Every one of Forza Horizon 6’s 550+ vehicles is getting a massive upgrade courtesy of refraction-based shaders on their car lights. Then there’s the fact that window decals, at long last, are happening with options to wrap them around your entire car. However, for those keen on even more customization, Playground Games has outlined several other improvements.
“When you choose a color, you can easily switch between gloss, semi-gloss, matte, and metallic finishes. You can also mark colors and materials as favorites for quick access, such as the new metal flake and candy paint options. In addition, you can paint elements of the Forza Aero Bumpers and Forza Aero Rear Wings independently. This includes the material and supports on the wing, and the tow hook on the bumpers.”
The customization goes beyond cosmetics, however. If you want to swap in motorcycle engines for Kei vehicles (which ordinarily possess 660cc engines), go ahead. Over 100 new rims are available, with options for different types on the front and rear, never mind all the new tire patterns.
And while Barn Finds returns, you can discover Aftermarket Cars throughout Japan, either near Time Attack Circuits (with the accompanying modifications) or near a Horizon Festival site. Described as “extremely rare” with unique models, they include the 2003 Honda S2000 with Rocket Bunny body kit, the 1993 Autozam AZ-1 (kitted out with Mazdaspeed parts) and the Duke Dynamics-modified 2015 McLaren 570S Coupe.
But that’s not all, as there are also Treasure Cars. Armed with nothing but a photograph, you’ll need to use it as a reference for their locations, after which it can be restored. Of course, you can also drive it right, and with discoveries like the 1991 Nissan Figaro, the 1985 Nissan Safari Turbo and the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, that impatience may win out. Not that you can blame us, especially with how slick and detailed the world is (Tokyo is its own biome, if you haven’t heard).
Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PC. It’s coming to PS5 later this year, courtesy of Turn 10 Studios.
