I thought I’d do something low effort fun this time around with an article, but I’ve got a fair amount of trepidation sharing it. When it comes to something like this (what I recommend you play/watch if you’re specifically waiting for Forza Horizon 6 set in Japan), I think I might have some people sad that I didn’t recommend a few other titles.
In the end this is just a mix of games I love, like Need For Speed Underground 2, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix, F&F Tokyo Drift and so on.
I’m so excited for Horizon 6. I get the impression it’ll be like the previous few: I go into it hyped and then after a month I realize it has the same format as all the others. But the idea of drifting without a care is keeping me happy for the release.
SO, if you wanna see my recommendations for what to check out before FH6 comes out, check my article out:

A friend of mine was telling me about this game the other day. I’m not a car guy, but driving around Japan does sound kinda fun. I’m out on the Xbox Series tho and doubt my PC could run it.
There’s gotta be plenty of other games set in a semi-realistic Japan, right? I’d be curious to hear recs, racing or not.
Even without being a car person, nfsu2 is a really fun casual game, it isn’t overly difficult, the AI is competent enough to be fun but not be unfair, customization let’s you just play with every part of it visually, while performance stuff keeps quite simple (stage 1, 2 or 3, and then you go to Dyno for more if you want to dive there). Also the game is in depth enough to have quite a lot to do in it
Don’t forget the soundtrack, which absolutely slaps.
One of my favourite parts of gaming was the Tokyo level in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix. You’ll need a retro setup to run it haha
