Playground Games has revealed Forza Horizon 6’s full radio station lineup and the first wave of confirmed tracks, making it the biggest Horizon soundtrack ever.
Forza Horizon 6 will launch on May 19, 2026 with nine radio stations and the largest music library in Horizon series history. Playground Games confirmed the news on May 4, 2026, alongside the announcement that the game has officially gone gold. With the Horizon Festival heading to Japan for the first time, the soundtrack introduces J-pop to the series while maintaining its signature mix of electronic, rock, hip-hop, drum & bass, synthwave, and classical genres.
All Nine Radio Stations Confirmed
Forza Horizon 6 expands its radio dial from the eight stations in Forza Horizon 5 to nine dedicated channels. Each station focuses on a distinct musical style, and the full list is as follows:
- Horizon Pulse (pop, nu-disco, synthpop, J-pop)
- Horizon Bass Arena (house, EDM, dubstep, drum & bass)
- Horizon Block Party (hip-hop, R&B, grime, J-rap)
- Horizon XS (rock, metal, punk, J-rock)
- Hospital Records (drum & bass)
- Gacha City Radio (J-pop, city pop, anime music, future funk)
- Sub Pop Records (indie, alternative)
- Horizon Wave (synthwave)
- Horizon Opus (classical)
Two stations are entirely new. Gacha City Radio caters directly to the Japanese setting with anime-inspired and J-pop tracks, while Sub Pop Records brings the iconic indie label’s catalogue into the Horizon universe. Hospital Records returns as a series staple for drum & bass fans.
Horizon Bass Arena: Full Track List
The first fully revealed station is Horizon Bass Arena, featuring 27 tracks that span house, EDM, and electronic sub-genres. Big names like Calvin Harris, FISHER, Dom Dolla, and ISOxo sit alongside deeper cuts. Japan’s influence shows up in tracks like Urbandawn’s “Yuki Touge” and Milk Talk’s “Sayonara Alpinist.”

How Japan Shaped the Soundtrack
Japan’s influence on Forza Horizon 6 extends far beyond the map. Playground Games stated that “iconic J-pop songs are debuting at the Horizon Festival for the first time,” setting this entry apart from every previous Horizon title. The developer also captured extensive field recordings across all four seasons in Japan to create what it calls “a rich and truly authentic” ambient soundscape.
The addition of Gacha City Radio as a brand-new station is arguably the boldest move. Dedicated to J-pop, city pop, anime music, and future funk, it directly reflects the game’s cultural setting. Meanwhile, even traditionally Western-focused stations like Horizon XS weave in Japanese artists. BABYMETAL, ONE OK ROCK, BAND-MAID, PassCode, and GOKUMON together ensure that Japanese rock and metal are represented across genres rather than siloed into a single channel.
New acoustic modelling technology also simulates how sound behaves in the game world. Engine audio has been remastered, and surface interactions produce more detailed feedback, meaning the soundtrack sits within a richer overall audio environment.
When Will the Remaining Track Lists Drop?
Playground Games confirmed that the remaining seven station tracklists will be revealed over the coming days via the official @ForzaHorizon social media channels. Spotify playlists for each individual station will also be published before launch, allowing players to preview the full soundtrack ahead of the May 19 release.
