Is Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 Still on Course for Release in 2026?
Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Forza Horizon 6 remains officially scheduled for release on PS5 in 2026, but the lack of a date and comments from journalist Tom Warren have increased speculation that it may slip into 2027. The uncertainty matters because Xbox has previously confirmed the port and Forza Horizon 5 reportedly sold millions on PS5, making a release commercially significant.
The game was confirmed for PS5 in January after launching on Xbox and PC, yet only a few months remain in 2026. Reports suggest Playground Games may be concentrating on Fable, due in February 2027, while possible announcement opportunities include Tokyo Game Show or a State of Play.

Forza Horizon is a series of open-world driving games made by Playground Games and owned by Microsoft. Players can explore large fictional festival settings, race different cars and take part in challenges; the sixth game is expected to be the next main instalment.
For many years, Forza games were closely associated with Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. Microsoft has more recently brought some Xbox-owned games to rival platforms, including Sony’s PlayStation 5, so a PS5 version of Forza Horizon 6 would be part of that wider approach.
Playground Games is also developing Fable, another major Xbox game. Release timing can be affected by the studio’s workload, testing and marketing plans, while events such as Tokyo Game Show and PlayStation’s State of Play are common places for publishers to reveal dates.
