With only a few days to go, it's high time we familiarise ourselves with Forza Horizon 6's graphics and performance modes for Xbox X and Xbox S.
It all comes down to framerate vs visuals, with these being confirmed details from Playground Games regarding performance and quality. But will the numbers showcase any performance gap between the two consoles?
Let's find out how different your experiences might be while playing Forza Horizon 6 on Xbox X and on Xbox S.
Forza Horizon 6 Graphics and Performance Modes for Xbox X
Performance
On Xbox X, Forza Horizon 6 is set to support native 4k at 30 FPS (frames per second) in Quality Mode. And in Performance Mode, it remains at 4k with dynamic resolution scaling up to 60 FPS.
If you're a seasoned arcade racer, 60 FPS would be preferred for a game as fast-paced as the Forza Horizon 6 series. Since Forza Horizon games prioritise speed, quick responsiveness, and framerate, this seems the ideal FPS to race through open worlds.
Graphics and Visuals
Outside of races, the visuals are equally vital. Visual factors are still a priority, especially with 4k at 30 FPS minimum, everything is set to look stunning on your Xbox X.
Moreover, this works wonders, given FH6 takes place in the most picturesque parts of Japan, with a vast emphasis on dynamic weather, lighting, and primarily urban settings.
Forza Horizon 6 Graphics and Performance Modes for Xbox Series S
Performance
As for Forza Horizon 6 on Xbox Series S, there is a noticeable cutback. Quality Mode will operate at 1440p and 30 FPS, while the Performance Mode will target 1080p at 60 FPS.
Furthermore, both versions will utilise dynamic resolution to maintain smooth performance.
Graphics and Visuals
The graphics in Forza Horizon 6 for Xbox Series S, on the other hand, are on par with players' expectations. This means Playground Games is fortunately focusing on stable performance without cutting back on visual aesthetics.
Get ready for the official Forza Horizon 6 release on May 19, 2026. If you buy the Premium Edition or the Premium Add-on Bundle, you get four days of early access!
