Forza Horizon 4 enters top sellers list following Steam debut

Forza Horizon 4 appears to be off to a decent start on Steam following its March 9 release.

The game is currently No.11 on the Steam top sellers list and had a peak concurrent player count of 14,609 earlier on Wednesday, according to SteamDB.

Forza Horizon 4’s Steam launch marks the first time Microsoft’s long-running racing series has been released on Valve’s digital distribution platform.

Originally released for Xbox One and Windows PC in 2018, the game was updated for Xbox Series X/S in 2020, when it was also made available on Android devices through cloud gaming with Game Pass Ultimate.

The Steam version of the open-world racer, which is developed by UK-based Playground Games and takes place in Great Britain, supports cross-play with all other platforms.

Microsoft announced in 2019 that it would be bringing its first-party titles to Steam in order to give PC players more choice in where they buy games.
