Forza Horizon 6 was revealed during Xbox’s Tokyo Game Show showcase with a cinematic trailer that confirms the long-rumored Japan setting and a release window in 2026. The game will launch first on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the PlayStation 5 version arriving later.
The trailer was short and cinematic, showcasing festival wristbands from past Horizon games and concluding with a new logo featuring Mount Fuji. No gameplay was shown, but the reveal confirms Japan as the festival region and pins the release to 2026, giving fans a clear window to expect the next chapter.
Xbox and the developers stated that the open world will encompass both urban and rural Japan, including a version of Tokyo. In a follow-up blog post on Xbox Wire the team wrote, “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.”
Platform details were confirmed, too. Forza Horizon 6 will initially be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a PlayStation 5 release to follow at a later date. Developers also stated that more information is planned for early 2026, when gameplay footage and in-depth looks are expected.
Fans who have followed the rumors will find this reveal familiar. However, it still lands with a clear promise: a festival-style Horizon game built around Japan’s varied environments and cityscapes. Want to race under Tokyo neon or tackle Mount Fuji in the snow? 🚗🔥
