Japan at full speed in Cloud Gaming

Forza Horizon 6 is set to rev up its engines in one of the locations most eagerly anticipated by fans of the series: Japan. Scheduled for release on May 19, 2026, on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Playground Games promises the largest open world ever created for their Horizon franchise. Over 550 cars at launch, and a PC version optimized for ray tracing, 4K HDR, and the latest upscaling technologies. After Mexico in the previous title, we’re heading to Tokyo and its mountain roads, cherry blossoms, JDM-inspired car meets, and much more...

Is your PC ready to keep up?

An even more creative sandbox

Forza Horizon 6 isn't just about racing and exploration. The game also amplifies the series’ creative dimension. That’s where “The Estate” comes in: “The Estate” is a vast, empty mountain valley that you can develop right within the open world. Each property can feature a customizable garage, designed as a showroom where you can display your cars. That’s not all! The most interesting new feature is probably “Horizon CoLab”: real-time multiplayer building, supporting up to 12 players, where you can collaborate to design circuits and play areas.

Forza Horizon 6 isn’t just meant to be a world to explore, but a world to inhabit, modify, share, and revisit with the community.

The visual knockout of the Racing Festival

Forza Horizon has always been a technical showcase. Playground Games has announced a PC version featuring 4K HDR, an unlocked frame rate, ultrawide support, a built-in benchmark, settings that can be adjusted without restarting, a live preview of certain graphics settings, and real-time memory usage display. On the rendering side, Forza Horizon 6 supports ray-traced reflections on vehicle bodies and the environment. The game will also support: DLSS 4, FSR 4 or 3 depending on the GPU, and Intel XeSS 2.1.

With a Shadow PC, you can launch the game on day one with optimal graphics settings, without any compromises, from any PC, Mac, or even an Apple TV or iPhone! There’s only one thing left to do: launch Forza Horizon 6 via cloud gaming.
