Ridge Racer 6 is a 2005 racing game by Namco released. It was the sixth console game in the Ridge Racer series following Ridge Racer V (2000), but unlike the previous mainline entries, which were released for PlayStation consoles, this entry was released exclusively as a launch title for the Xbox 360.
It is the last Ridge Racer game made by Namco as an independent company, as they would later merge with Bandai's video game division to form Namco Bandai Games in 2006. Ridge Racer 6 was followed by Ridge Racer 7 on PlayStation 3, a largely enhanced and expanded version. The game was added on the Xbox backward compatible list in November 2021 as part of the Xbox 20th anniversary, playable on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S consoles.[3]
