Xbox Game Studios and Playground Games announced the PS5 release date of Forza Horizon 6 on 8 October 2026: the racing game arrives on 26 January 2027, on disc and as a download, and pre-orders are open on the PlayStation Store. The Premium Edition lets players start five days early, from 21 January 2027, the release day of the game's first expansion on all platforms.
The pre-order trailer, published by PlayStation, was captured on a standard PS5 in Quality mode, in 4K at 30 frames per second. A Performance mode at 60 frames per second will also be available. The port is made by Panic Button, working with Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios. Panic Button also developed the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5.
PS5 players will be able to play online with players on Xbox and Steam, and carry the same save from one platform to another. Player-created content, such as EventLab races, garages, liveries and tunes, will be shared across all platforms from launch.
Three editions are available on PS5. The Standard Edition contains the game only. The Deluxe Edition adds the Welcome Pack and the Car Pass. The Premium Edition also includes the VIP Membership, the Time Attack Car Pack, the Italian Passion Car Pack and the game's two expansions: the first in January 2027, the second later. A Premium Upgrade lets owners of the Standard and Deluxe editions get the Premium Edition content.
Any PS5 pre-order, whatever the edition, gives a tuned Ferrari J50, added to the garage once the prologue is complete. Full details of the editions are on the official Forza website.
The first expansion for Forza Horizon 6 is released on 21 January 2027 on Xbox Series, PC and PS5. It is included in the Premium Edition, the Premium Upgrade and the Expansions Bundle, and is also sold separately. Its name and content have not been announced yet.
A free update, open to all players, will arrive at the same time as the PS5 version and the expansion. Playground Games will share the details closer to release.
Forza Horizon 6 was released on 19 May 2026 on Xbox Series and PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), and it is included in Game Pass. The game is set in Japan. In August, Playground Games was still announcing a PS5 release later in the year: the PS5 version now arrives on 26 January 2027.
