Forza Horizon 6 is likely one of the video games slated to look in subsequent week’s Xbox Direct showcase, however the launch date could have slipped out a little bit bit sooner than deliberate. And for that, you may thank Forza Horizon 5.
The four-day early entry date of Could 15 appeared in a preorder pop-up shared by XBOXF10 on X (through Wario64), which affords an “unique Ferrari J50” for anybody keen to place down their cash prematurely.

“Uncover the breathtaking landscapes of Japan in over 550 real-world vehicles and turn out to be a racing Legend in Forza Horizon’s largest open world driving journey but,” it guarantees. There’s additionally an exhortation to spring for the premium version of the sport, which incorporates:
- 4-day early entry start on Could 14

Is it legit? We all know Forza Horizon 6 is coming in 2026—the Steam web page says so—however there’s some query about this particular date. X consumer XBOXF10, who initially shared the picture, stated it appeared once they left the storage however earlier than they began taking supply of their automotive, however we (which is to say, PC Gamer information author Lincoln Carpenter, who I bullied into serving to) weren’t capable of duplicate the outcomes. Quite a few different websites, together with Polygon, The Verge, and Xbox Period have additionally tried and didn’t make the message seem.
It is potential Microsoft realized it was spilling beans and pulled the message, and it is potential XBOXF10 is simply having some enjoyable with us. For what it is value, XBOXF10 stated they had been unable to make the message seem once they tried to carry it again.
A fast look at my calendar tells me the reality will seemingly be revealed in eight days—that is January 22, when the Xbox Direct showcase rolls. Forza Horizon 6 will likely be there, as will Fable and Beast of Reincarnation. Some Elder Scrolls followers are twisting themselves into hopeful contortions that The Elder Scrolls 6 will make a shock look too.
