Key information
Playground Games has confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 in January 2027. While a physical edition of the standard version is planned, the release will function as a game-key disc, necessitating an additional download of content.
The developer has not yet clarified the specific nature of this required download. It remains uncertain whether the disc contains an incomplete version of the game, or if the mandatory data pertains to post-launch updates or expansion content.
The base game is estimated to be approximately 150GB in size, excluding the expansion scheduled for release across all platforms on January 26. Given the significant file size and the inclusion of future content updates, the reliance on a game-key disc format is not unexpected.
Consumers are currently awaiting further details from the studio regarding exactly how much of the game's data will be stored directly on the physical media versus what must be retrieved online.
