Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan, continues the franchise’s commitment to accessibility by offering comprehensive sign language support. Both American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) are available, making the game inclusive for Deaf and Hard of Hearing players. Thanks to Xbox Play Anywhere and cross-save functionality, any accessibility settings you choose on one platform carry over seamlessly to the other.
Available Sign Language Features
Forza Horizon 6 builds on the foundation of its predecessor, ensuring a consistent experience across PC and Xbox:
- Supported Languages: ASL and BSL are fully supported.
- Picture-in-Picture (PiP): An on-screen interpreter appears during cinematic cutscenes, translating dialogue in real time.
- Customisable Display: Players can move the interpreter around the screen and change the background color—or choose transparency—to make the PiP video easy to see against any in-game environment.
- Granular Accessibility: Sign language options are tucked into the Accessibility Menu rather than standard Language settings, giving precise control over how the feature works.
PC vs Xbox: Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Xbox Series X | PC (Windows / Steam) |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Available at launch | Available at launch |
| Cross-Platform Sync | Settings sync via Cloud Saves | Settings sync via Cloud Saves |
| Interpreter Quality | Consistent 4K/60fps on Series X | Scaleable based on PC hardware |
| Customisation | Position and background color adjustable | Position and background color adjustable |
Platform-Specific Considerations
- Performance Impact: On PC, the PiP video may slightly affect performance if your GPU is running at its limits, but modern graphics cards generally handle it without any issues.
- Visibility: PC players are often closer to their monitors, making it easier to see the interpreter. Xbox players on large TVs can combine Granular High Contrast Mode with sign language support to ensure the interpreter stands out.
Whether you’re on PC or Xbox, Forza Horizon 6 ensures that Deaf and Hard of Hearing players enjoy the game without compromise. The sign language features are thoughtfully integrated, fully customizable, and synced across platforms, making this the most accessible Horizon title yet.
