FH6 Known Issues & Bugs
No game launches perfectly. Here are the known issues, community complaints, and bugs reported in Forza Horizon 6, plus what we know about fixes.
Confirmed Issues
Interior View Too Dark
Players report car interiors appearing excessively dark. Dashboard backlighting activates during daytime but instruments remain barely visible.
Workaround: Switch from MSAA to TAA or DLAA in graphics settings. This has been reported to improve interior visibility.
Status: Community-reported. Playground Games investigating.
Low Traffic Density (Online)
Roads appear virtually empty in what should be dense urban Tokyo, especially in online multiplayer mode.
Status: Confirmed by community. Similar issue existed in FH5 and was never fully resolved.
Car Model Accuracy Issues
The official forums track 14+ cars with inaccurate models. Notably, many JDM cars use USDM 3D models instead of authentic Japanese domestic market versions.
Affected cars include: Fairlady Z Z32, AE86 (debated), Civic EK9, S2000 AP1, Silvia S14.
Status: Low priority. Likely addressed over multiple updates.
Missing Active Aero Animations
Several unique active aero features from previous games are non-functional:
- Koenigsegg Jesko gyroscopic dash
- Ferrari SF90 rear diffuser aero
- LaFerrari rear diffuser (missing since FH3)
Status: Low priority.
Unconfirmed Reports
- Missing Playground Games modes (King, Infected, Flag Rush) — split community opinion
- Auction House status — unconfirmed whether it exists in FH6
- Steam Deck stutter — improves after 15-20 minutes of shader compilation

|---|---|---|
| Interior lighting | High | Likely day-one patch or first update |

| Car models | Low-Medium | Addressed over multiple updates |
| Active aero | Low | Rarely prioritized |
