Internal documents reportedly indicate a reveal of Forza Horizon 6 at the Tokyo Game Show, which aligns with a Japan setting. Industry leakers and journalists have corroborated the timing and suggested an early 2026 release window. Xbox leadership teased a major 2026 slate including a new Forza title, boosting the apparent credibility of the timeline. Multiple reputable sources have referenced a single disgruntled Xbox employee as the origin of leaked documents, introducing reliability concerns. Verification efforts by journalists appear to have increased confidence, but the single-source nature retains risk of inaccuracy.
The typically reliable NateTheHate also confirmed the information in a reply to Window's Central's tweet, and added in a later reply that he has heard the game is aiming for an early 2026 release. This ties in with what Xbox head-honcho Phil Spencer teased a huge 2026 for the brand: "I'm excited to share that players will get to celebrate 25 years of Xbox with a new Fable, the next Forza, Gears of War: E-Day, and the return of a classic that's been with us since the beginning."
Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming has also backed up the claims of official documents floating around. He also stated on X that, "There's one massively disgruntled employee at Xbox lol". I assume he's referring to the pissed off employee being the one leaking the documents. However, Henderson's words do give us a vital piece of information: this seems to be a singular source. As I'm sure you guys have already guessed, a singular source means it isn't as reliable. This could just be one asshole making things up. However, between all the reliable people reporting on this source, there's a very high likelihood that they've verified who this employee is, and if it is indeed a disgruntled Xbox employee
