My FH6 Log: First Hunts

If you’ve played Forza Horizon 6 and have earned the Golden Wristband along with a spot on Legend Island, congratulations! However, your journey at Legend Island is just the beginning of the real challenge. You can now take on seasonal playlists and explore ever-evolving world content, ensuring that Horizon Japan remains exciting and fresh.


The first series update is titled Welcome To Japan and this playlist is packed with five prize cars exclusive to this series update, including a memorable 90s JDM hot hatchback from Toyota. Having fought our way through the first FH6 series update, let's take a look at our Series 1 hauls.


The first one is the Toyota Altezza, which I won by nabbing 15 points in the Series 1 Summer Playlist. Launched in the autumn of 1998, the Toyota Altezza is a compact, rear-wheel-drive medium sedan with dynamics akin to those of expensive European imports. It won the 1998 Japan Car of the Year and was exported to Europe in 1999 and in the US in 2000 as the Lexus IS.


Obtained from hitting the 30-point target in the Series 1 Autumn Playlist is a Honda CR-X SiR, the evolved form of the former Ballade Sports CR-X. Known by the "Cyber Sports" banner in TV commercials, the wedge-shaped CR-X is powered by a choice of 1.5L and 1.6L VTEC engines producing 160 PS.


Obtained from hitting the 30-point target in the Series 1 Winter Playlist is a Toyota Arctic Trucks Land Cruiser AT37, a J150-spec Prado modified by Icelandic off-road specialists, Arctic Trucks.


Lastly, the car in question that was obtained from hitting the 15-point target from the Series 1 Spring Playlist is the Toyota Starlet Glanza V, a high-performance variant of the final-generation Toyota Starlet hatchback.


Thought I forgot about this one, huh? Yes, it's the Mazda Furai Concept, the racing concept car that I won for hitting 60 series points throughout the Series 1 update. It's a rotary-powered racing machine based on the underpinnings of Mazda's IMSA racer.






It's time for the Series 1 exclusive prize cars to test their might. Let's roll the tapes.






What are your thoughts on the prize cars from the first series update of Forza Horizon 6? Do you have a favorite? I won’t spoil it, but I bet many of you liked either the Altezza or the Starlet Glanza V. However, it seems that the Altezza is the more popular choice, and I think we all know why!


Forza Horizon 6's first series update has come to a close. Get ready for more classic cars in Series 2, titled Horizon Decades.

YOUR NEXT MISSION.

My FH6 Log: Hard-To-Get Cars: The TE27 Corolla coupe

The Toyota Corolla (TE27) SR5 is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6. Some players believe it is a rotating playlist prize car that will reappear in a future seasonal update. If you missed the opportunity to get one, just be patient; it should return soon.


Launched in May 1970, the second-generation Corolla represents the evolution of one of Toyota's longest-running nameplates, second only to the Crown. During this generation, Toyota introduced a two-door coupe version known as the Corolla Levin, which was sold in the United States as the S5 and the SR5. The Levin is equipped with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Early models produced approximately 100 PS, while the version with the 2T-G engine generated around 115 PS. In 1974, the team from Car & Driver magazine raced this model in an SCCA competition.

My FH6 Log: Hard-To-Get Cars: The Subaru STi S209

The Subaru STi S209 is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6. Some players believe it is a rotating playlist prize car that will reappear in a future seasonal update. If you missed the opportunity to get one, just be patient; it should return soon.

Based on the facelifted VA-spec Subaru WRX STi, the S209 is the third STi-tuned model available in the United States, following the WRX STi Type RA and the Subaru BRZ tS released in 2018. Since it is sold exclusively in the U.S., the engine powering it is a tuned version of the EJ25 2.5L flat-four turbocharged engine found in the global market version, rather than the EJ20 used for the Japan-spec WRX STi. The S209 produces 341 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque, and it is mated exclusively to a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Additionally, the S209 features 19-inch forged BBS wheels fitted with Dunlop 265/35R19 high-grip tires, the widest ever used on an STi model. It also includes a unique strut tower bar and draw stiffener, which have been proven in the Nürburgring 24-hour race, along with a carbon roof and various aerodynamic upgrades designed to enhance airflow and downforce.

Only 209 units of the S209 were produced, making it a limited edition exclusive to the U.S. market.


With the quick briefing done, it's time for the Subaru STi S209 to test its might. Roll the tape.


Remember: The Subaru STi S209 is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6.

My FH6 Log: Hard-To-Get Cars: The R33 Skyline GT-R

The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6. Some players believe it is a rotating playlist prize car that will reappear in a future seasonal update. If you missed the opportunity to get one, just be patient; it should return soon.


