Forza Horizon 6 kicks off with a staggering lineup of 24 BMW M cars, including an exclusive version of the new M2 tailored specifically for the game. The latest addition to the beloved open-world racing franchise, which first hit the scene back in 2012, shifts its focus to Japan in this installment, spanning across nine distinct geographical regions.

From the vibrant streets of Tokyo to the serene mountain passes, breathtaking coastal roads, picturesque rice paddies, historic temple grounds, and a scenic drive past Mount Fuji, the game offers a diverse and immersive racing experience. Players start off as tourists and progress by earning wristbands at the Horizon Festival within the game, unlocking more thrilling races along the way. A unique feature, Discover Japan, introduces players to Touge Battles and hill-climb events inspired by Japan’s rich mountain road racing culture. The game also meticulously replicates the changing seasons, with each season – spring, summer, autumn, and winter – showcasing its own distinct foliage, weather conditions, and ambient sounds. Races can be enjoyed both during the day and at night, adding another layer of excitement to the gameplay.

Unveiling the Exclusive M2 Built for Forza Horizon 6

The spotlight is on the M2 Forza Edition, a digital creation that exists solely within the game and is not available as a physical special edition. In-game, this pre-tuned M2 features an A 700 performance preset and body kit, accessible by reaching Horizon Legend Tier 5 in the Collection Journal. This unique variant is a testament to the game’s commitment to delivering exclusive and thrilling experiences to players.

BMW’s Enduring Legacy in the Forza Universe

BMW’s presence in the Forza series dates back to its inception, with the brand making an appearance in every iteration of the game. The BMW Group’s other marques, Mini and Rolls-Royce, also make cameo appearances. Notably, Forza Motorsport, the simulation-focused counterpart to Forza Horizon, dedicated an entire month to BMW in January 2025, featuring a BMW Tour across four race series and offering reward cars such as the M4 GT3, the iconic 1976 3.0 CSL, and a Le Mans-spec M Hybrid V8. The latter even came with a chance to win a trip to the prestigious Le Mans race.
