Microsoft has officially revealed Forza Horizon 6, the next entry in the long-running open-world arcade racing series, to release on Xbox Series S/X and PC in 2026.
Developer Playground Games confirmed that it will bring the racing title to PS5 post-launch, but did not share a timeframe.
At the Xbox Tokyo Game Show broadcast, Microsoft announced that Forza Horizon 6 will bring seasonal changes, a staple of the series since Forza Horizon 4, with spring, summer, autumn, and winter changing the entire landscape.
Following the reveal, taking to X (formerly Twitter), Microsoft Gaming President Phil Spencer said: “No better place to announce the next Forza Horizon than right here at TGS.”

The minute-long Forza Horizon 6 trailer began with license plates of different countries where previous Forza Horizon games have been set, before finally revealing a Japanese number plate and panning to the iconic Mount Fuji.
“In Forza Horizon 6, you will get to discover a scenic and breathtaking Japan, where you will build up your racing status to become a Legend at the Horizon Festival,” Playground Games said on the Forza website.
“As you already know, Japan has been one of the most iconic and requested locations by the Forza Horizon community. We are so excited for you to experience it, and we can't wait to share more details on Forza Horizon 6 early next year.”
“From the neon lights and towering buildings of Tokyo City – one of our most detailed and layered environments to date – to the serenity and natural beauty of Japan's rural and mountain areas, we think players will be blown away by the open world of Japan that we have built,” the developer added.
In Forza Horizon 6, players will work to build their reputation within the Horizon Festival in Japan, unlocking new races, events, and vehicles as they progress.
However, Forza Horizon 6 does not yet have a confirmed release date, but it is available to wishlist on the Microsoft Store and Steam.
