Playground Games developer celebrates major player milestone and revenue estimate for racing title
The title achieved a 91 Metacritic score and an 8.8 user score upon release. Steam alone reported 258,358 concurrent players at the time of the milestone announcement. The game launched with a base price of $70 USD for all regions.
Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios developed the title. The developer celebrated the six million player mark on social media by referencing the number in the game's title. The studio thanked the community for participating in the Horizon Japan event.
The revenue estimate relies on the assumption that all six million players purchased the game at the full base price. This calculation suggests the title generated at least $420 million USD. The figure does not account for potential discounts, bundles, or free trials.
