To coincide with the release of Forza Horizon 6 previews, Microsoft and Playground Games have published a video showcasing the game’s opening. This “prologue” features the first six minutes of gameplay in Japan, displaying cherry blossoms, snowy tracks in northern Japan, urban environments, and a rocket launch. Players can initiate time trial circuits directly from the map, bypassing event menus. Aftermarket cars are often available at discounted prices, complete with pre-installed performance or cosmetic upgrades. Furthermore, players can customize Mei’s garage with furniture, decorations, and mechanics’ gear and can also own and customize The Estate, planning roads and adding buildings. Forza Horizon 6 is scheduled for release on May 19, 2026, for Windows PC and Xbox Series X via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, with a PlayStation 5 version to follow. The game evokes a Japanese atmosphere through its visuals and sound. For example, the video features the 2024 Nissan GT-R Nismo, a buggy, and a 1995 Porsche 911 GT2. The soundtrack features lesser-known artists, complementing the setting. The demo version includes a tuned B-class Autozam AZ1 hidden beneath the Tokyo Expressway, and players can find a Mazda RX-7 racing through Tokyo streets at night.
