Forza Horizon 6 Tops 2026 First-Party Game Revenue Leaderboards with Wolverine in Close 2nd

What happened

Barring the upcoming launch of GTA VI, it's safe to say that the majority of the big game launches for 2026 have already taken place, and it seems as though Microsoft's Forza Horizon 6 will come out of 2026 as one of the year's big winners, per recent data from Alinea Analytics. The research firm estimates that Forza Horizon 6 has earned a whopping $579.2 million in revenue from 8.8 million copies sold on PC and Xbox so far, even without a PS5 port, which is slated to launch in early 2027 .

This still puts it behind Forza Horizon 5, which earned over $1 billion in revenue across all platforms, but Horizon 6 only launched in May 2026, meaning it has only been on the market for around five months. According to the analytics firm, Forza Horizon 6 has handily taken the top spot as the most successful first-party game launch from Xbox and Sony for 2026 so far—and with quite a margin, to boot.
