New Delhi: Playground Games has recently released the first gameplay trailer for Forza Horizon 6. During the Xbox Developer Direct 2026, the developer also confirmed that the game will be unveiled on May 19 for Xbox Series X/S and PC. The PlayStation 5 release is planned for a later date this year. The open-world racing title is set in Japan, featuring dense urban areas along with expansive natural landscapes. The Toyota GR GT Prototype will serve as the cover car for Forza Horizon 6.
The latest announced Toyota GT GR Prototype will headline the game, while the setting draws heavily from the real-world locations in Japan. Well-known spots such as the Daikoku Parking Area and Ginkgo Avenue are stated to appear in near-authentic form. Roads inspired by the Mount Haruna mountain pass and Tokyo’s Shuto Expressway have also been adapted to suit the open-world racing format. The trailer further hints at a circuit resembling Ebisu, suggesting that the dedicated track-style driving may be part of the map. The car roster includes several Japan-focused additions, vehicles spotted in the trailer reported to include the Toyota Chaser X100, Daihatsu Copen, and Honda Beat, expanding the selection of domestic Japanese cars. Playground Games has confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will feature around 550 vehicles at launch.
Forza Horizon 6 comes with the latest systems aimed at creativity and social play. A new area called The Estate gives players control over an entire mountain valley that can be customised with structures, landscaping, and roads to create a personalised driving space that other players can visit. Garages are now customizable with visual elements such as posters and paint styles, while revamped car meet feature enables players to exchange tunes, liveries, and cars. Competitive driving also sees updates with the latest Rogue Battle mode for one-on-one races on mountain passes, along with the quality of life additions such as the ability to add windows in the livery editor.
