The wait is over — Forza Horizon 6 is coming in 2026, and this time the series is heading to Japan. The news was revealed during Xbox’s Tokyo Game Show broadcast, along with a teaser trailer.
Why Japan?
Fans have asked for Japan for years, and Playground Games is finally delivering. The country’s mix of car culture, city life, and natural beauty makes it the perfect setting. From neon-lit Tokyo streets to mountain roads and rural towns, the game aims to capture the feel of Japan rather than recreate it one-to-one.
Authentic Touches
A cultural consultant is helping guide the look and atmosphere of the world. Expect details like cherry blossoms in spring, snowy winters, and the unique sounds of Japanese streets to make the experience feel real.
Car Culture
Japan’s influence on car culture is massive, from drifting to street builds. Forza Horizon 6 will celebrate that, bringing a fresh lineup of fan favorites along with local icons.
Release Plans
Forza Horizon 6 will launch in 2026 on Xbox and PC, with a PlayStation 5 version coming later. More details are expected early next year, but fans can already add it to their wishlist on Xbox and Steam.
