I thought I’d do something low effort fun this time around with an article, but I’ve got a fair amount of trepidation sharing it. When it comes to something like this (what I recommend you play/watch if you’re specifically waiting for Forza Horizon 6 set in Japan), I think I might have some people sad that I didn’t recommend a few other titles.
In the end this is just a mix of games I love, like Need For Speed Underground 2, Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix, F&F Tokyo Drift and so on.

I’m so excited for Horizon 6. I get the impression it’ll be like the previous few: I go into it hyped and then after a month I realize it has the same format as all the others. But the idea of drifting without a care is keeping me happy for the release.
SO, if you wanna see my recommendations for what to check out before FH6 comes out, check my article out:

I’ll add in Tokyo Xtreme Racer to your list. While it’s limited to Tokyo’s expressways, it does those very very well. And it features some delightful japanese jank too. Top notch game.
Also worth mentioning are the touge battles in the original GRID. Though, dissapointingly, I couldn’t find this one for sale anywhere - you might have to source it on the seven seas.
