Recent leaks from within Forza Horizon 5 suggest Forza Horizon 6 could launch as early as May 19, 2026, with Premium Edition early access starting May 15. Screenshots shared on X by accounts like Xbox Infinite show an in-game notification in Forza Horizon 5’s garage area advertising Forza Horizon 6 preorders, including VIP membership, car passes, and expansions. The ad highlights over 550 cars and positions the game as the “biggest open world driving adventure yet,” set in Japan. Microsoft plans to showcase Forza Horizon 6 gameplay at the Xbox Developer Direct on January 22, 2026, where the release date may be officially confirmed. This aligns with earlier insider reports from Nate the Hate targeting a first-half 2026 window, shifted earlier to avoid clashing with GTA 6’s November launch.
