Forza Horizon 6 PlayStation 5 release confirmed for January 2027
Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 01:37 · Archive
Forza Horizon 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 on January 26, 2027, later than the originally planned 2026 release.
Forza Horizon 6 was originally scheduled to reach PlayStation 5 in 2026, but Microsoft-owned developer Playground Games has now confirmed a January 26, 2027 release date for Sony's console. The acclaimed racing game launched on Xbox Series X/S and PC in May 2024 and will mark the series' return to Japan as a setting.
The delay means the PlayStation 5 version will now arrive alongside the game's first expansion. Playground Games will offer a Premium Edition on PlayStation 5, providing up to five days of early access before the standard January 26 launch date. The expansion will be included with the Premium Edition or available for separate purchase.
Unlike the PlayStation 5 version of Forza Horizon 5, Forza Horizon 6 will release in both digital and physical formats on disc, priced at £59.99. Pre-orders are expected to open immediately following an official announcement.
The reason for the delay has not been officially stated. However, The Verge reports the postponement aligns with the game's first expansion launch. The previous entry in the series, Forza Horizon 5, proved popular after Microsoft released it on PlayStation 5 in 2023.
Forza Horizon 6 will be one of several PlayStation 5 releases from Playground Games in 2027, alongside the studio's next game, Fable, which is scheduled for February 23, 2027 on Xbox Series X/S, PC and PlayStation 5.
