Forza Horizon 6 Smashes Concurrent Player Record For Xbox Game Studios On Steam
Finishing first place.Less than a week ago, we spoke about how popular Forza Horizon 6 was proving to be in early access on Steam - and to no-one's surprise, that's continued with the full release. In fact, Playground's new racer has now become the most-played Xbox Game Studios title on Steam in terms of concurrent players; a massive achievement for the team.Taking a look the very useful SteamDB stats page, Forza Horizon 6 managed a peak player count of 273,148 on launch day, May 19th. With that number, it's shot to the top of the list for concurrent players on an Xbox Game Studios title - beating out the previous record holder — Halo Infinite — by about 500 players.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Digital Foundry Labels Sony's PS5 Exclusivity Pivot As A 'Defensive Move Against Pro
"It's impossible to view this as good news...".You may have seen some recent reports that Sony has decided to stop porting its big single-player PS5 exclusives over to PC, via the ever-reliable Jason Schreier. According to the well-connected journalist, PlayStation Studios boss Herman Hulst confirmed the pivot in a recent meeting, as shared this week on social media:While this news isn't directly relevant to us from a Microsoft perspective, we did think it could have significant ramifications for Xbox and Project Helix - and that's something that the folks over at Digital Foundry agree with us on. Recent analysis on the news from DF even goes as far as saying the decision feels like a "defensive move against Project Helix". Do you agree with that take?Read the full article on purexbox.com
