The Forza Horizon Series, popular for blending arcade-style accessibility with deep car culture, has long been a benchmark for open-world racing. Even while Forza Horizon 5's sun-drenched Mexican highways were a hit among players, there is a growing sense in the community that the franchise needs fresh ideas to keep things enjoyable.
Here are five features players want to see in Forza Horizon 6, which range from progression to customization.
What do Fans want to see in Forza Horizon 6?
As with every new franchise installment of the Forza Horizon series, there are a lot of things fans want to see added. There are a few features that fans have been asking for a long time, others that started being requested once the leaks about the Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting began, and some old features that fans would love to see return.
But from all the Forza Horizon community requests, there are five that stand out and that would be a fantastic addition to the racing simulator. Without further ado, here are the top five things fans want in Forza Horizon 6:
Deeper Customization Options
Having more control over the appearance and feel of cars is one of the most consistent requests from the community. Fans want to go beyond paint jobs and body kits and want interior customization, such as seat colors, dashboard finishes, and even functional options like rolling down windows and removing spoilers.
A revamped Forza Aero kit, along with more detailed exhaust and wheel options, would further enhance personalization.
A Meaningful Campaign and Progression System
Many fans believed that Forza Horizon 5 lacked a distinct plot or progression, with supercars being handed out too early and little incentive to grind through career goals.
Players are hoping that the upcoming Forza Horizon 6 will bring back structured storytelling with better-written Horizon Stories, cinematic cutscenes, and a progression system that rewards time invested rather than overloading players with cars up front. Players are expecting the upcoming version to restore the organised storytelling of Horizon 2.
A Tokyo Drift-Inspired Car Lineup and Setting
Another wanted addition from the community is a setting that celebrates street racing culture. Fans would have the ideal setting for drift racing on a map modeled after Tokyo, complete with tight city streets, mountain passes, and neon-lit districts, offering fans the perfect stage for drift racing.
When combined with a selection of classic drift cars and more focus on street racing, this will definitely bring a fresh energy that the series hasn't seen since its earliest entries. It would also let many fans live their Tokyo Drift fantasies, just like Sean Boswell did in The Fast and the Furious
Better Online and Community Features
Features like Car Clubs, Rivals, and Blueprints have helped players previously foster community interactions, and now these features are again requested. This is one example of a feature that was previously in the game, suffered massive changes, and that fans want desperately to come back to its original state.
Many also want less emphasis on "FOMO" (fear of missing out) content, with event cars eventually becoming available to everyone. Improved management, the ability to display cars in owned houses, and a simpler multiplayer lobby would also enhance social play.
Technical and Gameplay Improvements
Lastly, improvements under the hood are something every Forza Horizon fan wants. This includes better car sounds, cockpit customization, and more realistic handling options, possibly the ones that are closer to Forza Motorsport.
A cleaner user experience and fewer repetitive post-race screens would go a long way. Additionally, features like gas stations, cruise control, and realistic fuel usage are also requested, as these add more immersion.
