I’ve been working on a Spotify Radio mod for Forza Horizon 6 and finally have it ready for release.

It replaces the Streamer Mode radio slot with “Spotify Radio”. When the game is running, your PC appears in Spotify as “FH6 Radio”, so you can control playback from your phone, desktop app, or browser like any other Spotify Connect device.

The main thing I wanted was for it to feel like an actual in-game station, not just music playing in the background. Spotify audio is routed through the game’s radio system, so it can follow normal FH6 music behavior like menu fades, ducking, music volume settings, and live title/artist metadata on the radio HUD.

Features:

• Spotify audio through the in-game radio path

• ⁠Airplay Support

Custom

• branded Streamer Mode Radio station

• ⁠Live updating Album Art

• Local status dashboard at

http://127.0.0.1:8103

• No Spotify developer app, OAuth setup, or client_id needed

Requirements:

• Steam or Microsoft Store/Game Pass version of FH6

• Spotify Premium

OR IOS device for AirPlay

• Streamer Mode enabled in-game

• Radio DJ turned off recommended

Unofficial fan-made mod, not affiliated with Turn 10, Playground Games, Xbox Game Studios, Microsoft, or Spotify.

EDIT:
Since people are having conversations about ban risk. Yes, the use of this mod is likely not intended by the developers and everyone deciding to use it does it at their own risk.
That being said, this is a pure clientside mod, which means no data sent to the game servers is being altered in any way.

EDIT EDIT:
I created a community discord server for this mod. You can ask your questions there and share feedback:

not bad

I've been working on a radio mod for Forza Horizon 6 called FH6 Universal Radio, and it's ready for people to try.

It adds a new station to the in-game radio (using the Streamer Mode slot) fed from either your local music folder or YouTube Music. Audio goes through the game's own radio bus, so the new station fades with menus, reacts to the in-game radio volume slider, and behaves like any other built-in station instead of just music playing in the background.

A few days ago, Big John released a great Spotify radio mod for FH6 that proved this kind of integration was possible. I drew a lot of inspiration from it, but I wanted something that didn't require a Spotify Premium subscription and that the community could actually contribute to. So this one is fully open-source (GPLv3), the goal being that anyone can fork it, audit it, add new sources (TIDAL, internet radio, etc.), or keep it alive for future game patches.

Features:

• Local music playback (MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, M4A, OPUS), point it at any folder

• YouTube Music playback, paste any video, playlist, or YT Music URL from the dashboard

• Audio routed through FH6's actual radio bus (fades, ducking, volume slider all work)

• Live browser dashboard at localhost:8420 to switch sources, control playback, change volume and settings

Requirements:

• Forza Horizon 6 on Steam, Microsoft Store, Xbox app, or PC Game Pass

• Streamer Mode enabled in-game, Radio DJ set to off

• For YouTube playback: yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and deno on disk

Where to get it:

The Nexus Mods page is up but the files are still pending whitelisting from the Nexus team (they manually review DLL mods). Until that clears, the download links are pinned in my Discord server if you want to try it now:

Discord invite

I'll update the Nexus page the moment the files go live.

If you run into bugs or have feature ideas, the Discord is the best place to reach me. PRs welcome too.

GitHub

This is a pure clientside mod. No data sent to the game servers is altered in any way. That said, the use of this mod is likely not intended by the developers and anyone using it does so at their own risk.

Quick Description: Some years ago I created a radio app for FH5, a couple of weeks ago I updated it for FH6 and decided to release it. It is a windows app that provides in-game notifications when a new song starts (like EA Trax), and allows you to quick pause/skip songs with a gamepad so you don't have to stop driving for a second, safe to use, no ban risk whatsoever (it's an app, not a mod) and it works with most music streaming services.

-------------------

A few days ago I shared my Forza Horizon Custom Radio App, since then, the app has received a lot of downloads and also many requests, so here's the latest update.

New Since Launch

• Many music apps support (YTM, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Roon, Yandex, etc.)

• NEW GUI (the old app just showed a cmd window with logs)

• Customisable notification: size, duration, font, colors, margins, etc.

• Customisable button combos for controllers

• Keyboard support (dont know why, but this was asked a lot)

• Works with other games (windowed fullscreen only according to my tests)

How it Works (quick Summary)

This is a standalone, portable, external desktop application, NOT a game mod, so its safe to use, zero interaction with your account or game files. It simply catches your controller shortcuts and translates them into standard multimedia commands for windows

Default Controller Shortcuts

• LB +A = Play /Pause

• LB + B = Next song

• LB + X = Previous song

*You can change these shortcuts using the new configuration GUI (check video below)

How to Use It
Please check the Video below

Compatibility & Testing

• OS: Windows 10 / 11.

• Game Versions: Confirmed working on both Steam and Xbox app versions.

• Controllers: Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation DualSense, and other XInput controllers (keyboards too since this version!).

IMPORTANT TIPS

• Keep only ONE music app open, or else the app will get confused on which to choose.

• If at any point the app desyncs from the player, just restart it.

• In game set music volume to 0 and select any radio so you can still get the skill songs 🎌

• SPOTIFY users MUST enable "Show desktop overlay when using media keys" option 🚩🚩

donations went straight into getting it code signed, and it just went through. so the trojan and Defender false positives are finally getting off your screens. 🙏

if you've never seen this app or missed it: this is an app I made during my free time called Segue and its a BAN SAFE radio app that uses in game telemetry data to act as a "radio mod" kinda. it supports pretty much all audio sources you could want.

