Not exactly luck: Forza Horizon 6 blasted up Steam leaderboards on day one of early access. Peak concurrent players reached 172,000 — yes, 172k — outpacing earlier series entries and even knocking F1 2015 off its short-lived top spot (vs. prior records). Only premium players who paid $119.99 were let in immediately; everyone else has to wait three days. The Steam score sits at a Mostly Positive 71% from ~11.5k reviews — a bit rough around the edges, sure, but not irredeemable (e.g., server issues and polish complaints can be addressed).
