Overview
- Playground Games and Xbox issued a brief blog post confirmation on Tuesday that Forza Horizon 6 will be released on PlayStation 5 later in 2026.
- The statement did not include a firm release date or narrow window and directed players to add the game to the PlayStation Store wishlist for a notification.
- The reassurance responds to earlier reporting that the PS5 port had quietly slipped to 2027 after Xbox’s management and strategy changes raised doubts about previously announced multiplatform plans.
- Forza Horizon 6 launched on PC and Xbox Series consoles in May to strong sales and player activity, and the game continues to receive live updates including a British Automotive update and a new Drift Attack race type due around September 10.
- A formal PS5 release date is likely to be revealed at upcoming events such as Tokyo Game Show or via a PlayStation Store listing, and the timing could materially affect holiday sales and Xbox’s approach to future platform releases.
