Microsoft’s new Open World Speed Game, ” Ultimate Race: Horizon 6 ” , was officially launched on 19 May, with a single day when the number of players reached 3.7 million, the best ever in the series “Extreme Race: Horizon ” .
Nearly 1.2 million players have already been first experienced by purchasing advanced or upgraded versions before the official sale of Extreme Race: Horizon 6. According to the ranking data in the game, following the official launch of Horizon 6 on 19 May, millions of players were spilled over overnight, reaching 2.4 million, and the morning of 20 May saw a sharp increase to 3.7 million.
The high population of Horizon 6 is also reflected in the high level of activity of the Steam platform. According to SteamDB, Horizon 6 also had a total of 273,148 online players, breaking the record of 234,458 at the time of its launch.
Despite the great success of Horizon 6, the influx of large numbers of players has also tested the load capacity of the game server. Developer Playground Games also confirmed that some players encountered server connectivity problems and were actively searching.
According to feedback from the players on Reddit and other social platforms, a number of players have experienced problems with the slow loading of the navigation menu and lack of access to online games. Some users indicated that even servers were difficult to access, indicating that the surge in the number of game players had led to excessive back-end server pressure.
Despite some technical problems with the game, the player’s evaluation remains very positive. Many players praised the Japanese context of the game, and fans emphasized how the game vividly showcased the scenery of the country ‘ s major cities and rural highways.
The most recent open-world competition, produced by Playground Games, under the Microsoft flag, was the first to take the stage to Japan. A giant map of cities with the highest building density and the highest vertical stereotypic sense in history — Tokyo — was created in the horizon series. Players can travel between the luxuriant centre of neon, industrial docks and complex urban high-bridges.
The launch recorded more than 550 real authorized vehicles. The game not only recreated Japan ‘ s classic village and Fuji mountain view, but also launched a very hard-core mountain run, perfect for drifting to adapt to Japan ‘ s native racing culture. Players can buy their own exclusive “farms” in the valley of Japan, and can freely build private tracks and custom-built garages on the map, like sandbox games, and can even invite friends to build on your territory online.
