Forza Horizon 4 has best launch sales in franchise’s 13-year history

Forza Horizon 4 had the best launch in the franchise’s 13-year history, market researcher The NPD Group reported today. The open-world racing game launched on October 2 for Xbox One and PC. The NPD Group’s latest report on U.S. game sales covers the period from September 2 to October 6. During that time, Forza Horizon 4 was the No. 7 best-selling game.

Forza Horizon 4 broke the series record in terms of dollar sales. The racing game is offered as part of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, a monthly subscription that gives you download access to titles like Forza Horizon 4. But even though people could access the game through that service, Forza Horizon 4 still sold better than other game in the series.
