Forza Horizon 6 has a PlayStation 5 date. Playground Games announced on October 8 that the Standard and Deluxe editions launch on PS5 on January 26, 2027, and that Premium Edition owners get early access five days earlier, on January 21. Pre-orders are open on the PlayStation Store, and a physical disc version will be sold at participating retailers.
The game is already available on Xbox Series X|S and on PC through Steam. The PS5 version has been developed by Panic Button, working with Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios.
What each edition includes
- Standard Edition: the full game.
- Deluxe Edition: the game, the Welcome Pack and the Car Pass.
- Premium Edition: everything in Deluxe plus VIP Membership, the Time Attack and Italian Passion car packs, and both expansions.
There is also a Premium Upgrade for players who already own the Standard or Deluxe edition. The announcement does not give prices for any of them.
Any PS5 pre-order includes a pre-tuned Ferrari J50, which is added to the garage once the prologue is completed.
Cross-play, cross-save and shared creations
PS5 players will be able to play with those on Xbox and Steam, and progress carries across platforms. Everything the community creates is cross-platform from day one: EventLab races, liveries, tuning setups and the rest.
On the technical side, Playground says its trailer was captured on a base PS5 in a 4K quality mode at 30 frames per second, and that a performance mode at 60 frames per second will also be available.
An expansion on the same day
The first expansion launches on all platforms on January 21, 2027, the day PS5 early access begins. It is included in the Premium Edition and can also be bought separately. A free content update for all players arrives alongside it, and Playground has promised details closer to launch. The second expansion has no date yet.
