Forza Horizon 6 Is Coming to PS5 in January 2027

PlayStation 5 owners who love racing games can get ready to experience the thrill of speed on the roads of Japan. The PS5 version of Forza Horizon 6 will be released on January 26, 2027. Although the game was initially planned for release by the end of 2026, the release date was changed to coincide with the launch of the first major expansion.

Playground Games has also released a new trailer for the PS5 version of the game. The footage in the video was captured on a standard PS5 in “Quality” mode: in this mode, the game runs at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second. A “Performance” mode is also available for those who want a smoother racing experience, targeting 60 frames per second.

The game is being adapted for PlayStation 5 by Panic Button, the studio that previously brought the preceding installment in the series to the platform.

Preorders for three editions are already open on the PS Store:

• Standard Edition — $70: the base version of the game.
• Deluxe Edition — $100: the base game and additional digital content.
• Premium Edition — $120: the game, the first major expansion, and early access beginning January 21, 2027.

Players who preorder any edition will also receive a special bonus: a modified Ferrari J50 supercar. The vehicle will be added to the garage after the game’s prologue is completed.

The PS5 version will also be closely integrated with other platforms. Players will be able to race alongside Xbox Series X/S and PC users, as well as retain their progress across platforms. In addition, user-generated content created by the community in previous months will be available on PS5 from day one. This includes tracks created in EventLab, car designs, and preset tuning setups.

As a reminder, Forza Horizon 6 is set in Japan and features more than 550 real cars. The PC and Xbox versions of the racing game were released on May 19, 2026. Forza Horizon 6 was the highest-rated game on Metacritic in the first half of 2026.
