Several tracks from UMP Classics & Screen/Decca Publishing composers feature in Forza Horizon 6, on the game’s Opus channel – the classical radio station available to tune into during game play. The station playlist features works from composers Joep Beving, Clark, Max Richter, Isobel Waller-Bridge, Fyfe, Iskra Strings, Benjamin Rimmr and Danny & Saunder. Francisca Goncalves (Senior Vice President, Global Head of Sync, Classics, Jazz & Screen) worked closely with Microsoft to curate the track selection, with Classics & Screen and Global Classics & Jazz (UMG) collectively dominating the Opus playlist through a strong representation of composers across the two divisions.

Forza Horizon 6 is the latest release of the hugely popular racing game series. Forza Horizon 5 launched with nearly 5 million players on the first day, going on to reach 45 – 50 million players worldwide.
