Forza Horizon 6 officially comes out on May 19, 2026, and yes, it will be on Xbox Game Pass; however, it will be limited to a particular tier of subscription. The upcoming game, set in the much-awaited world of Japan and full of racing culture references from around the country, will be available on Xbox Series X/ S and PC on launch, with a release on PlayStation 5 coming later this year.

Here’s everything you need to know about Forza Horizon 6 coming to Game Pass, from confirming its availability to which specific plans include the game.

Forza Horizon 6 On Game Pass

Forza Horizon 6 will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day one. Developed by Playground Games, it officially comes out on May 19, 2026, and both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers will be able to download and play the Standard Edition at no additional cost from launch day itself.

The release of Forza Horizon 6 as a day-one title is no surprise, thanks to Microsoft’s long-standing tradition of releasing first-party titles directly into Game Pass on day one, making it one of the best deals in gaming for Forza fans who don’t want to pay the full retail price of $69.99 for the Standard Edition.

Additionally, for Game Pass Ultimate members, gamers will also have access to Forza Horizon 6 via Xbox Cloud Gaming, meaning you can stream the game on supported devices without needing to download it at all.

For those who want to play the game early, there is an option to purchase the Premium Upgrade, which unlocks a four-day early access starting May 15, 2026, along with additional content, including, but not limited to, VIP Membership, Car Pass, Welcome Pack, two post-launch expansions, and more.
