20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2026
6. Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 Release Date: TBD, 2026
Though the Forza Motorsport series has seen better days, the Forza Horizon spin-off franchise just keeps going from strength to strength, with the widely lauded Forza Horizon 5 even marking the series' recent debut on PS5.
And Microsoft just announced that Forza Horizon 6 is on the way next year, with developer Playground Games finally granting the wish of many fans by setting the new game in Japan.
As with prior games in the series, Horizon will eschew a 1:1 reproduction of the nation in favour of a scaled-down travelogue of iconic sights, with Tokyo and Mount Fuji already confirmed to feature.
However, the developer has stated that Horizon 6 still has the series' largest map to date, and will venture from packed city streets to spread-out rural areas.
It's reasonable to assume that Horizon's tried-and-true casual open world gameplay will remain firmly in tact here, and though it will launch exclusively on Xbox and PC to begin with, a PS5 release thereafter has already been confirmed.
