Forza Horizon 6 is officially official in Japan, definitely confirmed. But, what else is there to spot so far?

Traxion has sifted through the trailer, spotted locations on Google Maps, read all of the available FAQs, and this is everything we know so far about Forza Horizon 6.

Such as, when will the PS5 version launch? What should you expect from the Japanese setting? Aren't there other open-world driving games already in the same country? Will the change of leadership affect the end result? Is it on Xbox One?

As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments below, including which Japanese cars you would like to see included in FH6.

Le Mans Ultimate is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, ELMS DLC starts to arrive in September and the Le Mans Virtual Series is set to return, with qualifying starting later this year.

That’s a big dump of headline news for LMU drivers, oh and there’s going to be an in-game livery shop. Join John Munro and Thomas Harrison-Lord as they break down the latest updates, not forgetting that a career mode should arrive in early 2026.

The console porting deal is said to be in the “late state negotiations” with development work set to commence in the “coming weeks”.

It all comes from Motorsport Games and Studio 397 CEO Stephen Hood, who dropped the updates during a positive earnings call where a second successive quarter of profit was recorded for the once floundering outfit.

Le Mans Ultimate PS5 and Xbox development could “begin in weeks”:

Assetto Corsa EVO’s delayed 0.2 update is here, and while the title is resolutely still in early access, we can’t help but feel that the time needed to hit Version 1.0 will be longer than expected…

Here, John Munro and Thomas Harrison-Lord of Traxion talk through their recent Assetto Corsa EVO experiences, and run through the undoubted highlights, and also, what isn’t quite working… yet, at least.

Be sure to let us know your EVO thoughts on social media, and we’re still excited to see its hopeful redemption arc through 2025 and beyond!

The new official NASCAR 25 video game has a release date - October 14th 2025.

Produced by iRacing and developed by Monster Games (with iRacing’s assets), it will hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in just under three months from now, with a date for PC (Steam) yet to be confirmed.

With gameplay footage thin on the ground, and a lot of hyperbole in iRacing’s communications, join John Munro and Thomas Harrison-Lord as they discuss their expectations for the game and what you need to know so far!

BeamNG has new rally content, Gran Turismo 7 a van and F1 25 has finally been unveiled - plus, your F1 25 opinions discussed.

Here, we discuss what we think Gran Turismo 7 should do for its next update, if BeamNG.drive will ever be finished (nope) and what we made of the initial F1 25 news, followed by the community's opinion too. Safe to say, it's been mixed...

We'll be back once a month with a new episode.
