Playground Games, the developer behind Forza Horizon 6, has finally responded to player feedback after months of radio silence regarding the game's post-launch updates and communication. The studio's social media post, beginning with 'Hey Horizon Community,' acknowledged that they haven't been communicating with players as much as they could, and confirmed they are reviewing feedback about post-launch updates and planning future changes to both in-game content and communication strategies. The game, which received critical acclaim including a 10/10 review from IGN upon release, has faced growing frustration from the community due to the lack of developer engagement. Players have expressed disappointment over missing features from previous Forza games, such as in-game voice chat, which was present in the 2023 Forza Motorsport title. Content creators like STEVIO2175, AR12Gaming, HokiHoshi, and Ericship111 have highlighted these issues in detailed videos, noting that players feel forced to participate in Horizon Festival playlists to access new cars, many of which are recycled from earlier games. The absence of Playground's Forza Monthly show, which previously engaged directly with the community, has also raised concerns, with some speculating it may be related to new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's 'reset' and subsequent layoffs. Additionally, the lack of a confirmed PlayStation 5 release date for Forza Horizon 6, despite earlier promises of a 2026 release, has further fueled community frustration. The studio is also reportedly focusing on the Fable reboot, set for release on February 23, 2027, which may be diverting resources from Forza Horizon 6 development. Despite these challenges, Playground Games has committed to addressing community feedback and improving communication moving forward.
