Forza Horizon 6 Release Date Potentially Leaks In FH5 - XboxEra

An in-game pop-up spotted in Forza Horizon 5 appears to have revealed Forza Horizon 6’s launch plan. While the image is circulating online, XboxEra notes it and other outlets have been unable to reproduce the pop-up, so treat the details as unconfirmed until official news arrives.

What the alleged pop-up claims:

• Early access begins May 15 for Premium Upgrade owners
• Standard edition launches May 19

Reported Premium Upgrade contents:

• Early Access (play 4 days early starting May 15)
• VIP Membership
• Welcome Pack
• Car Pass
• Time Attack Car Pack
• Italian Passion Car Pack (post-launch)
• Two premium expansions (post-launch)

Pre-orders are said to include an exclusive tuned Ferrari J50, which some speculate could be the cover car, though that has not been confirmed.

The game is set to be showcased at the upcoming Xbox Developer Direct, with a first look at gameplay, new features, and how the long-requested Japan setting comes to life.

Bottom line: the timing aligns with prior expectations, but nothing is official until Microsoft confirms it. Keep an eye on the Developer Direct for definitive details.
