Playground Games has revealed more Forza Horizon 6 information, pretending that we need more info to make a purchasing decision!

Festival Music

Forza Horizon 6 will feature nine playlists packed with plenty of tracks, five of which have been linked to Spotify playlists with more track lists being revealed in the days to come:

• Horizon Pulse
• Horizon Bass Arena
• Horizon Block Party
• Horizon XS
• Hospital Records
• Gacha City Radio
• Sub Pop Records
• Horizon Wave
• Horizon Opus

With Forza Horizon 6, it should be no surprise that iconic J-pop songs are debuting at the Horizon Festival for the first time, and these are combined with our unique flavour of electronic anthems, energising drum & bass, feel-good electropop, heavy-hitting rock, alternative indie, hip-hop beats, nostalgic synthwave, and modern classical.

Accessibility 

Horizon 6 is packed full of accessibility features and customisation options which is always awesome to see.

• AutoDrive

AutoDrive can be accessed with ANNA by using the d-pad while you’re exploring Japan. Pause the game, open the map, set a waypoint to your preferred location, and use ANNA to initiate AutoDrive. Then you can sit back, relax and take in the breathtaking sights of Japan.

• Proximity Radar

 Proximity Radar helps identify cars in your blind spots, making it easier to avoid unintentional collisions and keep the racing clean, especially when using cockpit, hood, or bumper cameras. You can choose which HUD location works best for you, and you can even enable audio cues.

• High Contrast Mode

High Contrast Mode simplifies the screen to make it easier for players to distinguish important objects. It’s fully customizable, allowing players to calibrate the experience in a way that works best for them.

Playground also highlight returning features:

Other accessibility options returning to Forza Horizon 6 include full controller remapping functionality on all platforms, screen reading narration, subtitles, adjustable camera field-of-view options on PC, color-blind filters, Offline Game Speed modification, and our full set of difficulty settings and driving assists.

Lastly, post launch, cut scenes will get (American) ASL & BSL support:

In a post-launch update, players will be able to enable American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) for cinematics which will feature picture-in-picture display of an ASL or BSL interpreter during cinematic game scenes, with the ability to change where the interpreter appears on screen.

I hope we see Sign Language support spread to more games and languages.

Forza Horizon 6 is launching May 19th and May 15th for the Premium edition. Not long to go!
