Forza Horizon 6 Releases Zoomed Out Image of Full Japan Map — and Fans Are Trying to Work Out Just How Big It Is

As players start revving up for Forza Horizon 6 next month, developer Playground Games has shared our best look yet at its full Japanese map.

Forza Horizon 6 takes the Horizon Festival to "scenic and breathtaking" Japan from May 19 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. While we've seen plenty of snippets of the game and a handful of the 550 real-world cars you'll be using, this is the first time Playground has shared the full map, showing how we'll shift gears from the urban city sprawl out into the lush green countryside.

"This is Horizon Japan! From the iconic downtown streets of Tokyo City all the way to the snowy Japanese Alps, Forza Horizon 6 introduces our most dense and vertical map yet," the team teased on social media alongside a distant but detailed map of the upcoming racing game.

Fans have, of course, been busy zooming in to get a feel for the circuit, pointing out "fun" but devilishly difficult areas, with some expressing that it seems a little "small," particularly the city itself. That said, we don't have any kind of scale here, so it's impossible to know exactly how it'll size up to its predecessors.

Some fans are reminding people that Tokyo is supposed to be "four times the size of the city in Horizon 5," and another helpfully superimposed Forza Horizon 5's map over the new one, using the airports' runways to guesstimate the positioning and give us a better sense of size and scale.
