Recently, reliable insider NateTheHate shared information regarding the presumed release window for Forza Horizon 6. As a reminder, the game was announced a couple months ago at Tokyo Game Show 2025, with launch targeted for 2026. According to NateTheHate's information, it launches specifically in the first half of the year.
Break from Series Tradition
Notably, all previous Forza Horizon entries released during fall season. Given this fact, players wondered whether Forza Horizon 6's release window connects to the recent delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 to November 19. NateTheHate responded that developers originally planned to release Forza Horizon 6 in early 2026, so GTA has nothing to do with it.
Potential Game Awards Reveal
Whether the insider's words prove accurate remains to be seen soon. A new Forza 6 trailer may appear during The Game Awards 2025 ceremony, which starts December 12. Nevertheless, Playground Games itself hasn't announced anything yet.
Japan Setting Confirmed
Developers chose picturesque Japan as the setting for Forza Horizon 6. The game will first arrive on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store) and Xbox Series X|S, including Game Pass, with a PlayStation 5 version coming later.
