Following its announcement at the Tokyo Games Show last year, the first gameplay of Forza Horizon 6 was showcased at Xbox’s Developer Direct show. From the deep dive, it’s shaping up to be everything fans were hoping for, with a spectacular open world set in Japan, a redesigned progression system and over 550 cars at launch.
For PC and Xbox Series X|S players, a release date was also confirmed for 19th May, with four days of early access for those who pre-order the Premium Edition from 15th. PlayStation 5 players will have to wait longer, however.
When it was announced last year, Microsoft confirmed that Playground Games and Turn 10 will bring the open-world racer to PlayStation 5 “post-launch” after PC and Xbox Series X|S, but it was unclear if it would still arrive in 2026.
Happily, Playground Games confirmed during the Developer Direct that Forza Horizon 6 will come to PS5 “later in 2026,” narrowing the release window.
“If you’re a Forza fan on PlayStation, we’ll be welcoming you to Japan later this year when our PlayStation version is ready,” said Design Director, Toben Ellert.
