Forza Horizon 6 officially released for everyone

While Premium Edition buyers have enjoyed access since May 15th via Advanced Access (Early Access), the standard worldwide release launches today. An additional version of the video game for the PS5 has been announced for later in 2026.

Known as a reliable online key seller, Instant Gaming boasts a 4.7 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot based on over 820,196 reviews.

Physical option and system requirements
Gamers who prefer a physical boxed copy for their shelf can find the Forza Horizon 6 Standard Edition on Amazon. The game requires roughly 157 GB of storage space. Additionally, a hotfix was rolled out for the PC version on May 18th to address a bug that caused loading errors with player profiles during startup. Even before yesterday’s release, the next-gen racer has put up significant sales and player counts.
Early sales performance and reception
Reports indicate that the early access period alone generated more than $140 million in revenue worldwide. The racing game currently holds an exceptional Metacritic score of 92, earning it the coveted “Must-Play” award. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma congratulated the development team at Playground Games on X (formerly Twitter) for the highly successful launch and for hitting this major milestone within the franchise.
