Current Status: PS5 Later This Year
Forza Horizon 6 is confirmed for PS5 later this year, but Playground Games has not announced an exact date yet. The Xbox Series X|S and PC versions already launched on May 18, 2026. This is the first Forza game ever released on PlayStation.
What's Confirmed
- Platform: PS5 is confirmed — this is the first Forza game on PlayStation, ending a 20-year Xbox-exclusive run.
- Timing: Official wording is "later this year." No exact date announced.
- Xbox/PC already out: Xbox Series X|S and PC launched May 18, 2026, day one on Game Pass.
- Cross-play: Full cross-play across Xbox, PS5, and PC, with progression sync.
What to Expect on PS5
The PS5 version will ship with the same content as Xbox and PC: the full Mexico map, the 85+ car roster across 27 manufacturers, and all launch-day features. What's still unknown is whether PS5 gets any platform-specific extras — DualSense features (adaptive triggers, haptic feedback) are expected given Playground's history with controller integration, but nothing is officially confirmed yet.
For the full PS5 performance and DualSense breakdown, see the FH6 on PS5 guide.
Game Pass Note for PS5 Players
Xbox Game Pass is an Xbox and PC service and does not apply to PS5. The PS5 version of FH6 will be sold through the PlayStation Store as a standalone purchase. Xbox Game Pass subscribers get the Xbox and PC versions day one, but PS5 players buy the game directly.
