The latest installment in the popular Forza Horizon series, Forza Horizon 6, is generating a lot of excitement from both longtime fans and new players. Like previous games, it features gorgeous open-world environments, amazing cars, and both solo and multiplayer racing. A recent preview shown by the developers at Playground Games during the Xbox Developer Direct has only increased anticipation for the game’s release.
Forza Horizon 6 returns to the Horizon Festival, challenging players to become a racing legend in a brand new location: Japan. The game features a beautifully detailed recreation of Japan, with realistic touches like cherry blossoms that react to speeding cars. Players can explore open-world roads based on real locations, including Tokyo. Developers are calling this the largest Forza Horizon game to date.
When Forza Horizon 6 Releases On PC And Consoles
This Release Is Just Around The Corner
I’m so excited – we don’t have to wait much longer to drive around Japan! Forza Horizon 6 is coming out on May 19, 2026, and it’ll be available on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and even through the cloud. It’s mostly a digital release, but thankfully there will be a physical copy for Xbox Series X/S on launch day, which is great for collectors like me!
The game is planned to release on PlayStation 5 in late 2026, and you can add it to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store today.
