The radio tradition

Music has always been part of the Horizon Festival. Playground put it this way when revealing the line-up: "Music isn't just at the backdrop of our games", it is "at the forefront." Two of Forza Horizon 6's stations belong to record labels, Hospital Records and Sub Pop. Label tie-ins have a precedent: Forza Horizon 5's Rally Adventure expansion added 15 punk songs from Epitaph Records (Mar 29, 2023). More on the earlier games is on Forza Horizon 5 and Forza Horizon Games in Order.

Changes since launch

The Series 3 update on Jul 13, 2026 brought improvements to music track rotation on the radio. Every update is on Updates and Series.
