Here’s the latest publicly available information on Forza Horizon 6 for PS5 as of now.
Core update
- Forza Horizon 6 was officially announced and confirmed to release on PS5 after its initial launch on PC and Xbox Series X|S, with a targeted window suggesting a late-2026 PS5 release in most reporting .
Key details and expectations
- Setting and scope: The game is confirmed to take players to Japan, featuring a large open world and a catalog of hundreds of real-world cars, continuing the Horizon series’ emphasis on expansive driving environments .
- Release timeline: Xbox Series X|S and PC versions are slated for May 2026, with the PlayStation 5 port following later in 2026, per official and industry sources that reference a post-launch PS5 window .
- PS5 port considerations: Industry reporting suggests the PS5 version may be handled by a porting partner (outsourced to a studio with prior Horizon 5 PS5 work) and optimized for DualSense features, though official technical confirmation remains limited pending closer to the PS5 rollout .
What this means for you (Marseille, FR)
- If you’re waiting for a PS5 version, the current consensus points to a late-2026 release window, so you likely won’t be able to play FH6 on PS5 until then. This aligns with regional reporting about timing and platform strategy .
- If you’re eager to play sooner, you can still enjoy FH6 on PC or Xbox Series X|S when it launches in May 2026, which is the primary early access path many players are tracking .
Illustrative note
- The Switch in platform strategy for FH6—expanding to PS5 after initial Xbox/PC release—mirrors prior Horizon titles and underscores Microsoft’s intent to broaden the franchise’s reach across consoles over time .

Forza Horizon 6 was unveiled during Xbox's spot at the Tokyo Game Show, so it feels particularly appropriate that the game will take players to Japan as its setting. The trailer shows off a number of Japanese accouterments, including a maneki-neko and a katakana license plate.
