Preorders opened today for limited edition Xbox accessories celebrating Forza Horizon 6's Japanese setting, featuring transparent cyan designs and custom audio that blends racing engine sounds with game interface feedback.
The controller and headset collection draws directly from Japan's winding mountain Touge roads and street racing culture through vibrant color schemes of cyan blue, volt green, and hot pink accents. Xbox calls the controller "one of the most vibrant" it has ever released, with a map-like pattern across its faceplate and silver metallic D-pad that references the Horizon Festival's global race circuit.
Both accessories launch on May 19 alongside Forza Horizon 6 itself, giving players time to gear up before exploring the game's Japanese landscapes.
The controller features textured rubber grips with diamond patterns on its sides and back, while the headset incorporates racetrack-inspired graphics on its ear cups. A unique audio experience sets the headset apart with custom sound effects that mix a Japanese V8 engine roar with Forza Horizon 6 user interface feedback during basic operations like powering on or muting the microphone. This pit crew-inspired design element creates immersive transitions between gaming sessions and actual gameplay.
Pricing appears consistent across major retailers at $89.99 for the controller and approximately $135-170 for the headset depending on region and retailer. Microsoft offers direct orders through its official store with free shipping options available.
Third-party accessory maker 8BitDo contributes a matching charging dock priced at $34.99 that ships worldwide beginning June 8. The dock includes a 1100mAh rechargeable battery pack with magnetic alignment and protection against overcharging or overheating.
Battery performance estimates suggest approximately 40 hours of gameplay from the controller before recharging becomes necessary, while the headset should deliver around 20 hours of continuous use per charge cycle.
The collection represents Microsoft's latest marketing push for Forza Horizon 6 following recent reveals about map seasons and environmental details for the Japan-based racing title.
