Get ready to rev your engines, because Forza Horizon 6 is set to make its debut in May! This highly anticipated racing game will be available on Xbox Series X/S and PC starting May 19th, as confirmed by Playground Games during their recent Developer Direct showcase. But here’s where it gets exciting: if you opt for the Premium Edition and place your preorder, you'll gain early access and can hit the tracks from May 15th. Additionally, fans of PlayStation can look forward to playing it on PS5 later this year.
What makes this installment particularly thrilling is that it features the largest map ever created for a Forza Horizon game. During the live stream event, Playground Games showcased a variety of stunning environments that players can explore, ranging from bustling cityscapes to breathtaking natural surroundings. Moreover, players will have an impressive selection of over 550 cars available at launch—this is a record number for any Forza Horizon title at its initial release.
The excitement around Forza Horizon 6 has been building since its announcement last September, when Xbox and Playground Games revealed that the game would take players on a thrilling adventure across Japan in 2026. Art director Don Arceta highlighted the significance of this setting, stating, "For a long time, Japan has been top of Horizon fans’ wish lists, so we’re excited to finally be bringing this much-requested location to players in Forza Horizon 6," in an interview with Xbox Wire at that time.
