A new in-game ad in *Forza Horizon 5* may have accidentally revealed the release date for the upcoming *Forza Horizon 6*. The ad was first spotted by XboxEra, who shared an in-game screenshot showcasing the unexpected detail.
In the screenshot, the ad appears beneath the pre-order information and includes a bulleted list. The very first item reads: “Early Access Play 4 days early starting May 15.” This clearly hints at the release timeline for *Forza Horizon 6*, surprising many fans.
It’s unclear whether Turn 10 Studios or Microsoft Studios intended to share the release date in this subtle way. Given the minimal fanfare, it’s likely the information slipped through by mistake. On the other hand, it could also be a clever tease aimed at the dedicated playerbase still immersed in *Forza Horizon 5*.
Adding to the speculation, Xbox is expected to host a major Developer Direct event next week, which is rumored to feature more details about *Forza Horizon 6*. This makes it plausible that the release date reveal was originally meant to be announced during that presentation.
For now, fans can mark their calendars for May 15, when early access for *Forza Horizon 6* is expected to begin—if this leak is accurate.
