Today, Microsoft released another trailer showing off perhaps the most important location in Forza Horizon 6, the city of Tokyo.
The trailer focuses on showing various districts of the city, from the shinkansen tracks to quiet residential neighborhoods. We see the docks and an industrial site.
The scenes move on to a suburban gas station, a quiet garden, a commercial neighborhood, and what I believe is a fictionalization of Shibuya’s scramble crossing.
Next is the Rainbow Bridge, another neighborhood crossed by the iconic elevated expressway, and finally Akihabara, with the old and beloved railway bridge carrying the Chuo-Soubu Line (although they got the color of the train wrong. It should have been yellow).
Tying up many of the scenes is the Tokyo Tower, which the developers appear to have chosen as the main landmark of the city, apparently skipping the taller Skytree.
As someone who often stays in Tokyo, certain areas are certainly recognizable, although there is a bit of uncanny valley feeling, mostly due to the massively different scale and the exclusion of some really important landmarks like the aforementioned Skytree and more.
That being said, we certainly should keep in mind that reproducing the awesome size of Tokyo in a game like this is basically an impossible task. I’m sure the developers did what they could.

Forza Horizon 6 will release for PC and Xbox Series X|S on May 19, 2026. A PS5 version has also been announced, but it’ll come at a later time within 2026. A precise release date for the PS5 version has not been announced.
The game that was officially revealed back in September 2025 to celebrate Tokyo Game Show 2025 will finally bring the franchise to Japan, a setting that has been requested by fans pretty much since the first Forza Horizon showcased the potential of open-world racing games.
