While saying that a map is Playground Games’ “biggest yet” sounds good in interviews, seeing it first-hand really puts things in perspective. As such, the full map of Forza Horizon 6 has been revealed, from the snow-covered Alps in the north to the bustling Tokyo City to the south. But it’s everything in between that’s so intriguing.
For instance, the mountain passes where the new Togue Battles take place. You’ll venture across Mt. Haruna and Bandai Azuma, navigating perilous turns and perfecting those drifts. If you look closely enough, one route leads to an area surrounded by mountains, which should be utterly gorgeous.
Then there are routes like C1 Inner Circular Route, an expressway loop that measures 14.8 kilometers – ideal for street racing at night. Ginkgo Avenue isn’t nearly as long, but the 300-meter-long road offers over 140 ginkgo trees to admire. It’s one of many things that encourages players to slow down and really discover Japan when they’re not gunning for the top.
Of course, the fact that Playground Games refers to it as “our most dense and vertical map yet” is also notable. If you’re someone looking for a new open world to sink dozens of hours into, that may be music to your ears.
Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19th for Xbox Series X/S and PC, with Premium Edition owners receiving access on May 15th. It will also be available on PS5 later this year.
