Forza Horizon 6 takes the series to new heights in terms of accessibility, immersion, and relaxed gameplay. One of the most exciting additions is AutoDrive, a feature that lets the game's AI take full control of your car. Unlike the “Auto-Steering” in previous titles, AutoDrive is a complete system designed not just for accessibility, but also for letting players enjoy the sights and sounds of Japan without worrying about steering, shifting, or braking.

Customize Your Horizon Experience

Forza Horizon 6 includes the rich suite of accessibility features the Horizon series is known for and introduces some new options. AutoDrive can be accessed with ANNA by using the d-pad while you’re exploring Japan. Pause the game, open the map, set a waypoint to your preferred location, and use ANNA to initiate AutoDrive. Then you can sit back, relax and take in the breathtaking sights of Japan.

1. Hands-Free Travel

AutoDrive allows players to set a waypoint on the map and let the car navigate automatically to that location. You don't need to touch the controller—the AI handles everything from steering through tight corners to adjusting speed on highways. This is perfect for exploring Japan's mountains, forests, and neon-lit streets without worrying about traffic or controls.

2. Cinematic Mode

While AutoDrive is active, you can enter Cinematic Mode by pressing LB. This removes the user interface and introduces dynamic camera angles, turning your journey into a scenic road movie. It's a brilliant way to capture photos, record videos, or simply enjoy the world in a fully immersive way. The camera follows curves, zooms through vistas, and gives the player a sense of being on a professional driving tour.

3. Accessibility Integration

AutoDrive is part of a larger suite of accessibility tools in Forza Horizon 6. Alongside features like Proximity Radar and High Contrast Mode, AutoDrive ensures that players who may have difficulty with traditional racing controls can still fully enjoy the game. This makes the open world of Japan more inclusive, letting anyone experience its scenic routes and challenges.

4. Scenic Exploration

The Japanese setting of Forza Horizon 6 is designed to be explored. AutoDrive is perfect for taking in the environment and soundtrack without focusing on driving mechanics. Whether you want to cruise past cherry blossoms, coastal highways, or bustling city streets, AutoDrive makes it easy to enjoy every view while still feeling like part of the game world.

5. How to Activate AutoDrive

To use AutoDrive:

1. Set a Waypoint: Pause the game, open the world map, and select any location or event you wish to travel to.
2. Access ANNA: While in free-roam, use the D-pad to open the ANNA Satnav menu.
3. Engage AutoDrive: Select the "AutoDrive" option within the ANNA menu. The CPU will then take control of the vehicle and navigate to your waypoint.
4. Enter Cinematic Mode (Optional): Once AutoDrive is active, press LB on your controller to hide the UI and enable dynamic camera angles for a scenic "road movie" experience.
