Following a nearly five-year hiatus between titles, Forza Horizon 6 debuted this week. And while fans are diving into its open-world take on Japan, some have already discovered a sound effect in Forza Horizon 6 that may trigger anyone who has ever had to work in an office setting.
As noted by a player on social media, one of the car horn sounds in Forza Horizon 6 is the Microsoft Teams calling noise–a joke made possible by the fact that the Forza games are published by Microsoft. The sound effect was also in Forza Horizon 5, but it still inspires negative reactions from players who would rather forget about anything work-related when playing the game.

i loved using it in FH5 just because it was still during the pandemic. i terrorized so many people with it, watching them physically react in the middle of races so i could pass them. shit was INCREDIBLE

At the very least, Forza Horizon 6 has fixed one of the most annoying aspects of its predecessors. Players no longer have to painstakingly explore every section of a road to get credit towards exploring 100% of the map. Now, players can get the Trophy or Achievement simply by revealing the entire map.
Despite currently being in early access, Forza Horizon 6 set a franchise record for concurrent players on Steam with 172,093 players on its first day, May 15. Now that the game has officially launched on PC and Xbox Series X|S, it has already reached a new peak on Steam, with 273,148 players.
If you’re a PlayStation 5 player, you’re going to have to wait to join in on the fun. Forza Horizon 6 won’t arrive on PS5 until later this year. In the meantime, they can check out GameSpot’s Forza Horizon 6 review, which awarded the sequel an 8/10.
