Microsoft Leaks Forza Horizon 6 Release Date, Because Who Needs a Marketing Team Anyway?

In a move that's being hailed as either a brilliant marketing strategy or a colossal mistake, Microsoft has potentially leaked the release date of Forza Horizon 6 as May 19th, because who needs a fancy marketing team when you can just hide it in a notification in the previous game? According to a post on X, a user received a preorder notification for Forza Horizon 6 inside Forza Horizon 5, complete with details on the Premium Edition, which includes early access on May 15th, VIP membership, a welcome pack, car pass, and time attack car pack - because what's a racing game without a few dozen DLCs? The game, developed by Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios, will initially launch on Xbox and PC in 2026, with a PS5 release planned for sometime after, because Microsoft loves to keep things exclusive, except when they don't. With a setting in Japan and promises of high-speed racing action, Forza Horizon 6 is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the series, assuming Microsoft can keep the leaks to a minimum from now on.
