'm going to play it to death and be burned out and have no desire to play 4.

Could be. But with Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 1 already being delisted and maybe even Forza Horizon 2 soon. I have a feeling they maybe dont want to add them because they will be gone after a while,

Best time for 3 imo was when the X enhanced patched dropped. That would have been perfect.
