Forza Horizon 6 Hands-On Preview

Gamertag Radio delivers an enthusiastic hands-on preview of Forza Horizon 6, highlighting the game's stunning visual design and immersive depiction of Japan as the new open-world setting. The hosts, playing on Xbox Series X and Series S, praise the game's quality mode (4K, 30fps) and express excitement for the upcoming performance mode and PC support. Despite being a preview build with locked content—limited cars, tuning, music, and some areas—both hosts are impressed by the expansive map, dynamic day-night and weather cycles, and the return of beloved activities like drifting, billboard destruction, and Drivatar-driven multiplayer. One host, who has lived in Japan, validates the authenticity of the countryside landscapes, adding cultural credibility to the game’s design. The team emphasizes that while this isn’t a full review, the preview strongly suggests Forza Horizon 6 will be a major title, potentially surpassing the already acclaimed Horizon 5. They also express anticipation for new features like co-op garage building, enhanced Drivatar AI, and a culturally rich soundtrack that celebrates Japanese heritage.
