Inside the experience.
Arrive as a tourist
The journey starts before you qualify for the Horizon Festival. Progress toward Horizon Legend status while discovering Japan’s roads and recording your travels in the Collection Journal.
A varied driving landscape
The launch announcement describes dense urban areas, rural scenery and a world with more verticality. More than 550 cars were listed at launch.
Check platform timing
The May 19, 2026 launch announcement covers Xbox Series X|S and PC. It describes PS5 as coming later in 2026; that announcement alone does not establish its exact date.
GO ONE LEVEL DEEPER
The player’s field guide.
Your road trip starts before the Festival. Separate exploration, progression and platform availability when planning where to play.
Tourist to Horizon Legend
You arrive as a tourist, qualify for the Horizon Festival and work toward Legend status. Progression is presented as a journey through Japan, rather than starting as an established Festival champion.
The Collection Journal
The Collection Journal records discoveries. It gives exploration a place alongside competitive driving, so a session can focus on finding something new instead of only winning races.
Cars and landscape
The launch announcement lists more than 550 cars and a map combining urban density, countryside and verticality. That is a launch figure, not a permanently fixed current car count.
Platform availability
The May 19 announcement covers Xbox Series X|S and PC, with PS5 described as coming later in 2026. That dated announcement does not establish the exact PS5 release day; consult newer publisher updates before buying.
