Rumor: Next Forza Horizon Game Could Be Announced Soon

Leaked documents suggest fans may get their first look at Forza Horizon 6 during this year’s Tokyo Game Show. It has been nearly four years since the last Forza Horizon release, the longest gap in the franchise’s history. That wait might finally end, with rumors hinting at a major reveal just weeks away.

The previous game in Xbox’s open-world racing series was a huge success. After Microsoft decided to expand the franchise to Sony consoles, Forza Horizon 5 became the PS5’s best-selling title of 2025 so far. With such strong results, a follow-up reveal this year seems very likely.

Playground Games May Showcase Forza Horizon 6 at TGS 2025

According to a report from Windows Central, internal documents suggest developer Playground Games could reveal Forza Horizon 6 at the Tokyo Game Show 2025. Earlier leaks hinted that the game might be set in Japan. If true, TGS would be a fitting venue for the announcement.

While the initial leak only mentioned the inclusion of Japanese cars, fans speculated about Japan as the setting. An official reveal in Tokyo would lend credibility to those theories and satisfy long-time requests for the location.

Tokyo Game Show: A Perfect Stage for the Reveal

TGS is one of the largest gaming events in the world. Last year’s show attracted more than 270,000 visitors. If Forza Horizon 6 does appear there, the announcement will happen very soon. Tokyo Game Show 2025 begins on September 25, 2025.

For now, nothing is confirmed, and Forza Horizon 6’s presence at TGS remains a rumor. Still, given the success of the last game, Playground Games likely has ambitious plans for the franchise. While Forza Motorsport seems to have wrapped up, the Horizon series appears to be racing full speed ahead. Fans of open-world racing games have exciting months to look forward to.
