Turn 10 Studios has announced that Forza Motorsport 5 has not only become the fastest selling Forza title, but also the fastest selling racing title in Xbox history! Over one third of Xbox One owners have purchased FM5 since its November 22 release, also making it the best selling racing title by console in the past decade.
Racers have already run over 94 million races, tallying up 653 million road miles (That’s like driving around the world over 49,000 times!) over 8 million hours of combined gameplay. Forza’s Drivatar system has proven a true hit, with over 1 billion races run by the virtual drivers. The livery editor has been embraced by the community, with members creating hundreds of thousands of unique designs for cars!
