Forza Horizon 6 opens pre-sales at a discount and reveals Japan as a new setting
The pre-sale of Forza Horizon 6 has officially started with an aggressive offer on the digital market. Jogadores can now purchase the title with a 33% discount through partner platforms before the global launch scheduled for May 19, 2026. The game arrives on Xbox Series X|S computers and consoles with a completely renewed visual and mechanical proposal. Compradores of the most expensive version guarantees early access to the servers from May 15th, allowing you to explore the new map days before the general public.
Japão as main map with unprecedented scale
The big news of the edition is the confirmation of Japão as the main scenario. Producer Playground Games recreated Japanese geography on the largest scale ever seen in the series, ranging from the skyscrapers of Tóquio’s center to quiet rural roads. The Monte Fuji marks its presence on the horizon as a constant reference point during travel. Regiões with thick snow, sunny beaches and elevated express highways complete a diverse environment that changes the dynamics of open-world driving.

The transition between these areas occurs seamlessly, without loading screens that interrupt the player’s immersion. The dynamic weather system has received major updates to accurately reflect Japanese seasons. Tempestades sudden changes affect drivers’ visibility, while the accumulation of water drastically alters the grip of the asphalt on urban roads. The passage of time modifies the behavior of local traffic and turns on the characteristic lighting of Asian metropolises at night.
Garagem with more than 550 vehicles and renewed physics
The title debuts with a robust garage containing over 550 licensed cars. The focus of this edition falls heavily on the Japanese automotive industry and its historical legacy, with classic models from the nineties sharing space with modern high-tech supercars. The tuning culture, very strong in the Asian country, gained expanded customization tools in virtual workshops.
The driving physics have undergone a complete overhaul to deliver more precise control responses. Vehicle weight and aerodynamics now have a direct influence on high-speed corners. The suspension and tire contact with the ground respond differently to each type of terrain found on the map. Tóquio’s wet asphalt requires early braking, while dirt roads require constant traction control to avoid skidding.

The game is sold in three different packages to serve different consumer profiles. Quem pre-purchases any edition and receives the Ferrari J50 as an exclusive bonus for the garage.
