Forza Horizon 6 is officially locked in, and the timing is no accident. Just hours before the Xbox Developer Direct, the open-world racer has been confirmed for a May 19, 2026 launch. If that feels a little too far away, the Premium Edition shaves off four days, opening the roads on May 15.

The information first leaked via a screenshot earlier this month, and Dealabs has now backed it up. Standard and Deluxe editions both arrive on May 19, while Premium buyers get early access and a bundle of extras. No surprise there, Microsoft has leaned heavily on this model in recent years, and Horizon is no exception.

Premium perks and pricing details

The Premium Edition includes a VIP Membership, Welcome Pack, Car Pass, and a Time Attack Car Pack, with more content planned after launch. The Deluxe Edition remains a mystery for now, which feels like a familiar pattern at this stage.

Forza Horizon 6 pricing lands at €69.99 in Europe and $69.99 in the US for the Standard Edition. A physical release is confirmed for Xbox Series X, but only for that base version. Pre-orders go live one hour after the Xbox Developer Direct, so expect a quick rush once the show ends.

At the time of writing, there’s still no confirmation of a PlayStation 5 version. For now, Forza Horizon 6 is lining up as a major Xbox moment, just don’t expect any surprises on that front yet.
