Forza is the ultimate expression of automotive culture for car lovers and gamers.

On behalf of our teams here at Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios, we want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who has played Forza Horizon 6. If this is your first time playing one of our games, welcome to the Forza community! We're thrilled to see so many of you enjoying the game and appreciating all the love and passion that our teams have put into it. Whether you're racing to obtain your next Wristband, cruising through Japan with your friends, participating in meetups and Horizon Play modes, building in EventLab or creating fresh liveries, we're grateful to have you with us at the Horizon Festival. 

While Forza Horizon 6 is now available worldwide on PC, we're not done yet. We've been watching the videos you create and reading your feedback online across all the different platforms you use, including Reddit, Steam and Discord, YouTube and Twitch, all the various social media sites, and of course, the Forza Feedback Portal[aka.ms].  

Between all these channels, we've identified a few key areas of improvement that our team is already working on: 

• Drivatar AI Balance – We've heard from you that sometimes our AI opponents are too fast to compete with, especially at higher difficulty levels. As we investigate, we will monitor your feedback and review our data, coming back to you with an update once we have something concrete to share. 

• PC Framerate on AMD GPUs – We're aware of performance issues on AMD graphics cards, and we are working on fixes to improve overall framerate. Your feedback around how the game is running on your system will help us to find additional optimizations, so continue to leverage the Forza Feedback Portal[aka.ms] to share your experiences with us. 

• PC Audio Crackling – We’re investigating a potential fix for audio crackling when playing the game on some PC hardware configurations.  

• PC Crashes and Invalid Loading Errors – We've been reading your reports about some of the crashes and errors you are encountering in the PC version of Forza Horizon 6. We've already released a hotfix that makes improvements to the Invalid Loading errors[support.forza.net], and we're continuing to work on additional fixes that will be rolled out in future updates. Some of the crashes we’ve observed are from hardware that fall below our minimum supported PC specs or unsupported operating systems.  

• We highly recommend that players update their PC graphics driver to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the game: 

• NVIDIA GeForce Drivers[www.nvidia.com] 

• AMD Radeon Drivers[www.amd.com] 

• Intel ARC Drivers[www.intel.com] 

• Refer to the Forza Horizon 6 PC Specs[support.forza.net] to see the minimum and recommend specs for the game. The PC version of Forza Horizon 6 supports Windows 10 / 11 and Steam Deck. The game is not supported on Linux. 

• For troubleshooting PC-specific issues, check out these Support articles: 

• My Game is Not Launching or is Crashing on PC[support.forza.net] 

• Update Gaming Services Before Playing Forza Horizon 6 on PC[support.forza.net] 

• Forza Horizon 6 PC Crash Error Codes[support.forza.net] 

• Note: The minimum supported GPU architecture for NVIDIA players is Turing. Forza Horizon 6 is not guaranteed to work for NVIDIA users with GPUs based on the Pascal architecture and older (for example GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 players). These architectures are below our minimum supported specification, no longer benefit from driver support, and you may therefore experience stability and performance issues. 

• Forza Horizon 6 will not work for AMD users with GPUs based on the Polaris or Vega architectures and older (for example Radeon 400 and 500 series players). These architectures are below our minimum supported specification. 

In addition to the improvements outlined above, we're developing future content updates for Forza Horizon 6. Our first Festival Playlist series, "Welcome to Japan," has already kicked off[forza.net] with new events and rewards available to obtain. You can look forward to new series updates being released on a monthly cadence, and over time these will introduce new cars, features and additional content to the game. We're also working on the Italian Passion Car Pack available in July for Premium players, the two expansions included in the Premium Edition and Premium Upgrade. Simply put, there's a lot to look forward to at the Horizon Festival. 

As we continue to develop new updates for Forza Horizon 6, the suggestions you're sharing with us on the Forza Feedback Portal will help shape the future of the game[aka.ms]. So, keep those ideas coming and remember to upvote the feature and car requests that you agree with, as that will help us to prioritize the additions and changes you want to see the most. What's more, you can also share any issues you encounter, allowing us to triage and reproduce the bugs impacting your gameplay experience. 

We hope you continue to enjoy playing Forza Horizon 6. Whether you are driving solo or exploring Japan with your friends, we want you to always have fun in the game. If you're looking for additional players to start a Convoy with, the Forza Discord is a great place to do that.[discord.gg] There are plenty of ways to meet other players in the game too, such as at Car Meets, Drag Meets, and Time Attack Circuits.
