Forza Horizon 6 release date leaked

The leak appears to come from a Forza Horizon 6 pre-order promotion. Xbox Infinite, an Xbox-focused channel based in Saudi Arabia, has released a Forza Horizon 5 screenshot showing pre-order details for Forza Horizon 6.

According to the picture, users who pre-order the premium version of “Forza Horizon 6” will experience the game four days in advance starting on May 15. This means that the overall release date for the open-world racing game is likely to be May 19th. Citing sources, VGC also confirmed the release window for Forza Horizon 6.

Additionally, leaks indicate that Forza Horizon 6 will receive at least two premium expansion packs upon launch. In-game images show that pre-order rewards will include an exclusive Ferrari J-50 car pre-tuned in Forza Horizon 6. In addition to early access, Premium pre-orders will grant VIP membership, a welcome pack, a car pass, a timed car pack, and two post-launch bonuses, including the Italian Passion Car Pack and two premium expansion packs.

Microsoft and Playground Games have yet to announce a release date for Forza Horizon 6. However, the game will get an in-depth look at the Xbox developer direct showcase on January 22nd, as well as a first look at the gameplay. Playground may reveal the official launch date at the event.

Forza Horizon 6 released a brief trailer at the Tokyo Game Show in September. This open-world racing game is the follow-up to the hit Forza Horizon 5 and is set in Japan. The game will be released first on Xbox Series S/X and PC. Developer Playground Games has confirmed that it will bring the racing game to PS5 after launch, but has yet to reveal a specific timeline.

However, it wouldn’t be surprising if Forza Horizon 6 comes to PS5 sooner or later. Forza Horizon 5 launches on PS5 in 2025, four years after it was released on Xbox and PC. The game has reportedly sold over 5 million copies on Sony consoles.
