Key information
According to a report from leaker billbil-kun on Dealabs, Forza Horizon 6 is expected to arrive on PlayStation 5 early next year. This contradicts previous Microsoft statements suggesting a release by the end of 2026. Playground Games has not yet issued a new statement following these claims.
The title, which launched on Xbox Series X|S and PC in May 2026, is reportedly being positioned to avoid competition with GTA 6. The latter is scheduled for release on January 26, 2027, and reportedly features its own racing mechanics.
Billbil-kun indicates that a physical edition will be available alongside the digital version. The game is expected to retail for approximately $69.99, matching the Xbox version's price. While the game is a first-party title, questions remain regarding Microsoft's day-one Game Pass strategy.
This multiplatform strategy follows leadership changes at Xbox, with Asha Sharma succeeding Phil Spencer. While some titles like Gears of War: E-Day remain Xbox exclusives, Forza Horizon 6 is moving to PlayStation, likely due to the significant revenue generated by its predecessor on that platform.
