Dominik Bošnjak is a freelance writer from Croatia. He has been writing about games for as long as he can remember and is sure he began doing so professionally in 2010 or thereabouts. If he was forced to pick a favorite genre, he’d go with RPGs, but he wasn’t, so he didn’t.
Forza Horizon 6 is now official, having been announced at Tokyo Game Show 2025. While not much has been revealed about the project just yet, its reveal confirmed several recent rumors about the next Forza Horizon game.
Chief among those is the setting of Forza Horizon 6, which leaked online back in August 2025, when Australian car importer Cult and Classics prematurely shared that Playground Games was scanning some Kei cars for its next FH entry. Since these miniature motor vehicles originated in Japan, car enthusiasts took that to mean the Forza Horizon 5 sequel would be set in the Far Eastern country.
Forza Horizon 6 Confirms Japan Setting and Release Window
The assumption has now been proven correct after Forza Horizon 6 was officially announced as part of the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Broadcast. The September 25 event yielded a brief CGI teaser that established the game’s setting by showcasing a garage full of Japan-specific imagery, then transitioned into a landscape shot of Mount Fuji. No gameplay was shown, but Microsoft did share the Forza Horizon 6 release window, committing to launching it in 2026.
Forza Horizon 6 will initially launch on the Xbox Series X/S and PC. A PlayStation 5 version is also in the pipeline, Microsoft said. The upcoming series entry was rumored to be coming to Sony’s current-gen console ever since Forza Horizon 5 found tremendous success on the PS5, selling 2 million copies within months of its late April 2025 debut.
