Forza Horizon 6 delivers exactly what it promises, but it doesn't really innovate on the franchise. This is basically comfort food gaming. It's fun and familiar, but it doesn't break new ground. If you're a fan of the franchise, you won't be disappointed. If you're new to racing games, Forza Horizon 6 is a fantastic entry point, but if you're on a budget, you may want to pick up a copy of Forza Horizon 5 instead, as it's often on sale.

Forza Horizon 6 is the biggest, most beautiful and most diverse instalment in the series yet, finally taking players to a dreamlike Japan. Playground Games hasn’t revolutionised the series, but it has once again delivered brilliant driving, a wealth of activities, over 550 cars and a world in which it’s easy to lose yourself for dozens of hours. It’s still classic Forza Horizon, but in such a spectacular, rich and polished form that fans of the series will be delighted.

As you'd expect, Forza Horizon 6 is the biggest and perhaps best entry in the series yet. Its recreation of Japan is absolutely brilliant too, with some truly scenic locations to visit and race across. It's just a shame that Playground Games plays it a little too safe, with this essentially feeling like Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Horizon 4 before it – but with a new map.

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.

Yes, the familiar formula at the heart of the game is still very much intact. At times, it even makes you think that you've played this before. But once you start speeding beneath Tokyo’s neon lights or weaving through the chaos of the Shuto Expressway, that feeling quickly fades away.

Fast, comprehensive and full of surprises, Forza Horizon 6 is the best open-world racing and free-roaming game in the current catalog.

Forza Horizon 6 does not reinvent Playground Games' formula, but it may be one of its happiest and most refined expressions. Its Japan is a stunning, emotionally charged driving fantasy, balancing spectacle, exploration and quiet moments of beauty with a clearer progression and a slightly deeper driving model. Tokyo can feel a bit too clean and artificial at times, but the game remains huge, generous, accessible and constantly joyful.

Forza Horizon 6 is a gorgeous open-world racer that absolutely sells the fantasy of driving through Japan, from winding mountain passes to neon-lit streets packed with cars worth obsessing over.

Forza Horizon 6 doesn’t just bring the series to Japan. It finally brings Horizon home after a journey that started in Colorado, and the result is one of the best racing games of all time.

Forza Horizon has been a beloved series for many years, and it’s also one of my personal favorites that has consistently stayed at the top. Especially if you enjoy racing games, this is definitely a game you shouldn’t miss. Because right now, it’s the most refined, most entertaining, and largest racing game you can find on the market. With its pure driving enjoyment, unique Japanese atmosphere, and seemingly endless pool of content, it stands as an undisputed leader.

This is still, by and large, the pinnacle of the racing genre, a game with a sheer ludicrous amount of content and quality. It is just a game released after the franchise had already peaked, so there’s no other direction but downwards for it. It could have done a bit more with its Japan-centered setting, and its progression system is starting to get a bit old at this point. With that being said, I’ve been playing it for nearly a hundred hours up to this point. There’s a lot to love in it. Looks great, sounds fantastic, controls like a dream. There’s still nothing like a Forza Horizon game. Even when it’s inferior to its predecessors, it’s still much better than its peers.

Forza Horizon 6 is the culmination of a formula and a studio that knew how to listen to its target audience in order to evolve. Although the franchise still carries the ghost of limited visual customization (often due to rigid licensing agreements) and occasional AI problems, the impeccable performance and lighting, with or without ray tracing, make this title a must-have work of art for any speed enthusiast.

Forza Horizon 6 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t have to. Playground Games knows what Horizon players enjoy about the game and continues to improve it in a fairly consistent way.

Forza Horizon 6 feels like a version of Forza Horizon that finally understands what it wants to be without trying to reinvent itself. It’s fast, polished, and consistently fun in a way that makes it easy to sink hours into without thinking too hard about it.
