Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[GTboyz]

Kind of the obvious choice, people have been asking for it for years. Let's hope they upgraded the engine to support city environments and it's not just Fujimi Kaido times 10.

Hope they also support expressways and parking areas for convoys.

 

[THOMASBARNES]

it'd be a surprise/disappointment if it didn't come out on ps5, the main question is will it come out on xbox/ps5 at the same time or will xbox get it first and ps5 players have to wait a few months

What was that engine that revved from 0:45-0:47?

sounded like an A80 maybe

Horizon was always revealed a few months before launch, (spring/summer for autumn/winter release) so hopefully it'll be a bit earlier in the year this time. I'm not sure I have the patience for a full year of monthly updates about a specific feature that was built from the ground up like Motorsport did.

EDIT:
There's a page up.

"As you already know, Japan has been one of the most iconic and requested locations by the Forza Horizon community. We are so excited for you to experience it, and we can't wait to share more details on Forza Horizon 6 early next year. Stay tuned!"

Great...

Forza Horizon 6: Answering the Big Questions About That Japan Setting - Xbox Wire

Forza Horizon 6 is coming in 2026 - and it's set in Japan. We got the answers to some of our biggest questions after the reveal.

Important bits:

Tokyo as the main city:

"for instance, the Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels DLC has helped us develop the elevated roads of Tokyo City in FH6."

"From the neon lights and towering buildings of Tokyo City – one of our most detailed and layered environments to date – to the serenity and natural beauty of Japan’s rural and mountain areas"

Real seasons are back:

"For Japan, seasonal changes have a dramatic impact on the landscape and playable world, but also hold a deeper cultural meaning for the country and its culture.”

As such, in Forza Horizon 6, seasonal changes aren’t just about changing how the game looks, but how it feels:

“The team has also been able to build a system where seasonal changes truly inform the world – how spring, summer, autumn, and winter subtly shift tone, activity, and sound"

We all have this thread followed, so we all jumped in here rather than searching for a new thread. </guilty>

PS5 release is confirmed, but it won't be a day one release.

The drone is great for locating barn finds.
