Forza Horizon 6 adds Microsoft Teams horn for in-game pranks

Forza Horizon 6 has introduced a new in-game horn that mimics the Microsoft Teams meeting alert sound, much to the surprise and amusement of players. This feature, which can be unlocked through gameplay rewards, has become a popular tool for pranking other players by triggering a Teams call sound and then driving away. While the game itself is described as broadly fine and safe, this specific horn feature is highlighted as a moment of sadistic genius that adds a unique, albeit startling, element of fun to the freeroam experience.
