Fans have been asking for years, and today at the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 presentation, it finally became official: Forza Horizon is heading to Japan, with the reveal of Forza Horizon 6. The reveal arrived via a short teaser, so concrete details are limited for now. Xbox confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will launch first on Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2026.
As someone who has been among the many asking for a Japanese setting, I am thrilled. Japan is the birthplace of drifting and home to stunning landscapes. From neon city streets to winding mountain passes, the potential for memorable racing is massive. I cannot wait to see how Playground Games brings it to life.
Being a car buff myself, I’ve always dreamed of racing down Japan’s streets in a Skyline R34 GT-R. While I know that’s never going to happen in real life, I’ve always lived that dream through video games. And with Forza Horizon finally going to Japan, you can bet that’s the first car I’m hopping in. Well, that and hopefully the game has my 2022 Stinger GT AWD in the game, because my god would that be fun.
