As someone who's spent hundreds of hours in open-world racers, I can tell you that Forza Horizon 6 is shaping up to be one of the most player-friendly entries in the series yet. Beyond the stunning visuals and exhilarating races in Japan, the game gives you more control over how you experience the Horizon world.

Make The Whole World Yours

Your journey will see you purchase gorgeous homes in Japan, each with customizable garages – allowing you to create the ideal spaces to showcase your car collection, or you can download layouts shared online by the community. Unlock the Estate, a mountain valley where you can build freely in the open world, creating anything you can imagine. And for your favorite cars, those can be upgraded with body kits and new Forza Aero options, as well as the ability to paint custom liveries on windows.

1. AutoDrive: Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride

One of the coolest new features in Forza Horizon 6 is AutoDrive. Using ANNA, the game's AI assistant, you can set a route and let the car drive itself. Here's how it works:

• Pause the game and open the map.
• Set a waypoint to wherever you want to go.
• Use ANNA via the d-pad to start AutoDrive.

From here, you can relax, enjoy the scenery, or just take a break while cruising through Japan's breathtaking landscapes. It's perfect for exploring without worrying about traffic, tight corners, or that annoying AI collision.

2. Proximity Radar: Keep Your Racing Clean

Racing at high speeds can be chaotic, especially in cockpit or hood camera views. Proximity Radar is here to help:

• It shows cars in your blind spots.
• You can place it anywhere on the HUD.
• Audio cues can alert you to nearby cars.

This feature is a lifesaver for avoiding accidents, keeping races clean, and saving those hard-earned Forza 6 Credits from unnecessary crashes. No more losing credits because someone bumped you out of first place—it's all about precision and awareness.

3. High Contrast Mode: See the World Clearly

The biggest accessibility upgrade in Forza Horizon 6 is High Contrast Mode. If you've ever struggled to pick out objects in busy environments, this mode is a game-changer:

• Simplifies the screen for easier visibility.
• Lets you distinguish important objects instantly.
• Fully customizable, so you can adjust it to your liking.

Exploring Japan's open world becomes easier and more enjoyable, whether you're racing or just cruising.

4. Classic Accessibility Options You'll Love

Forza Horizon has always cared about accessibility, and FH6 keeps the favorites while improving them:

• Full controller remapping on all platforms.
• Screen reading narration and subtitles.
• Adjustable camera field-of-view on PC.
• Color-blind filters.
• Offline Game Speed modification.
• Full set of difficulty settings and driving assists.

These options make sure everyone can play the game their way, whether you're a casual driver or a hardcore racer.

5. ASL and BSL for Cinematics: Inclusivity in Storytelling

Post-launch, Forza Horizon 6 will introduce American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) for cinematics.

• Cinematics will feature a picture-in-picture interpreter.
• You can choose where the interpreter appears on screen.

This is an incredible addition for players who are deaf or hard of hearing, letting them experience the story without missing any of the dialogue or dramatic moments.

6. Making Horizon Your Own

Whether it's using AutoDrive to explore, customizing High Contrast Mode for your vision, or adjusting the HUD with Proximity Radar, Forza Horizon 6 is all about giving you control. It's not just about racing—it's about playing the game the way you want, seeing the world clearly, and enjoying Japan at your pace.
