Forza Horizon 6 Takes Players To Japan Next Year

Forza Horizon 6 was the main headliner of Xbox's Tokyo Game Show broadcast, which served as a fitting venue given that the next entry brings the Horizon Festival to Japan. 

Developer Playground Games released a short teaser trailer and is keeping gameplay details to a minimum; don't expect to see Forza Horizon 6 in action until early next year, according to an Xbox Wire developer interview. In the meantime, the studio teases locations such as Tokyo and Mt. Fuji, as some of the recognizable spots players will race in and around. 

Although we don't know what the vehicle roster looks like, expect Japanese car culture to play a prominent role in this entry. In Horizon tradition, seasonal weather changes will shake up the visuals while also affecting how players drive. 

Forza Horizon 6 will launch first on Xbox Series X/S (including day one on Game Pass) and PC via Windows and Steam in 2026. The game will also be released on PlayStation 5 sometime post-launch. You can read our review of the series' previous entry, 2021's Forza Horizon 5, here.
