Forza Horizon 6 Turns Japan Into an Open-World Road Trip

The Verge’s Andrew Webster argues that Forza Horizon 6 isn’t just about racing; it’s a Japan-inspired open-world road trip where exploration, Discover Japan tasks, and hidden-car quests drive progression, making the journey more compelling than the battles on the track. The game offers a diverse map from Tokyo to Mount Fuji, two progression tracks (Horizon Festival and Discover Japan), and rewards for exploration, with cinematic big races and even a mech race adding flair. It launches May 19 on Xbox and PC, with a PS5 version planned for later in 2026.

Forza Horizon 6 Unveils a Sprawling Japanese Map Headlined by a Coastal Tokyo Hub

Forza Horizon 6’s full map has been shown, introducing a large southern coastal Japan map anchored by Tokyo. The layout includes perma-snow in the far north, dramatic switchback mountain passes, a meteor-crater-like estate valley, and lakes, offering a non-rectangular, varied landscape bigger and more detailed than Horizon 4’s Edinburgh and Horizon 5’s Guanajuato. Some players hoped Tokyo would dominate the map, but the city is portrayed as a hub rather than a sprawling metropolis. Release is set for May 19, with early comparisons and discussions already underway on social platforms.

F1's 2026 Shake-Up: Ferrari Bets Big As Regs Redefine The Season

Defector’s six-story 2026 preview centers on a sweeping regulations overhaul—active aerodynamics, new power units without an MGU-H, and a heavier emphasis on energy management and a five-second pre-start—creating a season where strategy and driver micromanagement may trump raw speed; Cadillac debuts with Checo Pérez and Valtteri Bottas, Aston Martin battles a reliability crisis, rookies have grown into potential threats, and Ferrari looks strongest in testing, setting them up as favorites though Mercedes, McLaren, and Red Bull remain threats and the winner remains uncertain.

Brian Johnson's Wild Ride: A Rock Star's World-Class Car Collection

AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson treats cars as more than a hobby, actively driving and racing a high-octane collection that features a 1928 Bentley Thunder Guts, a rare 1965 Lola T70 Mk I “Widow Maker,” a 2007 Rolls-Royce Phantom daily driver, a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Royale RP4, a Lotus Cortina Mk1, a 1980 Chevrolet Blazer, and a 1957 Vespa 400. Several of these cars regularly hit the track at events like Rolex 24, Silverstone Classic, and Goodwood, with Johnson even using the Vespa as a pit vehicle. His life in cars mirrors his on-stage persona, and his autobiography centers as much on driving and racing as it does on rock stardom.
