There is a special kind of excitement that comes from discovering a new open world behind the wheel. Every road feels like an invitation, every skyline hints at another route to uncover and every car in your garage opens up a new way to explore.
That spirit sits right at the heart of Forza Horizon 6, which takes the Horizon Festival to one of the most requested destinations in the series’ history. Japan is the setting for the next chapter, bringing the Horizon Festival to its most ambitious and spectacular destination yet. With day one access available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, players can jump into the festival as soon as the engines start.
Welcome to Horizon’s most ambitious setting yet
The Horizon series has always celebrated driving as an adventure, but this new location takes that idea further than ever before. The game introduces the most vertical and densely detailed world in Horizon history, anchored by the franchise’s largest urban area to date, Tokyo City.
Picturesque highways stretch between towering skyscrapers and classic laneways that reward precision driving and late night cruising. Beyond the skyline, the landscape opens into scenic rural roads and sweeping mountain routes designed for long drives and constant discovery. The world is built to reward curiosity and encourage players to choose a direction and see where the road leads.
Build your dream garage and your festival life
Car culture has always been the heart of Horizon, and this entry expands that fantasy with more than 550 real-world cars to collect, customise and master. Every new vehicle adds another layer to the way you experience the world and shape your journey.
The gameplay extends beyond racing into the wider lifestyle surrounding the cars you love. Players can build homes, customise their garages, meet up with friends at Car Meets and build in the world together through Horizon CoLab. The result is an experience that feels as much about the journey as the finish line.
As you take on events across the map, every race becomes a chance to refine your driving skills and carve your path toward Horizon legend status.
A world designed for shared driving
Horizon has always balanced solo exploration with shared experiences, and the Japan setting feels perfectly suited to both. Spontaneous races through city streets sit alongside relaxed group cruises across scenic routes. Every drive can become a social moment and every road has the potential to create a new memory.
It captures the Horizon Festival at full scale, a celebration of speed, style and shared driving adventures that feels bigger and more connected than ever before.
