Despite offering no innovation whatsoever, Forza Horizon 6 still reigns supreme over every arcade racer out there. Nothing comes close to the feeling of taming a ferocious yellow Porsche 911 Turbo at 200 kilometers per hour beneath a canopy of pink cherry blossom trees.

Forza Horizon 6 is the new pinnacle of the open-world racing genre, featuring a captivating Tokyo map, the much-missed festival spirit, and road designs that elevate the driving experience to new heights. Although its structure, which rewards the player very quickly, slightly dampens the “climbing from the bottom” feeling, its immense atmosphere, revamped engine sounds, and flawless optimization make it an undisputed masterpiece for racing enthusiasts.

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.
Forza Horizon 6 effortlessly lives up to all expectations. If you enjoyed the previous instalments, you’re sure to have a blast tearing through Tokyo and the surrounding area. The city looks breathtaking and there’s more than enough to discover. The cars look even better than before and handle brilliantly once again. With Forza Horizon 6, you’re once again getting a fantastic playground to lose yourself in for hours on end. An absolute must-have!

Forza Horizon 6 is the best and most familiar the series has ever been. The festival’s arrival in Japan is a feast for the eyes, running incredibly well on every type of hardware I tried it on. Despite some issues with the ending grind, if you have ever enjoyed the series or thought about trying it, Forza Horizon 6 is an incredibly fun time.
Out of all the gorgeous places this series has taken us, Japan was always a frequent request across social media, and now that wish has come true. On top of that, the gameplay is divine, and the content that the game has now, and perhaps what’s to come, might just keep us entertained until the arrival of the next entry and beyond, wherever that may take us. We may only be in April, but I’d be surprised if anything pips Forza Horizon 6 as the best racing game of 2026.
Forza Horizon 6 makes Japan feel like the perfect playground for the series. The racing is still as satisfying as ever, the map is beautiful, and I often found myself ignoring objectives just to keep driving. It’s familiar in structure, but once you’re on the road, that barely matters.
Forza Horizon 6 is a must-play for fans of arcade racing games; you’re guaranteed to find a S2-class game here that will undoubtedly deliver countless hours of thrilling racing fun.

Forza Horizon 6 is the most comprehensive installment in the series to date. It’s a wonderful evolution of the familiar formula, though unfortunately there are no groundbreaking innovations here. The crown of the king of racing games shows no sign of slipping from Forza’s head, but the competition is hot on its heels. If, with the release of the seventh installment, you continue to play it safe, avoid taking risks, and don’t try something new, then next time, mere evolution and refinement of existing formulas might not be enough. Nevertheless, my final assessment of Forza Horizon 6 hasn’t changed one bit. It’s not just an excellent racing game, but an excellent game period. Forza Horizon 6 is a masterpiece in the world of racing games.

All of that is minor in the grand scheme of Forza Horizon 6, which continues the series' dominance in this casual, arcade-esque style of racing. The tools are there if you want to perfectly tune every aspect of your vehicle, and the difficulty and realism can be bumped through the roof if you so choose. But if you're like me, the satisfaction of drifting around turns, speeding down highways, and barreling through a forest with no regard for anyone's safety comes from the approachability offered by the best Forza Horizon game yet.
Forza Horizon 6 doesn’t reinvent the formula, but refines it to near perfection. Set in a beautifully reimagined Japan, it delivers an incredibly rich and varied open-world racing experience, backed by polished simcade gameplay, deep customization, and seamless multiplayer integration. While the lack of major innovations and an overwhelming amount of content may hold it back slightly, it remains one of the finest entries in the genre.
