Will Forza Horizon 6 Ever Come Out On PS5?

Forza Horizon 6 hit Xbox and PC back in May, and PS5 owners have asked the same thing ever since. Is this port actually happening? Microsoft has never announced a Forza Horizon 6 PS5 release date - and has never cancelled the game either.

That's what makes it messy. Microsoft promised the port on stage, the game sits on the PS Store right now, and the best-connected Xbox reporter says he doesn't expect it this year. Rather race now than sit through another rumour cycle?

Here's where the PS5 version actually stands.

Forza Horizon 6 On PS5 Summary

• Microsoft confirmed the PS5 version at the Xbox Developer Direct on 22 January 2026.

• Nobody at Microsoft has named a date. The one official window was a vague "later in 2026."

• The game has a live PlayStation Store page marked "release date to be determined."

• Playground Games reaffirmed the port in early 2026.

• In August 2026, The Verge's Tom Warren said he doesn't expect it on PS5 in 2026, though development carries on.

• 2027 now looks realistic, with Playground also shipping Fable in February.

Is Forza Horizon 6 Actually Confirmed for PS5?

Yes, and this one isn't a leak. Microsoft put the PS5 version on stage at its January 2026 Developer Direct, the next step after Forza Horizon 5 and Gears of War made the same jump.

You can open the game's PlayStation Store page right now. Microsoft Corporation sits there as publisher, the 550+ cars and Japan setting are listed, and the release date reads "to be determined." Publishers don't build store pages for games they've dropped.

Why Has the Forza Horizon 6 PS5 Release Date Slipped?

It went live on 15 May 2026 (premium) and 19 May 2026 (standard). Microsoft never said why PlayStation sat behind, which stands out - Gears of War Reloaded launched everywhere on the same day.

Two things then muddied the water. In February, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma replied "Hear you" to a post arguing Xbox games should stay on Xbox, and speculation ran for months. Playground pushed back, with Production Director Mike Bennett insisting the port was "still coming later this year." Then on 27 August 2026, Tom Warren said flatly he doesn't expect it in 2026 - adding that PS5 stays in Microsoft's plans.

GTA VI arrives 19 November, December is a graveyard for big launches, and Playground is buried in Fable ahead of its 23 February 2027 date. Where does a major port fit?

When Will It Realistically Launch on PS5?

Nobody outside Microsoft knows - be suspicious of anyone claiming otherwise. What we have is precedent. Forza Horizon 5 reached PS5 on 29 April 2025, roughly three and a half years after its Xbox debut, and reportedly earned around $300 million there. That number tells you this port isn't getting binned.

My read: 2027. The nearest chance to be proved wrong is Xbox's Tokyo Game Show broadcast on 17 September - fitting, given the Japan setting.

FAQS About Forza Horizon 6 On PS5

Final Words

Forza Horizon 6 is heading to PS5. The promise is public, the store page is live, and the Forza Horizon 5 money makes the call obvious. What died is the 2026 timeline, and the silence since May says more than any leak.

So it comes down to patience. Want to play this year? Xbox or PC is your only route. Happy to wait? Ignore any date until Microsoft itself says it.
