Forza Horizon 6 remains on track for a PlayStation 5 release following its initial rollout on Xbox and PC. While Xbox confirmed in January that the racing game would come to Sony's console at a later date, players have awaited an exact launch day ever since.
Quick Facts
- Platforms: PC, Xbox, and a confirmed PlayStation 5 port.
- PS5 Release Window: Scheduled for 2026, though an exact date has not been announced.
- Publisher Status: Xbox leadership confirmed that previously announced PlayStation 5 ports will still move forward despite policy shifts on multiplatform trailer branding and console-exclusive software.
What Changed for Xbox Ports
Since the initial confirmation in January, Xbox has updated how it handles multiplatform software. The company decided against showing competitor platform logos in trailers for multiplatform games and recommitted to console-exclusive titles like Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution. Even with these adjustments, Xbox's Matt Booty confirmed that previously announced PlayStation 5 ports will not be cancelled. Sony's machine previously received Halo: Campaign Evolved in July, and analyst reports indicate that Forza Horizon 5 sold millions of copies on PS5 after arriving in 2025.
Potential Release Timing
With the 2026 window shrinking, upcoming industry showcases such as the Tokyo Game Show in September or a potential Sony State of Play serve as the most likely venues for an official date reveal. No news regarding the PlayStation 5 version is expected at Gamescom.
