Forza Horizon 6 Makes Cherry Blossoms Unbreakable Because “They’re An Iconic Element Of Japanese Culture”

Forza Horizon 6 will keep cherry blossom trees indestructible in its Japan setting.

Playground Games also left out some temples and shrines from destruction to respect cultural landmarks.

The choice reflects a careful balance between open-world gameplay and sensitivity to real-world Japanese culture.

The decision highlights how game studios navigate player-driven destruction when recreating real locations.
