Overview
- Playground Games and Microsoft announced in January 2026 that Forza Horizon 6 would come to PS5 later in 2026 after the game launched on Xbox and PC.
- Forza Horizon 6 released on Xbox Series X|S and PC on May 19, 2026, but Microsoft and Playground Games have not given a firm PS5 date.
- Several industry insiders, including Tom Warren, publicly said they do not expect the PS5 version to arrive in 2026 and now anticipate a 2027 release window.
- Xbox leadership says it will honor previously announced PS5 ports and the PS5 version has not been canceled, but no official delay has been announced.
- Analysts note strong PS5 sales for Forza Horizon 5 create a clear commercial reason to port FH6, yet reports that Playground Games is prioritizing Fable plus heavy fall launch schedules raise the chance of a 2027 release and make Gamescom or Tokyo Game Show the likeliest places for any date announcement.
