After a recent leak, Playground Games confirmed the official release date for Forza Horizon 6 on the PlayStation 5, alongside pre-order details and a launch date for the first expansion. Having originally launched on May 19, 2026, Forza Horizon 6 became a massive sales success for Microsoft and Playground Games. However, that launch only included the PC and Xbox Series consoles, and now it's getting ready to welcome PlayStation fans.
The news comes during an interesting time for Playground Games, which was part of a recent reorganization effort at Xbox Game Studios. Alongside layoffs, Microsoft announced a massive restructuring of its first part studios, one of which saw Turn 10 merging together with Playground Games. While both studios are known for their work on the Forza franchise and assisting one another on the Motorsport and Horizon games, the move is intended to better align the teams going forward since they already work closely with one another. It's unknown currently what this means for future Forza games, but for now, Forza Horizon 6 has big plans starting in 2027.
One day after the PS5 version launch date of Forza Horizon 6 leaked, official word has finally come down from Playground Games directly. In a stylish new trailer, the PS5 version will indeed be launching on January 26, 2027, unfortunately missing out on 2026 entirely. In addition to the PS5 confirmation and pre-order details, Playground Games also confirmed that the game's first expansion pack will also be launching alongside the PlayStation 5 version on January 21, 2027.