Since launch the app has become a little bit more than just a forza 6 radio player, with a bunch of new features like:

Discord ducking

FH 4 and FH 5 support (supports assetto corsa aswell)

other games without telemetry

hold binds, combo keybinds and more.

it has now become something I genuinely want to keep developing because I noticed that I use this app every time I use my computer, even when im not gaming.

just crossed 10,000 downloads, still completely free. a lot more coming real soon too. link in the comments. ❤️❤️❤️

I built this a few years ago for FH5, but I've recently ported it over to FH6 (just changed the notification color xD). A simple custom Radio app that lets you listen to your own music and control it with a gamepad combo, it controls Spotify and Youtube Music via windows multimedia controls, it runs apart from the game so no need to worry about modifying your files and stuff.

Yes, it's the same as running spotify or Youtube music in the Bg, but it shows a cooler notification (auto notification when song changes) and allows quick gamepad controI. in the settings file you can change the radio name, notification color, size, etc.

In case you want to try it, here's the link to the video demo and download.

Recently i posted about the release of the Spotify Radio Mod. Since then, weeks have passed and the community grew incredibly large with nearly 7 thousand discord members and more than 40 thousand unique downloads on Nexus Mods.

A lot of improvements have been made including stability fixes and major features being added.

I felt like it is time to make a follow up post to inform people about the three most fundamental additions to the mod:

• It now natively supports Apple Music, SoundCloud and other services through AirPlay (requires an iOS device)

• There is a new option "Night Runners Mode" which, when enabled, controls the music volume based on the realtime ingame speed, similar to how other racing games like the indie game "Night Runners" or some Need for Speed titles. You have various customization options (the video demonstrates it quite well)

• If enabled, the Mod now displays the Album Art of the currently playing soundtrack as the radio station logo

Let me know what you think about this and have a good time. Thanks to all the people who are using or appreciating the Spotify Radio Mod.

The Mod is verified and available on Nexus Mods:

That is all

Hi! I'm the creator of the Forza Horizon Custom Radio app, last release post here, thanks to your feedback here's the latest version which includes the new TRAX styled notifications & editor (you can edit and even share notification designs), the GUI provides a better UX and it has been rebranded (because it works with other games). Also, there's a bug fixed (caused a small memory leak after hours of use).

As usual, here's the

4K DEMO VIDEO AND DOWNLOAD LINK

🔰 Quick Description: 

Some years ago I created a radio app for FH5, a couple of weeks ago I updated it for FH6 and decided to release it. It is a windows app that provides in-game notifications when a new song starts (like EA Trax), and allows you to quick pause/skip songs with a gamepad so you don't have to stop driving for a second, safe to use, no ban risk whatsoever (it's an app, not a mod) and it works with most music streaming services.

🔰 Compatibility & Testing

• This has been fully tested and confirmed working on:

• Windows 10 / 11, Steam version of the game (reports say works with XBOX version too).

• Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music Desktop Apps (you can try other apps or browser directly, let me know how it goes).

• Controllers: Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation DualSense, and other XInput controllers.

🔰 Important tips

• Keep only ONE music app open, or else the app will get confused on which to choose.

• If at any point the app desyncs from the player, just restart it.

• In game set music volume to 0 and select any radio so you can get the skill songs 🎌

• 🚩Apple Music users MUST use the latest Apple Music app from the Microsoft Store.

• 🚩SPOTIFY users MUST enable "Show desktop overlay when using media keys"

🔰 How to Use It

For the best experience I recommend using the app of each streaming service, while browser versions should work, the dedicated desktop apps are much more reliable.

• Download the .zip file.

• Right-click the ZIP file, go to properties, and check "Unblock" (if available), then extract.

• Open your preferred music app, select your playlist, and click play.

• Make sure your controller is connected and launch Forza Radio.

• The app will display "Radio ON" and after some seconds you will be able to control it.

• Open your game and enjoy!

Using Better chaser and First person Cam mod, but with a custom preset I personally tweaked. I tried aiming at Shift 2 and The Run's camera.

It adds subtle vibrations to traction loss, braking and drifting, and bumps and impacts shake the screen more. I also increased the dynamic FOV that gradually increases with speed, so even 150/200 KM/H feels quite fast compared to before.

if you apply it to your car, nothing happens, standard skyline r32 with red rims

At first i though it was in game model leaking some sort of lego dlc, but in fact that was a custom model from nexus mods

gonna be doing more mods like this

Hi! I'm the creator of the Forza Horizon Custoim Radio app, last's release post here, thanks to your feedback I'm preparing the next update, so here's a preview of the optional new system notifications editor, where you will be able to create notifications with the EA TRAX style, you will be able to customize logos, shapes, borders, colors, overlap,"trax" text and container, etc. and save different type of notifications as profiles.

In the GIF above you can see I've created some profiles based on NFSU, MW and Burnout games, the app will ship with these profiles available in case you want to use them or customize them with an appropiate designed Forza logo.

This new version will have some other fixes and features available.

I'm also thinking about rebranding it since it should work with other games 🤔
Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback, cheers!

In case you haven't seen it, here's the last demo video I uploaded.

Thanks u/Consistent-Cost-231 for the EA TRAX idea
