Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition’s Massive Success Suggests Players Are Fine Even With $120 Games

Expert Verified By

Hike in Game Prices Seems Inevitable Now!

Story Highlight
  • Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition is out and has already garnered 172K players on Steam.
  • The version costs $120, but based on the success, it suggests fans are fine with the price. 
  • This clearly indicates players are willing to pay more for what they think is worth it. 

The discussion of game prices has always been a heated debate in the industry. $60 to $70 games have been the norm for the longest time, but as GTA 6 approaches, there have been discussions that we could see an inevitable price hike. 

While many players openly call this out and say that $80 is too much money for a game, Steam shows a different trend. Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition, priced at $120, currently boasts a massive 172K players on the platform.

Why it matters: While the base variant of the game is still the usual but $70, the premium version offers early access to the game and costs $50 more; the numbers show fans have willingly paid that amount.

Forza Horizon 6’s early access has already broken the concurrent players record for racing games

Forza Horizon 6 is currently the 2nd highest-selling game on Steam after Subnautica 2. However, since the game is out for those with the premium edition, it has already established quite a substantial player base

It has already been such a huge hit that, with 172K concurrent players, it became Steam’s biggest racing game of all time. More importantly, these stats are for the premium version that costs a whopping $120.

This clearly suggests that if players are invested in something, they are fine with spending more. So, while Rockstar hasn’t committed to GTA 6 being $80, it seems inevitable that the prices are bound to go up soon enough.