Launched in 1995, Nissan transformed the R32 into the R33 Skyline GT-R, adopting the slogan "Minus 21 second roman" because of the Nurburgring lap time of 7:59:000, 21 seconds faster than the R32's lap time of 8:20:000. With the same RB26DETT engine, the R33 got an improved ATTESSA E-TS that was called ATTESA E-TS Pro All Wheel Drive system, which contains LSD. The R33 GT-R was designed by Kozo Watanabe.

My FH6 Log: Hard-To-Get Cars: The Lancer Evolution IX

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX is a rare prize car that you can win and drive in Forza Horizon 6. Some players believe it is a rotating playlist prize car that will reappear in a future seasonal update. If you missed the opportunity to get one, just be patient; it should return soon.


The Evolution IX is the final update of the third generation of the Lancer Evolution, which began with the Evolution VII in 2001 and continued with the Evolution VIII in 2004. This model is also the last Lancer Evolution to be equipped with Mitsubishi's 4G63 4-cylinder turbo engine, which was enhanced for improved engine response.

Additionally, it features an upgraded suspension system with Eibach coil springs and Bilstein dampers, as well as a reprogrammed Super Active Yaw Control 4WD system for better cornering. The vehicle also includes revised aerodynamics for enhanced performance.

007: FIRST LIGHT

IO Interactive, the team behind the Hitman: World of Assassination trilogy, has unveiled a new game that explores the origin story of the legendary agent known as 007, James Bond. This latest third-person shooter from the creators of the Hitman series brings to life the beginnings of Bond's journey like never before.

007: FIRST LIGHT
007: FIRST LIGHT (PS5)

007: FIRST LIGHT, the newest 007 game made in partnership with IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios, brings James Bond's origin story to life, featuring an all-original story penned by the folks who worked on the 007 movie universe.

The game's story revolves around James Bond before he becomes 007. MI6 is hesitant to promote Bond due to his reckless behavior, but Bond is determined to prove himself worthy of the 00 status. As he travels the globe, he works to hunt down threats to global security.

FIRST LIGHT, which shares DNA with the Hitman trilogy, is a third-person shooter game featuring unique gameplay mechanics that demand strategic thinking for successful infiltration and elimination.

The stealth-focused missions require careful planning due to the limited instinctive abilities, such as the capacity to fast-talk through enemy guards. 

In combat scenarios, players can employ various creative methods to take down opponents. While action disarms and throwing weapons can be effective, players must also devise inventive strategies to defeat heavily armed enemies that are harder to eliminate.

Apart from a wide array of weapons from handguns to heavy weaponry, mastery of gadgetry is the key aspect of FIRST LIGHT. One example is the famous Q Watch, which features a radar ping to find incoming objectives, a short-range laser for various uses, and others.

FIRST LIGHT includes exciting driving segments where you can drive iconic vehicles like the Aston Martin V8 from The Living Daylights, the Aston Martin DBS from Casino Royale, and the heavily-armed Aston Martin Valhalla. You will chase down enemies or escape from hostile forces, all in the spirit of enhancing the fun factor in this 007 experience.

If you're seeking a greater challenge, consider trying mission simulators. In these simulators, you'll complete various tasks to earn experience points, which you can use to purchase upgrades, skills, and outfits. You can also set a high score to showcase your abilities and prove who the top agent is. Expect more missions post-launch.

A 007 game like no other, FIRST LIGHT combines IOI's Hitman DNA with the world of 007, featuring unique storytelling, dynamic third-person combat, thrilling driving missions, and non-stop excitement for 007 fans to enjoy.

Time to show MI6 you're worthy of becoming a 00 Agent.

My FH6 Log: GET STARTED/始める

Congratulations on the start of your Horizon Japan journey. Getting started on your Forza Horizon 6 gameplay is like the start of a new show, if you catch my drift. Although you are feeling excited about Horizon Japan, the path to the top is not an easy task because there is so much to do in Horizon Japan before earning the right to bear the Golden Wristband.

Having enjoyed the Prologue, your real quest begins at Mei's House, your first Player House, where you will be given a set of three starter cars to drive. They're all yours to keep.




These are the three starter cars in question: an S13 Nissan Silvia, the ST205 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR, and the GMC K5 Jimmy. Pre-tuned at the start, these starter three musketeers are in fighting form for you to take on the Horizon Qualifiers. Complete enough races to unlock the qualifiers challenge, which is a form of a road trip that will take you to the festival site. Get to the destination, and you will earn your first Horizon wristband, the yellow one.




