Xbox has officially unveiled its Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller and Wireless Headset, the two flagship accessories tied to the upcoming Japan-set entry in the Forza Horizon franchise. Both pieces are up for preorder now through Xbox.com and major retailers, priced at US$89.99 for the controller and US$134.99 for the headset.
The reveal lines up with what a reliable insider had teased earlier this month, but Xbox has now locked in the full design, pricing, and feature set, alongside a matching 8BitDo charging dock. The collection leans hard into the Horizon Festival’s new Japanese setting, with translucent shells, neon colour pops, and details pulled straight from the country’s street racing culture.
Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition Controller Design And Features
The controller is one of the boldest Xbox has put out in a while. Its transparent cyan blue top case fades into a metallic gradient, accented with volt green, hot pink, and silver. A silver metallic D-pad sits alongside two-tone rubberised diamond grips, and the Horizon Festival logo is printed on the battery door.
Xbox has confirmed the design draws from the Touge roads, the narrow mountain passes across Japan that are widely regarded as the birthplace of drifting. A top-down view of those winding routes is stretched across the body of the controller as a race track graphic.
On the functionality side, it keeps the standard Xbox Wireless Controller feature set: up to 40 hours of battery life, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and compatibility with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, mobile, and cloud devices through Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth.
Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition Headset Design And Features
The headset carries the same colour palette, with transparent cyan, volt green, and hot pink accents. Pit crew aesthetics inform the hot pink logo, racetrack-inspired graphics are printed inside the ear cups, and a bold “HORIZON” graphic runs along the adjustable headband. The boom mic carries a Forza logo backed in hot pink metallic.
Where the headset really leans into the Forza fan service is with its custom sound effects. Turning the headset on and off, pairing, muting, and other actions trigger audio cues that blend a Japanese V8 engine note with the Forza Horizon 6 UI. It supports Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone:X for spatial audio, and on Windows 11 PCs and handhelds, Bluetooth LE Audio enables richer stereo and super wideband stereo voice during party chat.
Battery life sits at up to 20 hours of rechargeable playtime, and like the controller, no dongle or base station is needed.

Pricing, Preorders, And The 8BitDo Charging Dock
Both accessories are available to preorder from Xbox.com, the Microsoft Store, and local retailers. Alongside them, Xbox has confirmed a third piece rounding out the collection: the 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers, designed to match the Limited Edition set.
The dock is compatible with Xbox Series X|S controllers, ships with a 1100mAh rechargeable battery pack and battery door, and charges a controller in roughly three hours. Magnetic alignment handles placement, and built-in protection guards against overcharging and overheating.

Xbox has not publicly confirmed a price for the 8BitDo dock at the time of the announcement.
Asha Shar Comments On The Collection
Xbox CEO Asha Shar spoke to the reveal on X, saying, “Everything about Forza Horizon 6 is beautiful. The accessories had to be too.” The quote frames the accessories as an extension of the game’s visual identity rather than a standard tie-in product, which tracks with how much the controller and headset lean on the Japan setting for design cues.

How The Collection Fits Into Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 is taking the Horizon Festival to Japan for the first time, and the accessory line reads as a direct extension of that setting. The Touge road graphic on the controller, the V8 engine sound effects on the headset, and the overall neon Japanese street racing palette give the collection a clearer narrative hook than previous Limited Edition Horizon accessories, which have typically leaned on regional colours alone.
For collectors who have picked up previous Horizon accessories across the franchise’s run through Colorado, Australia, the UK, and Mexico, this release continues the pattern of tying hardware design to each game’s host country, and it arrives ahead of the game’s launch to give fans a reason to jump in early.
