Will Forza Horizon 6 be on PS5?
Yes, Forza Horizon 6 will be on PS5. Official updates from Xbox and Forza confirm that the game launches first on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a PlayStation 5 version arriving later in 2026 as a separate, standalone release.
It’s a big shift from the old “Xbox‑only” era: the franchise is still led by Xbox Game Studios, but the strategy now clearly includes bringing Horizon to a wider audience once the initial wave on Xbox and PC settles. @Okami13_ shared on X that Forza Horizon 6 will officially release on May 19, 2026, featuring a first look at gameplay with the Toyota GR GT 2025 Prototype as the cover car, and confirming a PS5 version later this year.
What Platforms Will Forza Horizon 6 Launch on?
Forza Horizon 6 will launch first on Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Store and Steam), with PS5 joining later in the year.
The launch build is tightly focused on current‑gen hardware and PC, so there’s no Xbox One version planned, and the PS5 edition is treated as its own product rather than a cloud or streaming shortcut.
In simple terms, the rollout looks like this:
-
Day‑one platforms (May 19, 2026): Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC via Microsoft Store and Steam, included with Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
-
Early Access: Premium Edition players get in four days early, starting May 15, 2026.
-
Post‑launch: Native PS5 version later in 2026, with wishlist options already live on the PlayStation Store in many regions.
This staggered approach lets Playground Games and Turn 10 optimize first for Xbox/PC, then polish the PS5 build using that same Japan open‑world tech base.
Forza Horizon 6 Pre‑Order
Forza Horizon 6 is available to pre‑order digitally on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with multiple editions, and PS5 pre‑orders are expected to open closer to its own release window.
On Xbox and PC, players can choose between Standard, Deluxe, and Premium editions, with the Premium Edition offering Early Access from May 15, 2026 and bundling extras like the Car Pass and expansion content.
A lot of players won’t “pre‑order” in the classic sense at all they’ll just install it through Game Pass when it unlocks, since FH6 is included there on day one.
On PS5, official FAQs describe that version as a standalone purchase without Game Pass, so pre‑orders will run through the PlayStation Store in the usual way, with Xbox account linking required only for online features, not for basic single‑player.
About Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 is an open‑world racing game set in Japan, continuing Playground Games’ long‑running Horizon festival series under Xbox Game Studios.
The game leans into Japan’s car culture and geography, dense cities, mountain touge roads, coastal highways, and folds that into the familiar Horizon structure of seasonal events, online playlists, and a giant shared map full of things to crash into, drift through, or photograph at golden hour.
Developers have been calling this the most accessible Horizon yet: it carries forward earlier accessibility tools and adds features like AutoDrive, Car Proximity Radar, and expanded high‑contrast options so more people can actually relax and enjoy the driving.
Between the Japan setting, day‑one Game Pass support, and that confirmed PS5 version, FH6 is being positioned less as a niche console exclusive and more as an open‑world racer that almost any current‑gen player can eventually get their hands on regardless of the logo on the box.
