Just ahead of the start of its second season of online races, Playground Games has released a new update for Forza Horizon 6. The update mainly addresses bugs and makes the game run smoother, while also improving how challenging the AI opponents are and fixing problems with the Horizon Play feature.
This update improves the Roads Driven challenges by clearly showing players how many roads they’ve found in each region. We’ve also fixed a bug where the number of discovered roads didn’t match between the mini-map and the world map.
We’ve updated how Drag Tires work in the game. Previously, while they improved handling, they actually lowered a vehicle’s overall performance rating, which wasn’t what we intended. Now, Drag Tires will only provide their full benefits during drag races, making them less ideal for other types of driving.
We’ve kept the price of Drag Tires the same, but reduced how well they handle when cornering. We’re also working on fixing the Leaderboards, which were previously filled with players unfairly using Drag Tires in races other than drag racing. Playground Games clarified that this change only impacts cornering – drag racing times and Leaderboards won’t be affected.
You can play Forza Horizon 6 on PC and Xbox Series X/S now. The developers have also announced that a version for PlayStation 5 is coming out later this year. If you’re interested, you can read our review of the game and learn more about why it’s become bigger than just being available on Game Pass.
