Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan and due on May 19, adds a new customizable space called an Estate where players can construct buildings, tracks, and other features on a flat plot of land.
The Estate is intended as a player-owned area that can be shaped freely. An Xbox Wire post describes it as “a flat area of land where you can build anything you want – a mountain hideaway, a personalized track for friends” and says the only real constraint is cost.
Items placed on an Estate require credits to buy. The game refunds those credits if a player deletes a placed item. Credits are earned through normal Forza activities such as winning races, exploring the world, and completing smaller jobs. The announcement specifically called out the more down-to-earth work players can do, saying credits can come from things like delivering tofu.
Design Director Torben Ellert emphasized the relationship between the Estate and in-world progression, saying, “It creates this sense of connection for us that you’ve worked to get these credits by taking part in something.” The Xbox Wire post also frames Estates as a reward earned through play rather than given outright.
The Estates system is one of several features revealed during the January 22 Xbox Developer Direct coverage. That broadcast confirmed the May 19 release date and showed how the Japan setting will be used beyond tracks and open roads. Forza Horizon 6 will offer multiple purchase tiers at launch; a higher-priced Premium Edition has already been noted as costing $120 and does not include every planned DLC item.
