Xbox’s new era needs games like Forza Horizon 6

Microsoft’s gaming division is under new management and intends a renewed commitment to Xbox.

Forza Horizon 6 is an open-world racing game that launches next month.

The game is set in Japan on a huge, varied map—from Tokyo skyscrapers to countryside.

Gameplay centers on driving with events like races, drifting, off-road beach courses and rain-slick street races.

There’s a light story about rising to the Horizon festival; a preview only drove a handful of cars, including a Toyota Celica.
