Forza Horizon 6 Announcement Won’t Appear at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, It’s Claimed

Forza Horizon 6 won’t be making an appearance at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, according to a new report.

If you’ve been hoping to see Forza Horizon 6 finally break cover at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase, you’re not alone. The Forza Horizon series is known for its open-world racing and incredible visuals, and fans have been waiting patiently for the next big leap. It’s been all quiet on the Forza Horizon 6 front, though, with Playground Games keeping any real updates or teasers locked away.

That silence from the studio has only fueled more excitement and curiosity, especially now that June is packed with big events for gamers. Between Summer Games Fest and the much-anticipated Xbox Games Showcase set for June 8, expectations are sky-high.

People want to see what’s next for their favorite franchises, and Forza Horizon is definitely near the top of that wish list.

Forza Horizon 6 Announcement At Xbox Games Showcase 2025?

Now, there’s some new info that might help set those expectations. According to well-known Xbox leaker Extas1s, fans shouldn’t expect to see the Forza Horizon 6 announcement at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. The claim comes from sources said to be close to Playground Games and Microsoft. The reason given by the leaker is that the entire team is busy working on Fable right now.

“I’m seeing a lot of people expecting to see it at the Xbox Showcase, but I have information that tells me that’s not going to happen,” Extas1s said in his new video on YouTube. “Internally, sources close to Playground Games and within Microsoft are saying that right now, the Playground Games team is completely focused on Fable. That’s the absolute priority.” (machine translated)

To put it simply, Forza Horizon 6 is still in the early stages of development. Playground Games isn’t rushing to push out news or teasers. Instead, their main focus is finishing up Fable, another huge title that’s getting all the studio’s attention. That means there’s not much progress on the next Forza to show off just yet, and fans will likely have to wait a bit longer before we see what’s coming next for the racing franchise.

This update comes as a bit of a surprise, given how Forza Horizon games have been major highlights at previous Xbox events. As always, it’s smart to treat any unofficial news with some caution. Plans can change, so we suggest taking everything with a grain of salt.
