Key information
Playground Games has officially scheduled the PlayStation 5 release of Forza Horizon 6 for January 26. This announcement follows a shift from the previously anticipated 2026 release window, placing the standard launch after the turn of the year.
Players who purchase the Premium Edition gain five days of early access, allowing them to begin playing on January 21. This early access period coincides with the release of the game's first expansion, which will be available across all supported platforms on that same day.
The expansion is confirmed as a cross-platform release rather than content exclusive to the new PlayStation port. This staggered schedule ensures that Premium Edition owners can access the new content immediately upon its arrival, while the broader PS5 player base gains access to the full game on January 26.
These details were confirmed by Playground Games and reported by Video Games Chronicle. The updated timeline clarifies the distinction between the expansion's debut and the subsequent full launch on the PlayStation 5 hardware.
