PlayStation 5 owners who have been waiting for the next entry in the open-world racing series have a confirmed path forward. Xbox and Playground Games have officially stated that Forza Horizon 6 will launch on the Sony console later this year. This multi-platform strategy marks a significant shift for a franchise that traditionally remained exclusive to Microsoft hardware, expanding the potential player base for the upcoming title.

PlayStation 5 owners get a confirmed path to the next open-world racing entry
The game is set to arrive on PS5 following its initial release on Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms. Releasing the title on PlayStation 5 enables the developer to reach a large existing audience of console players. The official website confirms that players can add the game to their PlayStation Store Wishlist to receive notifications when the release date is finalized.
While the console launch date remains unspecified, the game is preparing for a major content update on September 10. This update introduces a British Automotive theme and a new Drift Attack race type for existing players. The release schedule indicates that the developers are finalizing game features before the PlayStation 5 launch.
Forza Horizon 5 sold over 5 million copies on PS5, demonstrating strong demand for the series on Sony hardware. Previous strong sales on PlayStation 5 demonstrate the market potential for the game on this platform. The success of the previous title provides a clear precedent for how Forza Horizon 6 might perform on the PlayStation 5.