Earning a yellow wristband not only unlocks a new set of races to challenge yourself with but also provides three exciting cars to drive. This second batch of starters is proven to be better than the first batch you received from Mei's House at the beginning. The Toyota GR86, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI, and RAM 1500 TRX are all worth your time as you tackle the races exclusive to yellow wristband holders, giving you a taste of what Horizon Japan has to offer.

The goal of your Horizon Japan adventure is to achieve the Golden Wristband. By completing races, open-world time attacks, and PR stunts, anything under the HORIZON FESTIVAL progression from your journal, you'll earn points required to advance to the next Horizon Wristband. Achieve enough points, and you will take on Wristband challenges, which involve either a Horizon Rush obstacle course or a Horizon Showcase, where you will pit your car against a unique competition. Long story short, but you get the point.



Having enjoyed my time with the Horizon Japan starters, I decided to take some time to compare them to prove their might. Let's begin with the S13 Silvia and the GR86, two drift-happy RWD JDM coupes.






Next up, the two rally classics: the Toyota Celica GT-FOUR and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI.






Lastly, the GMC K5 Jimmy and the RAM 1500 TRX. Two cross-country beasts capable of showing Japan what cross-country is all about.




Experience the thrill of winning races, tuning cars, and collecting vehicles in Horizon Japan. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet of excitement, so take your time exploring the finest that Japan has to offer. Compete against others in the fight for the Golden Wristband and earn your place on Legend Island.

As always, make your dream come true. Good luck.

Gran Turismo World Series 2026 Round 1

The 2026 edition of the Gran Turismo World Series kicked off in front of a sold-out audience in Milan. New and returning competitors took part in the opener, where the fight to become the best Gran Turismo player begins.

Before the season began, viewers were introduced to the June 2026 update for Gran Turismo 7. This update included four World Endurance Championship (WEC) hypercars: the Porsche 963, the Ferrari 499P, the BMW M Hybrid V8, and the Peugeot 9X8. Additionally, it featured a 992.1-spec Porsche 911 Turbo Safety Car.

Screengrab from Gran Turismo

Beginning with the Manufacturers Cup, last year's champion, Jose Serrano, representing Porsche, delivered a controversial win against Ferrari's Maximilian Kroll in the fight to the finish at the Nurburgring Nordschleife Endurance II track. Jack Balding, representing Mercedes-AMG, completes the first Manufacturers Cup podium of the new season.

In the Nations Cup, meanwhile, two Spaniards in Monza fight to the finish with Pol Urra defeating Jose Serrano for the first Nations Cup win of the season, while Takuma Miyazono settles for third place.

The next round of the 2026 GTWS will be in Tokyo's Polyphony Digital studio on August 15, 2026.

Forza Horizon 6

Horizon goes Japanese with the latest Forza Horizon adventure, where the motoring party heads to The Land of the Rising Sun - Japan!

Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6

Japan is the latest stop for the Forza Horizon series, and it's about time the festival heads to the Asian motoring superpower. In Forza Horizon 6, players explore the Japanese landscape in style and power. Whether you can speed your way through the Shutokou or drift through the iconic corners of Mt. Haruna, Japan awaits.

Players begin their Horizon Japan journey as tourists, and the only way to enter the Horizon Festival is by tackling the qualifiers. Win enough races, and you'll get yourself your first wristband. Different wristband colors mean more races to compete. Aim for the Golden Wristband, that's your ticket to Legend Island, where you will become a Horizon Legend.

Unlike past Horizon adventures, the Horizon-sanctioned races are no longer on an "anything goes" basis. You need a required car type to compete. Road races require road cars, while dirt and cross-country events require any car capable of off-road driving, such as rally cars or SUVs. Win one, and you can change the ruleset to your liking.

If you can't find the vehicle you need for the race, don't worry! "Aftermarket cars" are randomly scattered throughout the map. These recommended cars are available at discounted prices, so be sure to grab one before they disappear. Occasionally, elusive Forza Edition cars may appear as well. If you spot one and have the funds, make sure to buy it!

Apart from the strict Horizon-sanctioned races, FH6 features open-world time attack venues and drag strips where you can bring cars of any class to set lap times.

If you need to take a break from racing for the Horizon Festival, you can discover Japan by all means. Take photos of landmarks, play through Horizon stories, go on a delivery job, take on "anything goes" street races, the more Discover Japan activities you can accomplish, the more new stamps you'll gain, new stamps that will gain access to more purchasable garages and barn find rumors to track down.

