Ahead of tonight's Xbox Developer Direct, information has begun to surface online. This includes the release date for Forza Horizon 6, which, according to leaker Billbil-kun (via Dealabs), will be released on May 19 for both the Standard and Deluxe editions.

For those who want to wait, there will also be a Premium Edition, which will be ready to play on May 15. Apparently, the game will not increase in price, but will cost the same as Forza Horizon 5 did at its premiere (£54.99/€69.99 back in 2021), and it will also be released on disc for Xbox for those who prefer physical copies. In the US, however, the price is said to increase by $10 due to a weaker dollar exchange rate than when the fifth game was released.

The information has not yet been officially confirmed, but Billbil-kun is reliable and there is much to suggest that this is correct.
