It will arrive in early 2026 which is not really far away.
Forza Horizon 6:-
Forza Horizon 6 continues the series' festival-style open-world racing experience where players drive a wide variety of licensed cars across a large, navigable map while participating in races, stunts, challenges, and live seasonal events as well. This game promises fans a mix of dense urban streets, coastal highways, rural mountain roads, and culturally recognisable landmarks like festival places in Japan, but in fiction obviously. The extensive car customization, varied event types, and multiplayer features remain the expected core. Playground Games is leading the project with technical and series support from Turn 10 Studios.
Basic details:-
The game is developed primarily by Playground Games with collaboration from Turn 10 Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios / Microsoft. Playground has not disclosed a public development budget or a precise start date for development of this game. Large, modern 'AAA' entries in this franchise typically involve multiple years of development and multi-studio support.
System requirements for PC:-
Official PC minimum or recommended specs for this game have not been fully published by the developers at the time of announcement. The Steam store listing and prediction sites currently show placeholder or community-predicted specifications; some prediction pages suggest using modern mid-range hardware like 16 GB RAM and GPUs in the RTX 20/30 series or GTX 1070/1660 class as a baseline, and Steam's product page is live for wishlisting but does not present final official minimum or recommended system requirements. It is highly suggested for the users to treat any non-developer site numbers as provisional until the studio posts the official specs.
Announcement and Release Details:-
Forza Horizon 6 was officially revealed during Microsoft/Xbox presentations tied to the 'Tokyo Game Show' on 25 September 2025. The game is targeted for launch in 2026.
