After Months of Silence and Being Called Out by the Forza Horizon 6 Community, Developer Playground Games Finally Responds
The studio said it is reading player comments and reviewing post-launch updates as fans criticize missing features and months of silence.
- Playground Games addressed community frustration on its social channels, stating, "We're reading all your comments about Forza Horizon 6, and we realize that we haven't been talking with you as much as we could be."
- Players grew frustrated as the title's Steam rating dropped from "Very Positive" to "Mixed" due to missing features and perceived lack of engagement, with content creator STEVIO2175 describing community interaction as "nonexistent."
- Although Forza Horizon 6 launched in May with a 90 on Metacritic, fans criticized the live service model, citing "Playlist FOMO Lack" and the requirement to grind specific festival playlists for recycled cars.
- Reports indicate the PlayStation 5 version of Forza Horizon 6 is delayed to 2027, potentially as Playground prioritizes development on the Fable reboot, though Microsoft and Playground have not officially confirmed a new date.
- Some observers speculate the studio's communication breakdown may stem from new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's organizational "reset," noting that the previously active Forza Monthly show has been absent amid recent layoffs.
