Will Forza Horizon 6 be on Game Pass?
Forza Horizon 6 is planned for PlayStation 5, but it will arrive after the initial Xbox and PC launch. Microsoft and Playground Games have confirmed the game launches first on Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2026, with a PS5 version coming post-launch, on a later, still-unspecified date. @XboxGamePass shared on X that players can discover the breathtaking landscapes of Japan on May 19.
That staggered release is a big deal for the franchise because it continues the recent push of Forza titles onto PlayStation after years of being strictly Xbox ecosystem games. It also means PS5 players may spend a few months dodging spoilers and car list breakdowns before finally getting their hands on the Japan map.
Will Forza Horizon 6 be on Xbox One?
Forza Horizon 6 is not being released as a native Xbox One title; it is officially listed for Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Xbox store pages and announcement posts only mention current-gen consoles and Windows 10/11, which lines up with the technical jump the series is aiming for in its Japan setting.
Some players may still access it via cloud streaming on older hardware through Game Pass Ultimate, depending on region and support, but that is different from having a dedicated Xbox One version.
For those still on last-gen, this might be the point where upgrading stops being a “maybe later” and starts feeling more urgent.
Forza Horizon 6 Pre-Order
Forza Horizon 6 pre-orders are live now on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and Steam, ahead of the May 19, 2026 launch.
Players can choose between Standard, Deluxe, and Premium-style editions (often grouped as Ultimate or Premium depending on region), each stacking on more content and early access options.
A typical pattern looks like this:
-
Standard Edition: base game, included with Game Pass.
-
Deluxe Edition: adds Car Pass and a Welcome Pack with extra cars and boosts.
-
Premium/Premium Add-On: unlocks early access and expansion content on top of everything else.
A lot of Game Pass players lean toward pre-ordering only the Premium add-on, since it upgrades the subscription version into the “near-complete” package without buying the full game twice.
