Forza Horizon 6 to Introduce Drift Attack Mode on 7 September

Playground Games has announced the introduction of a new Drift Attack mode for Forza Horizon 6. The upcoming update is scheduled for release on 7 September and will grant players access to a dedicated drifting format hosted permanently at the Shimanoyama Circuit.

The core gameplay centers around drifting point accumulation, supporting solo runs, Convoy participation, and sessions in the shared open world alongside other players. A key feature of the mode is the introduction of Clipping Zones—designated track sectors that apply score multipliers when tackled mid-slide. The scoring system evaluates drift angle, duration, and trajectory accuracy.

Launching an event requires no interface menus, as drivers simply pass through an archway located at the track within the open world. Lap counts are unlimited, enabling drivers to practice and refine their scores freely. Progressing through Drift Attack unlocks the 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition. Moving forward, the development team also intends to integrate limited-time Drift Attack events into the open world as well as a collaboration with 7-Eleven.
