Getting Started
Welcome to Forza Horizon 6! Whether you're on PC or Xbox Series S/X, your journey into the stunning world of Japan begins with a few key steps. Upon launching the game for the first time, you'll be guided through an initial setup process. This includes setting up your display preferences, audio settings, and controller configurations. We highly recommend taking a moment to optimize these settings to ensure the best possible visual fidelity and responsive controls for your hardware. For PC players, ensure your system meets the recommended specifications to fully appreciate the game's graphical prowess. Xbox players will find the installation process straightforward, whether you have a digital or physical copy. Once you're in, you'll likely be introduced to the Horizon Festival and its core activities through a series of introductory races and tutorials. These early events are designed to familiarize you with the driving mechanics, the diverse environments of Japan, and the fundamental gameplay loops. Don't feel pressured to master everything immediately; the game is designed for exploration and enjoyment. As you progress through these initial stages, you'll start to unlock access to more of the game's features, including the vast car list – over 550 vehicles are available at launch! You'll also begin earning in-game currency, which is crucial for purchasing new cars and upgrades. Pay attention to the on-screen prompts and the mini-map, as they will guide you towards key objectives and points of interest.
