Forza Horizon 6

Forza Horizon 6 is the sixth part of the series from Playground Games, and for the first time the action has moved to Japan. The map is built vertically: in the south is night-time Tokyo with its Ginza districts and the legendary Daikoku Parking (an iconic JDM meet-up spot in Yokohama), and in the north are snowy Hokkaido and the foot of Mount Fuji. Between them are the mountain serpentines of Honshu (touge), coastal highways and the bamboo groves of Arashiyama. Hokkaido is the only region with snow all year round.

The season system is one of the main features of Horizon: 4 seasons change once per real-world week, and each one changes the tracks and tactics. Weather works locally: rain on the coast, fog in the valleys, snow on the upper serpentines, cherry blossoms in spring across the whole world. This directly affects grip and the way the car behaves, and a familiar route in dry weather can turn into a drift zone after rain.

The garage holds 550+ cars: JDM classics of the 80s and 90s (Skyline GT-R, Supra MK4, RX-7, AE86), kei cars and modern hypercars. Competitions cover drift, rally, city street races and off-road on mountain trails. The main additions compared with FH5: Estate, a customizable base with garages and community locations; and CoLab, a joint real-time event editor for up to 12 players (previously EventLab was a solo-only tool).

Horizon Online keeps the open world running for up to 72 players at once with PC x Xbox Series cross-play. Multiplayer has three modes: The Eliminator, Hide & Seek and the new Spec Racing, which is racing on stock cars where pure skill wins. Joint events are also available: Time Attack, Drag Meets and Car Meets.

Localization: the interface and subtitles are officially translated into Russian. There is no full voice-over from Microsoft, so the original audio is used with Russian subtitles. Critics rated the game 92/100 on Metacritic (65 reviews), but user reviews on Steam at launch are Mixed (~62% positive) because of technical problems (frame rate drops, server overload in the first days) and a wave of negative ratings. Patches are being released and the situation is stabilizing.
