Forza Horizon 4 had the best launch sales in series history

October 24, 2018 Forza Horizon 4 sales set a new record for the series.

Microsoft’s open-world racing series went to the UK in Forza Horizon 4, and the new setting has paid off to the tune of the best early sales in the history of the series. Going all the way back to the original Forza Motorsport in 2005, none has done as well as the latest - and that doesn’t even count the players getting in to play cheap via Microsoft’s Game Pass service. The latest NPD results reports that Forza Horizon 4 was the seventh best-selling game in the US in September, counting both digital and retail sales across Xbox One and PC. It was the number two game on Xbox One this month, right behind NBA 2K19. “Forza Horizon 4 achieved the highest launch month dollar sales in Forza franchise history,” Mat Piscatella tells VentureBeat, “and is the biggest launch for a racing game on any Xbox platform in history.” Those numbers are backed up worldwide, and Microsoft said earlier this month that Forza Horizon 4 is “the fastest-selling game in the series,” according to the UK’s physical charts.
