Forza Horizon 6 shifts the game's narrative mode to introduce new qualifying races, with players starting off as tourists of Japan that have to prove their mettle before they can dive into the bigger races. Players will have their own home base that can be customized with new buildings that can also be visited by other players, building upon Forza's social gameplay offerings. Car Meets are also coming to Forza Horizon 6, a feature that is grounded in Japanese car culture's Daikoku car meet.

Xbox has confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will launch with 550 different cars on day one, including the cover cars the 2025 GR GT Prototype and the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Xbox, Playground Games, and Turn 10 studios have not yet confirmed an exact release date for the PlayStation release of the game, though they did confirm that it would be later in 2026.
