Here’s a six-minute clip from the opening segment of the game developed by Playground Games and Xbox Game Studios.
A new Horizon Festival is about to begin! This celebration of automotive culture and music always starts with a bang, and this time is no exception. You’ll drive next to a bullet train in a 2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo, take on massive jumps in a 2021 RJ Anderson #37 Polaris RZR Pro 4 truck fitted for snow, experience the Touge roads of Japan for the first time in a 1995 Porsche 911 GT2, and drive our cover car, the 2025 GR GT Prototype, for the first time. With songs, cars, and jumps, Forza Horizon 6‘s prologue is the perfect introduction to Horizon Japan.
Welcome to Japan, where stunning rural and urban contrasts come together. Uncover the secrets hidden within the most dense map yet in Horizon, full of verticality, diverse biomes, and spectacular driving experiences. Cruise through the suburbs and along the iconic downtown streets, or challenge yourself in the docks and industrial districts of Tokyo City – the largest urban area ever in a Forza Horizon game and home to car enthusiasts.
Drive over 550 real-world cars, including beloved JDM classics, with cutting-edge engine audio and updated steering animations featuring up to 540 degrees of wheel rotation. Explore Japan and collect special Forza Edition cars with extreme modifications. Find rare aftermarket cars to test drive and buy. On your path to making a name for yourself, you will meet the Legends of the Horizon Festival, participate in Touge Battles, and experience authentic stories rooted in Japan’s legendary car culture. Cars sound better than ever with remastered engine audio and more detailed surface interaction, all brought to life by new acoustic modeling technology that simulates the soundscape of the world. There is more music than in any previous title, including exciting Japanese artists, creating the most diverse soundtrack of any Horizon game yet. Extensive field recordings across all four seasons in Japan create a rich, authentic world for you to experience.
Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19 for Xbox Series and PC and will be available on PlayStation 5 later this year.