In addition to traditional Barn Finds, FH6 features hard-to-find Treasure Cars scattered in parts of the map. Unlike Barn Finds, you find one, and you can drive it immediately. No strings attached.

Speaking of garages, you can customize your garage for the first time, and if you bought something called The Estate, you can customize your Estate to your liking. You can even share your garage and estate creations with the world.

The EventLab has gained a major upgrade because, for the first time ever, you and your convoy friends can build courses together.

FH6 features over 550 playable cars at launch, most of which are returning models from past installments. Unfortunately, only a few modern vehicles are included on the list, such as the Maserati MC20, the Acura Integra DE4, the Toyota Land Cruiser 250, and the standout car, the GR GT Concept. To make matters worse, the car roster is filled with older models like the JZX100 Toyota Chaser, the Mercedes-AMG SLC43, the Honda Beat, the Honda Acty Truck, the Subaru Vivio, and others, not to mention fictional WTAC cars, which are time attack versions of old cars like the S15 Silvia, the EG Honda Civic, the CR-X, the Cayman, the Exige, and others.

Looking at the post-launch content, the outlook seems bleak, as we can expect more outdated cars that may not appeal to many players, including the R32 race car, a fictional S30Z time attack car, a Toyota Starlet Glanza V, a fictional Alfa Romeo race car, an R33 GT-R Autech 4-door, and others. Brace yourselves; it’s going to be a messy adventure in the Land of Anime.

Apart from the usual campaign gig, FH6's online multiplayer remains, and apart from online races, it retains some of the most iconic Horizon games, such as the Eliminator and Hide-and-Seek. Keep playing those online multiplayer modes to boost your Horizon Play level. Rewards await.

So, there we have it, kids: Forza Horizon 6. Despite the disappointing car roster that prioritizes less desirable classic cars over highly sought-after modern vehicles, the back-to-basics campaign, customizable experiences, and constantly evolving ways to enjoy the game make this the ultimate Forza Horizon adventure. It stands as a significant competitor to one of the best car racing games of 2026.

Forza Horizon 6 is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, and it's coming soon on PlayStation 5.

My GT7 Log: Xiaomi The Money

For the first time in Gran Turismo history, a Chinese car company, Xiaomi, has joined the franchise. As the Gran Turismo series begins to cater to Beijing, many are questioning the future direction of this iconic car racing series.

To the commoners, Xiaomi is a Chinese tech giant known for premium gadgetry at affordable prices. When a Chinese tech giant like Xiaomi ventured into the automotive business, this was uncharted territory worth conquering, and a car like the SU7 Ultra is proof of it.


First launched in 2024, the SU7 is Xiaomi's first mass-produced vehicle that incorporates Xiaomi's gadgetry know-how into a high-performance EV sedan. It was offered with a choice of Standard, Pro, Max, and, this, the Ultra.


The SU7 Ultra features a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system that produces a total output of 1,527 horsepower. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in just 1.98 seconds and can reach a top speed of over 350 kph, showcasing supercar-level performance for a high-performance Chinese electric saloon.

In addition to its impressive speed, the SU7 Ultra boasts high rigidity and a lightweight design, thanks to carbon-fiber body panels and a cell-to-body construction. It generates up to 285 kg of downforce and has a stopping distance of 101 feet when braking from 100 kph to a complete stop.

The SU7 Ultra lapped the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6m22.091.



I visited the Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE, the venue for the F1 season finale, to showcase the impressive performance of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. Honestly, this level of performance made me anxious about how China has produced such an outstanding super saloon that could outshine Western counterparts. Let’s take a closer look.


My moment with the SU7 Ultra made me post a 2m04.350s lap time around the Abu Dhabi track. Not my best result, but I got the taste of the performance this Chinese super saloon delivered. Call me worried.



From producing high-quality gadgets at affordable prices to making waves in the automotive industry with the fastest super saloon in the Green Hell, Xiaomi is on a roll. The SU7 Ultra is a clear indication of what's to come from China. No wonder the folks from Gran Turismo urged to bring the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra to GT7. Whether we like it or not, it's a real headline-grabber.



That is the Chinese food for thought for the night.

Poco a Pokemon
Poco a Pokemon

Poco a Pokemon (Pokemon Pokopia) gives players a chance to kick back and unwind as a Ditto, where they can meet and greet various Pokemons and build their ideal habitat to their heart's content.

