IGN First Debuts Extended Forza Horizon 6 Gameplay, Showcasing Japan and Raising Liveliness Questions

The nine-minute scenic clip prioritizes sightseeing over events, leaving reviewers eager for fuller gameplay.

Overview

  • - IGN First published roughly nine minutes of uncut Forza Horizon 6 footage that cruises across Japan, including a tour through parts of Tokyo.
  • - Outlets praised the visual fidelity, varied biomes, and a denser, more vertical city layout than past entries.
  • - Critics noted very light traffic, no pedestrians, and no races or progression on display, describing the slice as tame.
  • - IGN said Playground Games intentionally reduced traffic for this video to highlight scenery, and one outlet observed the clip running at 30 FPS with heavy motion blur.
  • - The game is slated for May 19 on Xbox Series X/S and PC with Game Pass, a PS5 version arrives later in 2026, the footage used a Saleen S7 as the Toyota GR GT cover car is not yet cleared, and Horizon/Forza Edition cars are confirmed to return with upgrades.
