So what is it?

Forza Horizon Spotify Radio is a mod for the Forza Horizon racing games that replaces the default in-game radio with a Spotify-powered station. Instead of the music built into Forza Horizon 5 or 6, you hear your own Spotify playlists while driving, displayed with Spotify branding inside the game's radio interface. The mod also supports Spotify Connect, which means you can control playback from your phone, a separate browser tab, or the Spotify desktop app, rather than only from inside the game. A small local dashboard opens in your browser and serves as a control panel. The README mentions Streamer Mode compatibility, which is relevant for people who broadcast their gameplay and want to avoid copyright strikes on tracks playing in the background. Installation requires downloading a zip archive, running the installer as Administrator on Windows 11, then connecting a Spotify Premium account and selecting the Spotify radio station inside the game. The README includes a troubleshooting table with nine common problems and their fixes, covering issues like Spotify not connecting, the dashboard not opening, and the radio station not appearing in the game. The authors state this is for personal and educational use only. A Spotify Premium subscription and a legitimate copy of Forza Horizon are required. The project carries a MIT license, and the authors note they are not responsible for bans or violations of any service terms that might result from using it. The README is focused on setup steps rather than technical or code-level detail.
