Pre-orders for Forza Motorsport 6 increased by 1005% following its gameplay reveal at E3 last week, according to data released by Amazon.
The spike in sales gave Forza the biggest lift in pre-orders throughout the show, outperforming an 857% increase for Star Wars Battlefront and 690% increase for Rainbow Six Siege.
Forza’s success doesn’t necessarily mean that it was the most pre-ordered game last week, of course, only that it had the biggest increase in sales across the three days of E3 compared to the three days prior.
