Forza Horizon 6’s GOTY chances are higher than any racing game ever has

Forza Horizon 6 is, comfortably, the best-reviewed game of 2026 so far. It sits at the top of Metacritic and OpenCritic‘s leaderboards, without even having to make the usual exceptions for expansion packs, remasters, or very niche titles. It is the first 2026 game to crack the magic 90 rating on both review aggregation sites, and it looks like it’s going to stay there. It’s also an ultra-polished AAA game and extremely popular. It’s obvious Game of the Year material.
