Forza Horizon 6's PS5 Release Is Still Happening, Even as Xbox Reconsiders Multiplatform Games

Forza Horizon 6 has been out for half of 2026, having been originally released in May, but it's still only available on Xbox and PC. Ever since the launch of the game, Playground Games and Microsoft have been eerily quiet about a potential PlayStation 5 release for the sixth installment of the iconic racing franchise. While it was confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 would come to PS5 sometime 'post-launch,' it was never revealed when that might be.

This comes in the midst of a major realignment for Xbox across the board, which has made some fans anxious that the company might not want to prioritize a port for a rival console.

The statement on the website reads: 'If you're planning your trip to Discover Japan on PlayStation 5, stay tuned. Forza Horizon 6 will be releasing on PS5 later this year, and you can add the game to your Wishlist on the PlayStation Store to be notified of availability.' This is great news for any PlayStation player looking to dip their toes into the latest Forza Horizon game, which received rave reviews at launch and has continued to satisfy players with ongoing content updates. This will be the second Forza Horizon game to arrive on PlayStation, as FH5 launched on PS5 in early 2025. As for when exactly players can expect to boot up FH6 on PS5, that remains to be seen. Only four months remain in 2026, and with Grand Theft Auto 6 launching in November, we can likely rule that month out. September is also already one week in at the time of writing, so the most likely months for a PS5 release of Forza Horizon 6 are either October or December. Of course, Xbox and Playground Games haven't announced anything official, so any month in 2026 is still possible.
