Forza Horizon 6 announced, coming to PC and Xbox in 2026

Microsoft has announced Forza Horizon 6. The game was unveiled during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Broadcast, which makes sense, because FH 6 is set in Japan.
This isn’t surprising, a Forza game set in Japan has been widely requested by the community for years. Microsoft’s Instagram account jumped the gun yesterday, and posted some ads, but they were taken down quickly. The first game in the series was set in Colorado, U.S., the second in France and Italy, the 3rd in Australia, the 4th in the U.K., and Foza Horizon 5 was set in Mexico. That makes Forza Horizon 6 the first game in the franchise to be set in Asia.
FH 6 is being developed by Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios (Forza Motorsport devs). Fans will be able to race through the streets of Tokyo City in the game, while taking part in the Horizon Festival.  The game will continue the tradition of changing seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), like the past 2 iterations in the series. Microsoft says that the game will capture Japan’s cultural essence. Unfortunately, that’s where the details end. It was basically just a name and setting reveal, and rather disappointing.
Information about Forza Horizon 6 system requirements have not been announced yet. Here’s the official teaser trailer for the game, and the announcement post.
Forza Horizon 6 will launch first on Xbox consoles and PC in 2026, the game has been listed on Steam and the Xbox store. It will be included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass at launch. The game’s Art Director, Don Arceta, says more details about FH 6 will be revealed in early 2026. That and the fact that there is no gameplay trailer seems to suggest the game may be released in the second half of the year, just like the previous games in the series were released between September to November.
Microsoft has confirmed that Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios are working on Forza Horizon 6 for PlayStation 5, which will be released later. The price of the game remains to be seen, but considering the recent Xbox price hike, and Microsoft’s intention to price games at a premium, don’t be surprised if it costs $80 or more.
