Playground Games' *Forza Horizon 6* offers an expansive open world set in Japan, unveiled through a preview build. The game's prologue introduces players to iconic locations like Tokyo Tower and Shibuya Crossing via an on-rails sequence before unlocking a springtime map. Players can explore vast areas, though snowdrifts in the northern mountains proved impassable during testing.

The environments showcase polished visuals and dynamic weather, though the preview was limited to 30fps performance mode. Activities include speed traps and races, with hundreds of cars available in the full release. Playground Games enhanced accessibility features from *Horizon 5*, adding options like autosteering to broaden player inclusivity. May 19 marks the launch across Xbox Series X/S, Xbox on PC, Steam, and Xbox Cloud, with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass support.

A later PS5 release is planned.
