With Forza Horizon 6, Playground Games has finally given many fans of the series what they've been asking for. This latest high-speed playground is the series' largest, featuring a metropolitan area several times larger than any that has become before, as well as a diverse selection of Japan's most eye-catching and picturesque landscape for you to soak in as you explore its hundreds of streets. Nailing down the exact size of Forza Horizon 6's map is tricky, but several keen-eyed fans have made some good approximations. Driving from one of the map's most southern points all the way to its most northern is around 21 miles long, which is longer than a similar comparison to Forza Horizon 5's approximately 10-mile-long stretch between its most eastern and western points. It took me around 12 minutes and 30 seconds to drive this route, in one of Forza Horizon 6's fastest Toyota Supra variants, just to give you a rough idea of what to expect. Given how each map is laid out differently in each direction, it's hard to get an exact area figure for comparison, but this difference in distance suggests Forza Horizon 6 is considerably larger. That's true too when comparing its Goliath race distance. These are grueling endurance races where a single lap spans the entire perimeter of the map, giving a good estimation of overall size. Forza Horizon 6's Goliath race features a lap distance of around 50 miles, considerably larger than the 29-mile lap in Forza Horizon 5. Again, this isn't an exact comparison given different road layouts, but it's quite clear that Playground Games has expanded these Japanese regions in as many directions as possible. Like previous titles, Forza Horizon 6's map draws from several inspirations and amalgamates them into a single, cohesive space, deftly letting you move from the bustling streets of Tokyo City to the serene, snow-capped tips of the Japanese Alps. Japan has a rich automotive history and its distinctive car culture has seeped into all forms of entertainment, with Playground Games drawing from as many of these sources in key locations around the map. Here are just a few that you shouldn't miss on your journey through Japan. With Forza Horizon 6, Playground Games has finally given many fans of the series what they've been asking for.

Tokyo City It would be impossible to have a Forza Horizon set in Japan without representing the neon lights of Tokyo City in a big way. And Playground Games has delivered; the metropolitan is the largest urban area in the series by a wide margin, featuring some of the city's most distinctive features while transforming it into an asphalt playground that is actually fun to drive through. While widening the roads might divorce it slightly from the real thing, it'll be easy to forget when you're whizzing past landmarks like Shibuya Crossing, the tree-laden Ginkgo Avenue (which is likely to look stunning in Autumn), an
