It was previously revealed that Forza Horizon 6 would launch sometime in 2026 , although an official launch date has yet to be revealed beyond that. However, the release date for the next instalment in the open-world racing game series has been reportedly spotted inside Forza Horizon 5, of all places. According to @XBOXF10 on X , an in-game pop-up appeared in Forza Horizon 5 after leaving the garage that presented a pre-order offer for Forza Horizon 6. The aforementioned pre-order offer would grant early access to Forza Horizon 6 and allow players to "play 4 days early starting May 15," suggesting that the official release for Forza Horizon 6 is on May 19.

Incidentally, the pre-order bundle would also give players access to two post-launch expansions, a welcome pack, a VIP membership, and the Car Pass and Time Attack Car Pass. Pre-orderers will also receive an exclusive pre-tuned Ferrari J50 when Horizon 6 launches. The screenshot also reveals that Forza Horizon 6 will have a total of 550 vehicles and claims that Horizon 6 will have the biggest open world of any Forza game to date.
