This is the Forza experience the team wants you to have \u2013 sleek, superfast driving with an impeccable backdrop. And then, like some sort of petrol-fumed fever dream, the prologue is over and you\u2019re left to discover this world for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Forza Horizon 6<\/em>, you\u2019re no circuit superstar, here to rub shoulders with racing\u2019s finest. Not yet, anyway. You\u2019re a fan, a festival tourist, visiting Japan on a whim with two good friends. The Horizon Festival is in full swing, but your invite for the Invitational isn\u2019t even in the post yet. You\u2019ll need to qualify for the Invitational by proving your worth.<\/p>\n<p>For newcomers, this narrative makes absolute sense as a tutorial while you get to grips with how these fantastically designed vehicles handle, their nuances, how they each respond to the environment, and what you\u2019ll need to be driving for each type of activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJapan is such an exciting, interesting, intriguing location that many people have wanted from [the Horizon] franchise for a long time, that we\u2019ve wanted to do for a long time,\u201d Design Director Torben Ellert tells us in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D5RIjzpGetg\">new episode of the Official Xbox Podcast<\/a>. \u201cWhat would it feel like if the Festival was there? It wouldn\u2019t dominate Japan, it would be part of Japan, and with that we asked: \u2018how do we give players permission to just be in Japan?\u2019 Well \u2013 tourism.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"69d6d7a7b4187\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d6d7a7b4187\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ForzaHorizon6-Preview-08-Kei_Cars-16x9_WM-d85f9e1bb03c9857f7da-1900x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219765\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>One early game race is a tight, unpredictable zip through Tokyo\u2019s urban district that allowed my modest first car \u2013 a 30-year-old Toyota Cecilia GT-Four \u2013 to shine (literally) through the dense, neon-soaked hotspots of Ginko Avenue and Shibuya Crossing. Another race is a cross-country affair full of rough terrain and water, and your starter off-roader, a \u201970s GMC Jimmy, is the perfect accompaniment for these tumultuous routes.<\/p>\n<p>But what makes <em>Forza Horizon 6<\/em> feel incredibly special is how seamless and inviting this take on Japan is. Once you\u2019re through a short section of introduction, the world is all yours. The campaign is there to guide you through the ranks and races at the heart of the game. Your car\u2019s built-in AI guide is there to offer direction if you feel genuinely stuck. There\u2019s a \u201cgolden path\u201d for you to take \u2013 but there\u2019s no need to take it at anything other than your own pace. For the most part, the goal is simply: Explore.<\/p>\n<p>And that feels like the true innovation at the heart of <em>Forza Horizon 6 \u2013 <\/em>more than ever before, the game tasks you with <em>finding<\/em> what you want to do next, rather than simply heading from icon to icon on the map. It\u2019s a philosophy that suffuses the game \u2013 there\u2019s always another race in the Festival \u2018campaign\u2019 to complete, but there\u2019s an equal sense that if you just take a different turn, you could discover something for yourself.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"69d6d7a7b4550\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d6d7a7b4550\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ForzaHorizon6-Preview-01-City_Alley-16x9_WM-4917b182a7c1228cd8c1-1900x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219760\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>The clearest hint to that change comes from the map itself \u2013 for the first time, a Horizon game has a \u201cfog of war\u201d, with the map unveiling as you travel through it. It gives you a real sense of your journey through the game at a glance, not to mention makes each new icon feel like a discovery rather than something you simply pointed your GPS at.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new system is designed to tell you where you have been and what you have seen in a really legible way,\u201d Ellert explains. \u201cWe have this rule with all of the Discover Japan content where if you find it, you can play it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, freedom is a core design pillar for us \u2013 we\u2019ve really tried to not force you to go and do a specific thing, but instead, tempt you into going and doing them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During my preview time, those discoveries included Time Attacks, which let you set a best time on a specific lap around a route. Meanwhile, Drag Races are there for that insatiable urge to just go really, really fast, without having to worry about arbitrary nonsense like steering or corners. Both of these activities come with the added bonus of drawing from the wider player pool, and your friends list, to act like asymmetric multiplayer \u2013 these tracks will be filled with ghost cars from real players, and billboards displaying best times will constantly beckon you to try and beat their scores.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"69d6d7a7b48c8\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d6d7a7b48c8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ForzaHorizon6-Preview-02-City_Night_Expressway-16x9_WM-7fbc10b241f3c5adb138-1900x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219761\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>What made that experience even richer was the new Aftermarket Cars feature.

For me, that was stumbling upon a black Dodge SRT Demon, parked right next to a Drag Race spot, and I fortunately had enough credits on-hand to purchase it right away. The banged-up Toyota I brought to the Drag Race? Relegated to the garage. The Dodge? Immediately in my hands, ready to take for a spin.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ellert, the Aftermarket Cars feature is informed by the desire to put interesting cars that are relevant to your gameplay experience right in front of you while you\u2019re exploring, if that\u2019s your preferred thing to do: \u201cIt\u2019s a subtle suggestion of \u2018hey, try this car out, take this car to this event\u2019 \u2013 and it\u2019s my hope that more people will experience these wonderful machines by us placing them in the open world, and making them cheaper to purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"imageId\":\"69d6d7a7b4bed\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d6d7a7b4bed\" class=\"wp-block-image size-fullsize wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/ForzaHorizon6-Preview-06-Snow_Race-16x9_WM-39d891d2cdf21bb78adc-1900x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-219762\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p>To push that need to explore even further, each area of Horizon\u2019s Japan has a series of collectible mascots dotted around locations, which grant a small reward when collected. Some of them are set out on the side of the road, easily spottable as you pass, and some are tucked away, goading you to nosey down an as-yet unexplored path.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a step forward for the Horizon series to add activities that make exploration feel not just viable, but exciting. There\u2019s always a reason to veer off course and take a road you\u2019ve never been down, poke around a suburb or a forest, or simply just stop to look at the sun-soaked horizon in front of you and just\u2026 drive towards it, because you can.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the interconnectivity of all of these activities that make <em>Forza Horizon 6<\/em> feel so magically immersive this time around.
