Forza Horizon 4 launched just one week ago on October 2 and both Microsoft and Playground Games have been overwhelmed by the reception the game has received. In the first week alone, two million players have driven on the roads in Forza Horizon 4’s digital Britain.
In my review, I scored Forza Horizon 4 a 9.5/10 and said;
Forza Horizon 4 is a deep, engaging, complex and nearly perfect racing game. There is a near limitless stream of content for players to get into and just when you think you’ve seen everything it has to offer, Horizon 4 gives you something new.
Now, others around the world have shared in the fun and Forza Horizon 4 seems to be an overwhelming success.
