Forza Horizon 6 brings the open world of Japan to life with stunning visuals—but sometimes all that detail can make it hard to see the important stuff, like roads, signs, and obstacles. That’s where High Contrast Mode comes in. Introduced in May 2026, this new accessibility feature simplifies the screen and helps you focus on the gameplay without missing key objects. Here’s how to turn it on and tweak it for your needs.

How to Enable High Contrast Mode

  1. Open the Pause Menu
    While exploring Japan or at a Horizon Festival site, press the Menu button on Xbox or Esc on PC.
  2. Navigate to Settings
    Select the Settings tile from the menu tabs.
  3. Select Accessibility
    Scroll down the sidebar to Accessibility. This section contains all the new visual aids and assistive options.
  4. Toggle High Contrast Mode
    Find High Contrast Mode and switch it to On.
  5. Customise the Calibration (Optional)
    Forza Horizon 6 gives you granular control over the mode. You can adjust:
    • Background Saturation – Lower the saturation of the environment to make roads, objects, and other interactive elements stand out.
    • Highlight Colours – Assign bright, easy-to-see colours to key objects. For example:
      • Roads → bold blue
      • Trees → bright green
      • Signage → high-visibility orange
  6. Save and Exit
    Press X on Xbox or Enter on PC to confirm and save your settings.

Quick System-Level Shortcuts

If you want your entire game interface to follow your device’s high-contrast settings, make sure they’re enabled at the system level:

  • Xbox Console
    Go to Profile & system → Settings → Accessibility → High contrast and select a theme.
  • Windows PC
    Press Left Alt + Left Shift + Print Screen to quickly toggle high contrast on or off.

High Contrast Mode makes it easier to spot roads, objectives, and environmental cues in Forza Horizon 6. Whether you’re racing through Tokyo streets or drifting along mountain passes, this feature helps you focus on the action without visual confusion.

Release Info: Forza Horizon 6 officially launches worldwide on 19 May 2026, with Early Access starting 15 May 2026 for Premium Edition players.
