Nissan talks Forza Horizon 6 as Japan setting puts JDM culture in focus

Xbox Wire Japan has published a new manufacturer-focused feature on Forza Horizon 6, this time speaking with Nissan about the appeal of seeing its cars in the upcoming Japan-set racer. The article highlights how Forza can introduce new audiences to Nissan’s history, from classic models to NISMO machines and modern performance cars. The listed lineup includes the new 2024 Nissan GT-R NISMO, 2017 Nissan GT-R, 1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R, 2019 Nissan 370Z Nismo and 2024 Nissan Z NISMO. For Forza fans, this is exactly the kind of detail that matters. A Japan setting naturally raises expectations around JDM culture, nighttime city drives, mountain passes and iconic performance cars. Nissan’s comments specifically mention cruising through neon-lit Tokyo in an R33 GT-R and pushing a Fairlady Z through mountain roads, which feels like direct fan bait in the best possible way. Forza Horizon 6 launches May 19 for Xbox Series and PC, supports Xbox Cloud and Xbox Play Anywhere, and arrives day one on Game Pass Ultimate.
