The game has officially gone gold, which means it's all set for release, and we've got some juicy details about its performance on Xbox Series X and S.

Resolution and Frame Rate Breakdown
So, here's what we know:

Xbox Series X: We now know that Forza Horizon 6's Quality Mode will run at a native 4K resolution at 30FPS on Xbox Series X, or you can switch to Performance Mode at a target of 4K, but with dynamic scaling to ensure it always remains at 60FPS.

"On Xbox Series X, the Quality mode runs in native 4K resolution at 30fps with increased visual fidelity, while the Performance mode targets 4K resolution, scaling dynamically to maintain a smooth 60fps."

Xbox Series S: The Xbox Series S version of Forza Horizon 6 will also contain Quality and Performance modes, with Quality running at 1440p, 30FPS, and Performance at 1080p, 60FPS. Both of these will feature dynamic resolution scaling in order to retain the desired frame rates.

"Meanwhile, Xbox Series S players can enjoy Japan in 1440p at 30fps with Quality mode, and 1080p at 60fps in Performance mode – with both options dynamically scaling the output resolution to maintain their targeted framerate."

It's interesting to see how the developers have optimised the game for both consoles, ensuring that everyone can have fun regardless of which version they own.

Playground Games has unveiled the launch trailer.



The trailer features the atmospheric track "Enchanting Stranger" by Milk Talk, which we first heard during the Prologue gameplay reveal. The music perfectly complements the stunning visuals of the game, highlighting the breathtaking Japanese landscape that players will get to explore.

The trailer showcases a mix of thrilling drifts and high-speed racing, set against the backdrop of Japan's gorgeous scenery. Here are a few highlights:

• Diverse environments, from bustling city streets to serene countryside
• A variety of cars, including some fan-favourites and new additions
• Dynamic weather effects that change the racing experience

The attention to detail in both the cars and the environments is simply jaw-dropping. It looks like they've really gone all out to create a vibrant world that players can dive into.

Oh wow, have you had a chance to dive into Forza Horizon 6 yet?

Let's be honest, many of us expected this to be more of a rehash of FH5, but Playground Games has really upped its game. They've taken what we loved from the previous title and added layers of depth that make it feel fresh and exciting. It's not just the scenery that's stunning; the attention to detail in the cars and environments is impressive too.

Driving through the varied landscapes, from bustling cities to serene countryside, is nothing short of exhilarating. You can really lose track of time just exploring every nook and cranny, finding hidden gems along the way. The world feels so rich, and every corner you turn offers something new to discover.

Here are a few highlights that, in my opinion, make FH6 stand out:

• Enhanced graphics that truly capture the essence of Japan
• A wider variety of cars, catering to all kinds of players
• New gameplay mechanics that add to the fun and challenge
• Events and races that are more engaging than ever before

Played about 4 hours today, love it so far.

The map is class, online was good, really enjoyed that eliminator mode.

Definitely see myself progressing through the "Discover Japan" route over the "Horizon events" route, the map is so nice to drive around and explore.

Forza Horizon 6's first major expansion will arrive on January 21st, 2027, Playground Games has said.

The studio is calling it the "first Premium Expansion for Forza Horizon 6" for now. It will be automatically available to players who bought the racer's premium edition, premium upgrade or expansions bundle. Anyone without those versions will need to buy it separately.

No details have been given yet on the expansion's theme or content. Playground Games said more information will be shared "closer to availability".

The studio has also said a second expansion will follow at a later date.

Forza Horizon 6 has been receiving weekly updates and new cars since its release in May, with occasional seasonal additions to the open world. The first expansion is expected to give players a larger new addition to explore beyond the regular rotation of content.
