Potential Release Date for Forza Horizon 6

Forza Horizon 6 Shifts to Early 2026 Release in Japan, Diversifying Gameplay and Avoiding GTA6 Clash

According to insider Nate the Hate, Forza Horizon 6 is expected to launch in the first half of 2026, a departure from previous installments that typically released between September and November. The game, revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2025, will be set in Japan, featuring environments ranging from bustling Tokyo streets to mountain roads, highways, and rural areas. This diverse setting aims to offer varied driving experiences, including drifting and urban racing. While the initial release will be for PC and Xbox Series S/X, a PlayStation 5 version is planned, though its release date remains unknown. The 2026 release avoids a clash with Grand Theft Auto 6, scheduled for November 2026. However, Playground Games is also developing Fable, which is set to release in 2026; the demands of this project could potentially impact the development pace of Forza Horizon 6. Forza Horizon 6 is poised to offer a fresh open-world experience, blending diverse driving styles within the rich setting of Japanese culture, and could arrive sooner than anticipated. Xbox is expected to announce specific timing soon.
