Forza 3 Players Have Already Driven Over 1.1 Billion Miles

Dan Greenawalt, the game director for Forza 3, has commented on the game. The director told VG247 said the players are racing away in the new game.

“Our community has driven well over 126 million races on Xbox LIVE, totaling over 13 million man-hours of time spent playing the game online,” said the exec.

“They drove over 1.1 billion miles in online races, which is more than five return trips from the earth to the sun. So yeah, we have a community that’s deeply engaged with the game.”

The figures were compiled “a few weeks ago,” Greenawalt said, “so they’re not the most recent server stats, but it gives you an idea the kind of momentum we’ve had nearly 90 days post-release.”

Wondering about these figures? Well, prepare to be blown away.

Greenawalt said that “We’ve had over 8 million auction bids placed online, with over 3.3 million auctions created,”

“Our community has purchased or downloaded nearly 10 million Storefront items.”

1.1 billion miles is pretty darn far. In fact, if you had to drive straight into space you would have passed Saturn already. Barred all things like breathing, food, time etc.

1.1 billion miles equals 1,770,278,400 km.