In the ruins of the world of Pokemon where everything has perished, even humans, there came a Ditto and Professor Tangrowth stepping out of the ruins and into the wilderness in their hopes to rebuild habitats for all Pokémon to live.

As you build your ideal Pokémon habitat, you will come across a cast of super-helpful Pokémon that will grant you new abilities to make your building life easy. For instance, Bulbasaur will grant you the power to plant gardens, watering abilities from Squirtle, the Cut move from Scyther, the Rock Smash ability from Hitmonchan, and the list goes on. Some abilities are useful if you're in the mood for collecting resources needed for crafting materials for building.

As you keep on building, more and more Pokémon will reside, while some require you to fulfill certain conditions. Imagine the fun you'll have with your favorite Pokémon inhabitants.

Throughout your building journey, you will stumble across a unique cast of Pokémon, some of whom are witnesses to this forgotten land, including a sad-looking Pikachu. These folks have their own stories to tell.

Being a town-building game, you can use an internet connection (Switch Online subscription required) to visit other players' towns. You can even invite up to three other players to showcase your creations. You can even make a Cloud Island to share with the world as well. Don't forget to bring your favorite Pokémon resident while visiting other players' cloud islands. Your friends can't wait to meet yours.

Now that you understand the basics, are you ready to build your own Pokémon habitat as a Ditto? This game is a great way to relax and unwind from sunrise to sunset. Build, build, build! Build even better! The life of a Ditto has never felt so... well, Ditto. Enjoy!

BIOHAZARD requiem

In celebration of the BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) series' 30th anniversary, the newest installment has arrived. All roads lead to where the nightmare began. This is BIOHAZARD requiem.

BIOHAZARD requiem
BIOHAZARD requiem (PS5)

BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) requiem, unofficially known as BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) 9: requiem, is the ninth chapter of the megahit survival horror franchise. In this newest installment, FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft's investigation into the recent bizarre murder case ended with her being abducted and becoming an experiment for Victor Gideon's evil plans. As Grace struggles to survive through Gideon's hellhole, veteran US government agent Leon S. Kennedy is dispatched to rescue her. As their fates collide, all roads will lead to the scene of the disaster three decades ago: Raccoon City.

BIOHAZARD: Requiem is a game in the BIOHAZARD series that offers players a choice between first-person and third-person views. The segments featuring Grace Ashcroft primarily emphasize classic survival horror mechanics, focusing mainly on puzzle-solving. In contrast, Leon Kennedy's segments are action-oriented, providing players with an exciting survival horror experience. These gameplay mechanics are broadly similar to those found in Biohazard Revelations 2, released a few years ago.

A Requiem game wouldn’t be a true BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) experience without swarms of monsters impeding your progress. From the return of zombies to terrifying creatures eager to attack, players must stay vigilant. And let’s not forget the intense boss battles that add to the challenge.

From enduring Gideon's hellhole to returning to Raccoon City in search of the truth, "Requiem" serves as a fitting tribute to the BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) franchise. Fans have experienced fear since the first game launched in 1996, and with the latest installment, three decades of Capcom's iconic survival horror franchise have culminated in this moment. 

This is the most frightening way to celebrate three decades of the BIOHAZARD (RESIDENT EVIL) series. Ready to head back to the roots of all evil?

Return to Silent Hill

Don't adjust your radio sets. That bizarre radio signal's a sign that the latest Silent Hill movie has arrived in cinemas. Are you prepared to return to the fog-stricken, cursed town you know?

Return to Silent Hill
Return to Silent Hill

Return to Silent Hill is a horror movie that uses Silent Hill 2, one of the all-time horror game greats, as its base. Like the game itself, this movie centers on a man named James Sunderland, who ventures to the fog-stricken, cursed town called Silent Hill in search of Mary, the woman he loved who passed away a few years ago. As he ventures through this nightmarish hellhole, he will soon learn the truth.

Almost everything from Silent Hill 2 is featured in this film, including the characters and the monsters that haunt this living hell, especially the iconic Red Pyramid Thing that torments James. Although some parts of the game didn't make the cut, this movie showcases the terrifying mentality it possesses. From the moment the story begins, the terror begins, and with countless plot twists and flashbacks aplenty, this is what mentality feels like. Lost in the fog but all for the truth.

If you enjoyed playing Silent Hill 2, whether it's the original from 2001 or the 2024 remake, you might want to check out the latest movie—well, almost. This film demonstrates that the Silent Hill series is still alive, and we can expect more terrifying experiences from the franchise. While it may not be a great horror movie, it's easy to immerse yourself in a constant fog of nightmarish thoughts from start to finish.
