Make yourself at home in Japan.
We’re taking customization and creation to a new level in Forza Horizon 6, and we want to give you the tools to shape and decorate your world in new ways.
Whether it’s through dreaming up your very own garage space, showing off your favorite cars, building your perfect Estate or creating new experiences with our custom tools, in Forza Horizon 6, you truly get to make the world yours.
We’ve seen how creative you are by the amazing things you’ve created in our past games, so we wanted to give you even more freedom to do what you like. Our goal is to provide the community with powerful tools that allow you and your friends to make the Horizon gameplay experiences you've always dreamed of.
In this blog, we're taking a closer look at how EventLab has evolved with new quality-of-life upgrades from the current version in Forza Horizon 5, the ability to build together in real-time using Horizon CoLab, as well as the new customizable properties that we've introduced in Forza Horizon 6 – Garages and The Estate.
We have expanded our Player Houses feature from previous Forza Horizon games to include an all-new Customizable Garage for every single one of them.
You can really make this space your own: fill it all with as many props as you can afford (don’t worry, you will get back the full value if you remove them), mix them and match them however you like to create your own themes, or let chaos reign; it’s entirely up to you. In a garage, you can display up to four cars, choose the best spot for your character to strike a pose, and take a closer look in Forzavista!
You can also visit another player’s garage and see their cars and their character in the space they have built. There is even an option to download garage layouts shared online by the community and use them as your own in any of your personal garages to show off your favorite cars.
Players will be able to move around freely in both their own garages, and the garages of other players, using a drone camera. This will allow you to explore all levels of a garage to fully appreciate the design. When visiting another player's garage, you'll also be able to see the owner's character standing where they decided to place their character in their garage.
Then there’s The Estate. This vast building space is surrounded by sprawling mountains and cliffs where you can create the home of your dreams. Powered by the upgraded EventLab toolset, you have all the flexibility to create whatever you can imagine: urban spaces, forests, a festival of your own... you name it. This permanent space is yours to decorate as you like, and maybe invite some people over to visit?
Just like with the Customizable Garages, you can also download and visit shared Estates that have been created by other players.
As we were working on Customizable Garages and The Estate, we decided to introduce a series of improvements to EventLab, the powerful gameplay toolset that enables you to craft custom experiences, races, challenges, stunts, and more.
Now you can Stamp props when building in EventLab. This allows you to quickly place the same object into the world repeatedly. You can also test your creations as you build them with the new Free Drive option (which doesn’t impact the driving line for your event). And for you solo builders, we added Undo and Redo, allowing you to quickly go back and forth on the latest changes you’ve made to your map.
EventLab now also allows you to start building anywhere in the world to create your own custom space with just a few button presses. This will give you the opportunity to create incredible events fueled by your imagination; the sky is not the limit here!
Additionally, you can now move your start grid within the Route Creator. This means not only can you start building anywhere, but you can even build a world in the sky, and then move your start line up to your built world and create a Route there.
When entering EventLab, the game will automatically generate 12 grid positions for you – providing that there's space to do so. If you're creating your Event on a road, it will even automatically align them to it in a classic grid format. You can freely edit these after though to create any grid format you desire. Want to create a drag style lineup? You can do that, or spread them out all across your Event. You can even start them all facing in a circle if you want to.
Precision Mode is also back! This allows you to toggle on a precision camera while placing props, which slows down movement. Orbit Camera has stayed too and can be toggled in the options menu.
Players can still create their own Challenges in Forza Horizon 6! We’ve folded Super7 into EventLab, which means building in the Challenge Creator also benefits from all the new upgrades we’ve introduced to the EventLab toolset. Now you can build and play your Challenges anywhere in Japan, and instead of event activation points appearing on the map, Challenges are now all stored within their own category in the EventLab menu.
And that’s not all. We know how much you love to create and collaborate, so for the first time, we’re bringing Multiplayer building support to EventLab through a brand-new feature: Horizon CoLab. Note: Customizable Garages and The Estate will only support solo building.
Whether you’re teaming up with careful collaborators who build incredible events or areas to explore, or you just want to place down ramps and smashables and create fun chaos for your friends as they drive through the open world, Horizon CoLab makes it happen.
Once you’ve finished building your masterpiece, you can share it with the entire Horizon community. We've also worked on improved Trending logic, allowing everyone to discover an always evolving catalog of exciting new content.
When we started the development of Forza Horizon 6 our goal was clear: improve our toolset to give you more options, more custom spaces to make your own, and more freedom to let your creativity flow and shape the world your way.
We hope that Customizable Garages, The Estate, EventLab and the new Horizon CoLab functionality enable you to create fantastic experiences. We can’t wait to see what you build with them!
