Forza Horizon 6 is a 2026 racing game developed by Playground Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sixth Forza Horizon title, following Forza Horizon 5, and the fourteenth main instalment in the Forza franchise. Set in a fictionalised representation of Japan, it features a stylised version of Tokyo as the game world's main city. It is scheduled to be released on 19 May 2026 for players with Standard or Deluxe editions, and was released on 15 May 2026 for players who purchased the Premium edition. It will release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S, with a release for PlayStation 5 later that year. Forza Horizon 6 is a racing game set in Japan. The game's open world map is the franchise's largest and the Tokyo City area is considered to be its "most complex and intricate drivable space", being five times larger than any other Horizon city, namely Forza Horizon 4's Edinburgh.[1] Similar to Forza Horizon 4 and 5, the game features a dynamic weather system that reflects seasonal changes.[2] Players begin as a tourist and must work their way up to qualify for the Horizon Festival, eventually rising through its ranks. The wristband progression system from previous entries, specifically the original Forza Horizon, returns. Players earn wristbands by completing races and events, unlocking better and faster cars along the way. Reaching the gold wristband grants access to Legend Island, a special area featuring unique challenges and exclusive races.[3] Playground has addressed nearly every point of feedback coming off of Forza Horizon 4 and 5. The long awaited Japan setting exceeds expectations, with a gorgeous open world packed with things to do and vistas to see.
Tokyo City is massive, and feels incredible to drive through, especially during those Street Races at night. The story actually feels like a real story, as you work your way up from an unknown driver to a Horizon Legend.
If you're a Forza Horizon fan, this is a day one no question. And the great thing about this series - you don't have to know a thing about cars to have a good time. Forza Horizon 6 makes that easy.
The game will launch with over 550 cars, all of which can be extensively customised. Players can store unlocked vehicles in one of eight garages which also serve as fast travel points. Additionally, players can unlock "the Estate", a customisable mountainside property in rural Japan which can be decorated with various items and objects.[4] As players explore the open world, they can join events such as car meets where vehicle customisations can be shared with others, street racing, and touge battles. Players can also photograph points of interest, with these shots stored as stamps in a Collection Journal.[5] "The Eliminator" battle royale game mode will again be available.
