Forza Horizon 6 Launches on PS5 on January 26, 2027

Sony has announced the PS5 release date for arcade racing game Forza Horizon 6—the game will launch on January 26, 2027. The port was originally planned for release by the end of 2026, but the launch was postponed to coincide with the release of the first major expansion.

Developer Playground Games released a trailer featuring footage captured on the base PS5 in “Quality” mode (4K at 30 FPS). At launch, players will also have access to a “Performance” mode targeting 60 FPS. Panic Button, the studio that previously ported the preceding installment in the franchise to PS5, is handling the technical adaptation.

Preorders for three editions are now open on the PlayStation Store:

• Standard Edition ($70)—the base game;
• Deluxe Edition ($100)—the game and additional digital content;
• Premium Edition ($120)—includes the first major expansion and provides early access starting January 21, 2027.

Players who preorder any edition will receive a unique bonus—a modified Ferrari J50 supercar that will be added to their garage immediately after they complete the prologue. On PS5, the game will offer full cross-play and cross-save support with the Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam) versions. In addition, all user-generated content created by the community over the past few months, including EventLab tracks, liveries, and ready-made vehicle tuning setups, will be available on PS5 from day one.

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