The game features eight player houses across Japan that serve as fast-travel points. And new to the game series is The Estate, a piece of land players can acquire and build on. Inspired by Japanese car culture, Forza Horizon 6 will add Car Meets that'll serve as social spaces for players.

Forza Horizon 6 builds hype with new features, but concerns grow as its upgrade path dampens excitement among longtime series fans.

The new grand tourer stars opposite the latest Land Cruiser.

At the first Xbox Developer Direct in 2026, Playground Games revealed the first details about Forza Horizon 6, including its release date.

Playground Games confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will launch on Xbox and PC May 19, 2026. Those who pre-order the Premium Edition will get access four days early. While there is currently no precise PlayStation 5 release date, FH6 is said to arrive "later in 2026" and can be added to PlayStation Store wishlists now.

Forza Horizon 6 has an empty homestead building space dubbed The Estate, and I'm not sure I'll use it once the game comes out on May 19th.

Forza Horizon 6 launches for PC and Xbox Series X|S on May 19 and it'll be coming to PS5 at a later date. Before it launches, you can also check out the revival of the racing game series Screamer in March, for an even more overt tribute to anime.

Your journey in FH6 starts out as a mere tourist, and you'll have to compete in the Horizon Qualifiers to start out. Then, Playground is bringing back the 'Wristband' progression system from the very first Forza Horizon game, where you'll "rise through the ranks" and "complete races and events in faster and more exciting cars" as you progress.
