Get ready for an exciting announcement, Forza Horizon fans! The highly anticipated release date for Forza Horizon 6 has been revealed, and it's sooner than you think!
Just hours before the Xbox Developer Direct, we've received confirmation that Forza Horizon 6 will be hitting our screens on May 19, 2026. But here's where it gets controversial... a recent screenshot, now verified by a reliable source, has shed light on some early access perks and a potential physical release.
Forza Horizon 6's release date is set in stone, but the real buzz is around the early access opportunity. Players who opt for the Premium Edition will get a head start, with access to the game as early as May 15, 2026 - a full 4 days before the official launch! This exclusive early access feature is a game-changer for many fans, allowing them to dive into the new world of Forza Horizon before anyone else.
The Standard Edition of Forza Horizon 6 is priced at a reasonable €69.99 in Europe and $69.99 in the US, offering a great value for racing enthusiasts. However, the physical release of the game for Xbox Series X is an intriguing twist. While only available for the Standard Edition, it's a welcome option for those who prefer physical copies. The physical release date aligns with the digital launch, ensuring a seamless experience for all players.
And this is the part most people miss: the Premium Edition bonuses! Players who choose this edition will receive a VIP Membership, a Welcome Pack, a Car Pass, and a Time Attack Car Pack. These bonuses are a great incentive for early adopters and add even more value to the Premium Edition. But the real question is, will these bonuses be enough to convince players to pre-order right away?
In other news, there's been some speculation about the availability of Forza Horizon 6 on PlayStation 5, and we've got the details for you. Additionally, if you're curious about the game's new location, we've got an article just for that!
