The Forza series – which lets you drive at 300mph – is not one you might automatically associate with "responsibility," but the upcoming Forza Horizon 6 is going to teach you to take some, damn it.
The Japan-set racing game out on May 19, per the January 22 Xbox Developer Direct, will introduce new, fantastic stretches of rural land called Estates, which are yours to customize exactly how you want… as long as you can afford it.
Per an Xbox Wire post, "The Estate is a flat area of land where you can build anything you want – a mountain hideaway, a personalized track for friends – the only real constraint is that the items will cost in-game currency."
While you're free to "build pretty much whatever you'd like" on your estate, the post also explains that, "When you build something, you pay a few credits to put it down – credits you earn in other activities across the game world – and you get the credits back if you delete something."
You can earn credits through glamorous Forza-worthy labor, like by winning races in your sportscar, or just by exploring Japan and its cherry blossoms. Or, you can get a taste for reality and be a tofu delivery boy. Up to you.
"It creates this sense of connection for us that you've worked to get these credits by taking part in something," says design Director Torben Ellert, like a strict father. The Xbox Wire post reiterates, "The result is a little slice of Japan that isn't just built by you, but earned by you."
