Summary
Forza Horizon 4has been getting a big player boost. It seems that the six-year-old racing game has been getting a lot of attention as of late. Since it was announced thatForza Horizon 4will be delistedfrom major digital storefronts on December 15, the buzz for the title has been particularly high.
While it’s understandable thatForza Horizon 4is getting delisted because of licensing issues, each entry has something different to offer. From cars of a certain time period, to the selection of tracks, to a unique gameplay experience, and even the music, every game has something to offer that others in the franchise will not be able to. That’s why many fans still consider going back to older entries in the franchise.
According tovarious reports,Forza Horizon 4has gotten a huge boost in active player count. It’s been said that the 80% discount offered to PC players has been a huge contributor. Steam’s “Top Sellers” chart has the game listed third behindElden Ringand the Steam Deck. Plus, it has claimed the top spot in the “Top Currently Global Selling Steam Games” chart according to SteamDB. What’s even more amazing is that the six-year-old game has reached a new “all-time peak” of concurrent players with a whopping 71,598 at the time of writing. Admittedly,huge Steam salesdo contribute to games receiving a renewed life, and with its impending delisting,Forza Horizon 4is getting another push.
While many fans are looking forward to an upcoming Xbox sale whereinForza Horizon 4could receive a huge discount, it probably won’t end up like a previous incident wherein aForza Horizonbundle received a 99% discountby accident. Although in this case, it is expected that many gamers will likely be interested in picking the game up. At the moment, all DLCs have been removed for purchase and only the Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions are available until it is fully delisted on December 15.
With many fans of the series awaiting thenext entry in theForza Horizonfranchise, andForza Horizon 5still having active events, the current surge inForza Horizon 4will help immortalize the series and keep it on people’s screens. The renewed adoration may allow those who haven’t tried the game a look at what the fuss is all about. Hopefully, the huge player boost translates well from PC to Xbox consoles as well.
