Rumour: Two Xbox First-Party Titles Get Leaked 2026 Release Windows

With next year (and beyond) on Xbox looking pretty darn stacked, Microsoft could be having some trouble knowing where exactly to place its first-party games in its 2026 release calendar. We know of four big titles landing next year at the moment – and some fresh rumours today are giving us a narrower window for one of those titles, whilst also adding another fifth game into the 2026 mix.

Right, let’s look at that narrower release window to start off with. NateTheHate — a well-known gaming leaker — has taken to social media this week to reiterate that Forza Horizon 6 is planned for the first half of 2026. We’ve heard a similar rumour to this one before, but for now, Xbox and Playground Games have simply attached a broad 2026 window to FH6 in an official capacity.

The rumour on our second game in question here isn’t quite as specific in terms of its window, but it’s an interesting update for an Xbox Game Studios title nonetheless. Clockwork Revolution from inXile (which at the moment doesn’t have any sort of release timeframe) could also be coming from Microsoft sometime in 2026. The GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit has spotted that former inXile writer Nathan Long has Clockwork Revolution listed on LinkedIn as one of their 2026 projects, even if Long is seemingly no longer working on the title.

Of course, as is always the case with these sorts of rumour articles – we’re urging you to prepare a bucketload of salt with these two. Microsoft hasn’t confirmed either of these rumours/leaks right now, and all we know for sure is that both of these titles are coming in the near future. Here’s hoping we get official updates on both of them pretty soon… Xbox Developer Direct, anyone?
