Forza Horizon 6 is finally coming this Summer, but PlayStation players will have to wait a little bit longer, as the game won’t be releasing simultaneously across all platforms.

Here are the reasons why and when you can expect the PS5 release of Forza Horizon 6.
‘Forza Horizon 6’ PS5 release date window
AdvertisementThe PS5 version of Forza Horizon 6 will arrive in the second half of 2026. This is down to a variety of factors including strategy changes late in development.
Speaking to GamesRadar, Craig Duncan, from Xbox said “when a strategy changes, maybe you’ve got a plan that exists with a game and maybe you can adopt that, maybe you can’t.” In the same interview he did say that “sometimes we are inconsistent. You see some games in one place, some games in multiple places. Just know that we’re going to work on that, and we’re going to try and be more consistent with what we do.”
While this is slightly disappointing after last year’s release of Forza Horizon 6 on PS5, it does seem that Forza Horizon 6 will be the only upcoming Xbox title where this is a problem.
