<p>It has been one week since we launched <em>Forza Horizon 4</em> and we are humbled by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we continue to receive from players around the world.

On behalf of everyone at Playground Games, thank you for supporting <em>Forza Horizon 4 </em>and making the game such a success!</p>
<p>With such incredible global engagement with <em>Forza Horizon 4</em>, the game is now the highest-rated Xbox exclusive of this generation* and Forza continues to be the best-selling racing franchise of this console generation**.

<li>More than 4.6 million hours of <em>Forza Horizon 4</em> gameplay have been watched across Mixer, Twitch, YouTube and Facebook as of Oct. 9***</li>
<li>Players have logged more than 822.7 million miles – that’s probably not covered under manufacturer warranty</li>
