Forza Horizon 6 Early Access Tops Staff Weekend Picks

Forza Horizon 6 entered early access this week. Staff writers Ben Kerry and Fraser Gilbert plan to spend the weekend driving through the game’s Tokyo setting and report that the title has dominated their playtime since access began.

Ben Kerry wrote that he spent much of his earlier playtime completing the main campaign during the review period and now intends to “simply cruise around and soak up the sights.” He called the experience “proper comfort food gaming” and added, “I’m not leaving the streets of Tokyo for some time yet.”

Fraser Gilbert noted the game has taken up most of his time on both an Xbox Series X and an ROG Xbox Ally X. He reported that Forza Horizon 6 is the first Horizon title in years that made him want to finish as many tasks as possible.

Forza Horizon 6, developed by Playground Games, places players in an open-world version of Japan and is available in early access. Both writers had access during the review build; Kerry focused on core campaign content before moving to casual exploration, while Gilbert continued to work through events and challenges across multiple devices.

Gilbert said he might try the game Mixtape if he finds time after playing Horizon 6. Both writers invited readers to share their weekend gaming plans in the comments, continuing a weekend tradition among staff writers.
