Forza Horizon 6 will hit Xbox Series X/S and PC on May 19

"Forza Horizon 6 is taking the racing series to Japan for the first time, and now we know exactly when you'll be able to hit the virtual streets of Tokyo. The game will arrive on Xbox Series X/S, PC and Xbox Cloud on May 19, with an early access period commencing on May 15. That lines up with earlier reports about the release date(s) after an in-game ad supposedly appeared in Forza Horizon 5. The upcoming title will hit PS5 later this year."

"Playground Games and co-developer Turn 10 Studios offered a first look at gameplay during Thursday's Xbox Developer Direct showcase. You'll start out by working through Horizon qualifiers in order to join the Horizon Festival racing circuit, then you'll unlock faster cars and other goodies as you rise up through the ranks. In a few feature called Horizon Rush, you'll take on obstacle courses."

"Playground says this is the largest Forza Horizon game to date. This version of Tokyo, for instance, is said to be five times larger than any urban area the studio has built before and it has multiple districts. There are lots of rural areas in the game as well, and the environments are affected by seasonal changes. As has been the case in previous games, you'll be able to explore the world as you wish, either solo or with your friends."

Forza Horizon 6 launches May 19 on Xbox Series X/S, PC and Xbox Cloud with early access beginning May 15, and will arrive on PS5 later this year. The standard edition is expected to cost $70 and will be on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass; premium and deluxe editions offer early access and extras. Gameplay begins with Horizon qualifiers to join the Horizon Festival circuit, includes Horizon Rush obstacle courses, and features more than 550 cars. The game world is the largest to date with a Tokyo five times larger than previous urban areas, multiple districts, rural zones, seasonal changes, customizable player houses and garages, buildable Estate areas with multiplayer building, and new open-world car meets.
