Playground Games has a big stage at today's Xbox Developer Direct. Not only is the studio showing off its big Fable revival, but also, it's showcasing the next entry in the open-world racing series it's best known for. Forza Horizon 6 is offering a predictably gorgeous trip to Japan, and it will indeed launch in May, just as Xbox itself leaked earlier this month.
Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X/S and PC, with the PS5 version to launch later in the year. That's the same date that appeared, seemingly accidentally, in an in-game message in Forza Horizon 5 last week.
