“Forza Horizon 6 delivered on its promises and more, transforming Japan from a mere destination on a wishlist map into a living open world that brings together the beauty of Japanese car culture and the largest map in Playground Games’ history. From nighttime Touge corners to the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, and engines whose sounds raise the bar for audio realism, this entry feels like the culmination of many years of development, offering an experience that places the series in one of its strongest eras.”

“Forza Horizon 6 remains an excellent racing game. It’s beautiful, smooth, accessible, and offers an impressive amount of content. In fact, the online modes are well-designed, and the new menu makes them much easier to access. However, the game also feels like it’s playing it too safe by relying heavily on the foundations laid by its predecessors. For a new player, it’s an ideal entry point into the franchise. For veterans, it’s a return to familiar territory, with a few interesting detours, but no real surprises.”

“Forza Horizon 6 is not only the best entry in the series, but one of the greatest arcade racers ever made. It captures the pure joy of driving in a way few games still do, in a genre that feels increasingly rare today. Its recreation of Japan is stunning and authentic, blending a vibrant open world with a deep respect for car culture. Add hundreds of hours of content, strong online play, and outstanding audiovisual presentation, and you get a game that simply feels complete.”

“There are plenty of enjoyable moments involving the character interactions or when the combat and exploration get into a good rhythm, but it never really takes that extra step needed to stick in the memory. Nonetheless, it’s an enjoyable enough way to spend the time, and there’s a strong base for IKINAGAMES to be able to build upon going forward.”

“Forza Horizon 6 is, quite simply, the biggest and most ambitious instalment in the series to date, and in my opinion, it recaptures the essence of the fourth game in the series. Its spectacular setting, a jaw-dropping range of cars and a technical standard that borders on photorealism also establish it as the graphical benchmark for the current generation of consoles”

“Forza Horizon 6 brilliantly capitalized on the allure of Japan as the game's driving force. However, the problem lies in the developer's reliance on the "magic of the setting" as a primary draw, missing golden opportunities to introduce fresh ideas that resonated with the culture.”

“Despite a couple of minor issues, Origament manages to be a perfect stress reliever. Its slow pace combined with very smooth controls and relaxing surroundings create a dreamlike experience. However, just as with dreams, the logic does not always make sense, which sadly translates into some very weird invisible walls and difficulty separating what is meant to be explored from what is not. All in all, it is a great game to play through in an otherwise stressful evening, or to just let one's child play as one of their first video game experiences.”

VamersMay 14, 2026Score 100Pre-release Review

“Forza Horizon 6 recaptures a sense of automotive culture the series was slowly beginning to lose over time. Cars no longer feel like disposable rewards handed out every few minutes. They now feel like machines worth learning, customising, and mastering. The underground tone, the emphasis on drifting and technical driving, and the more restrained structure all contribute toward making the experience feel more personal and memorable. It may not radically reinvent the Horizon formula, and some players will undoubtedly wish for more substantial innovation, but there is a strong argument to be made that Playground Games did not need to reinvent the formula at all. Instead, the studio refined nearly every major criticism levelled at previous entries while simultaneously delivering the most atmospheric setting the franchise has ever seen. Forza Horizon 6 is not simply another excellent arcade racer. It is the most complete expression of what the Horizon series has been building toward for more than a decade.”

“Forza Horizon 6 doesn’t hit the same turbocharged highs as its Mexico-set predecessor, trading some of the series’ wacky arcade chaos for a more grounded spin through Japan. Though when it lets loose with drift events, Horizon Rush and a soundtrack packed with EDM, J-pop and anime bangers, it genuinely rips.”
