Subscribe to our newsletter Playground Games is finally ready to leave the Xbox One behind.

Forza Horizon 5 arrived a year after the launch of Microsoft Gaming's new-gen home console – a compelling system showcase that remains one of the best Xbox Series X games.

For as excellent as Horizon 5 is, I have long wondered what Playground could achieve were it able to circumvent the bottleneck created by needing to support decade-old hardware.

With the release of Forza Horizon 6 on May 19, fantasy will become reality."I think you can't overstate it.

.

It's a sea change," says design director Torben Ellert, as we discuss what the new-gen focus unlocks for the studio.

"The interesting space that you get [to innovate] is from where you suddenly have headroom in systems that you didn't have previously."One example Ellert gives is the introduction of Aftermarket and Treasure cars, two new ways to obtain vehicles in Forza Horizon 6 outside of the returning Autoshow and Barn Finds.

Parked all around Japan are unique Aftermarket cars which, once discovered, can be purchased at a discount and immediately taken out for a test drive ## Editor's Note This is an interesting development that could shape the future of gaming.
