Forza Horizon 6 Reveals Multiplayer Game Modes and Content

Horizon Play! is the multiplayer suite coming inside of Forza Horizon 6, with Playground Games fully revealing all the content and modes that players can expect to see at launch. As Forza Horizon 6 continues to approach its May 19 launch date, developer Playground Games continues to peel back the layers of the game, slowly revealing new features and content that fans will be able to interact with while driving through the landscapes of Japan.

Fans have known since the debut trailer, and perhaps even longer thanks to numerous leaks, that Forza Horizon 6 would be heading to Japan. Earlier in the year, Playground Games teased various biomes of Japan in short videos, highlighting the coastline, alpine regions, lowlands, and more. While just a tease of things to come, last month, Playground finally revealed the full game map and roads, stretching across a huge amount of space and diverse biomes from the neon-soaked streets of Tokyo to the winding roads deep in the forests, there appears to be a little something for everyone. The same can be said for the multiplayer side to the game, which has just been fully revealed.

Forza Horizon 6 Reveals Horizon Play Multiplayer Suite

The latest news for Forza Horizon 6 related to its multiplayer offerings, a suite of content known as Horizon Play! Multiplayer has become a standard of previous Horizon games, and it seems Playground is making sure that the latest game in the series checks all those boxes on day 1. In a new post on social media, Playground Games revealed what appears to be the in-game menu for Horizon Play, the game’s multiplayer feature. Players can see things like the XP bar for level progression, the account’s current level and rank, as well as a variety of available game modes, with teases for even more hidden below the scroll bar.

Alongside custom options, Horizon Play includes a mix of new and returning modes. In fact, previous post-launch additions like Hide & Seek in Forza Horizon 5 are now available at launch. There are classic modes like Horizon Racing and The Eliminator, a popular battle royale-style mode which has players racing from Point A to Point B in a section of the game’s map using different upgraded cars as the losing racers being eliminated.

However, there are also a slew of new game modes in Forza Horizon 6, including Spec Racing and Touge Showdown. The former is described as a mode that includes dirt and road racing, though the catch is that all players use the same car to level the playing field. As for Touge Showdown, it’s a 1v1 mode that rotates around five different preset mountain routes and seems to be based on the single-player versions.

While Microsoft may be changing the way it handles first-party exclusives and their availability on rival platforms like PlayStation, Forza Horizon 6 remains a multiplatform title. It makes sense considering how well Forza Horizon 5 has sold on the PlayStation 5, so Microsoft wouldn’t want to lose that revenue stream. However, it seems that Forza Horizon 6 is skipping the PS5 at launch, following the steps of its predecessor in that it’s launching on PC and Xbox Series X/S on May 19, but PS5 fans will have to wait a bit longer for the racing title to hit their system of choice.
