Forza Horizon 6 gets its full global release schedule less than a week before launch, with Early Access starting May 15 at 12:01 a.m. local time in most regions.
U.S. Xbox players get in slightly earlier by clock time—9:01 p.m. PT on May 14 for Early Access and 9:01 p.m. PT on May 18 for the full release—while Steam unlocks at 12:01 a.m. local time.
Premium Edition buyers can start racing four days before the standard launch, which arrives May 19 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Steam, with day-one access on Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox users can also use the 'New Zealand trick' by switching console region settings, potentially opening the game 12 to 16 hours earlier than U.S. local availability.
