Forza Horizon 6 Launches Early Access for Xbox Series X|S and PC — When Does Forza Horizon 6 Come Out
when does forza horizon 6 come out? Right now, as Premium Edition Early Access rolls out around the world on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Players with the Premium Upgrade through Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass are in the first wave too, with Series 1 starting the game’s first post-launch rewards cycle.
Welcome to Japan
Series 1 is called Welcome to Japan, and it puts 10 cars in the Festival Playlist for players who unlock it by earning their first Wristband at the Horizon Festival. That lock opens in the first few hours of gameplay, so access to the playlist comes quickly rather than after a long grind.
For a launch built around a new setting, that matters more than the usual rollout fluff. Japan is the featured backdrop for the playlist content, and Forza Horizon 6 adds new challenge types alongside weekly rewards, races, stunts, and photo challenges.
Mazda Furai on the line
The 2008 Mazda Furai is the clearest prize in the first series, available for 60 PTS from May 21 to June 18. Its reward window is narrow, and the car itself carries a modified 450-horsepower 20B 3-rotor Wankel engine, which makes it the kind of giveaway that will pull completion-minded players into the weekly loop.
Series 1 also lists the 2010 Nissan 370Z as a reward car, while Series 2 is already named Horizon Decades. The Time Attack Car Pack adds 8 new cars tuned for Japanese circuits, giving the launch a second layer of progression for players who want more than the base playlist.
Car Pass and Premium tiers
Car Pass comes bundled with the Forza Horizon 6 Deluxe and Premium Editions and with the Premium Upgrade, but it is also sold separately. That split keeps the launch economy simple: premium buyers get the fastest route into the first wave of content, while everyone else can still buy into the add-on path later.
The practical move for players is straightforward. Premium Edition owners, Premium Upgrade buyers, and eligible Game Pass subscribers can start now; everyone else is looking at the standard rollout, while the first playlist rewards are already live and the 60-PTS Mazda Furai sits inside the opening window.
