The Forza Horizon 6 PS5 release date isn't known right now, but we at least know it's coming out at some point this year. Since FH5 sold so well when it launched on PS5 in 2025, it's no surprise that Xbox wants to try and repeat that success with Forza Horizon 6, but a certain crime game that also features lots of open world driving makes guessing when FH6 may come out a tad tricky. Here's all we know about the PS5 release date for Forza Horizon 6 and when it could release.

When will Forza Horizon 6 release on PS5?

Forza Horizon 6 will release on PS5 in 2026, but a specific release date beyond that hasn't been announced yet, with the Playstation Store listing saying it's "coming soon". The racing game is out now on Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and you can even play Forza Horizon 6 on Game Pass too.

If I were to guess when Forza Horizon 6 will come to PS5, I would say that a six-month gap, putting the PS5 release in mid-November, 2026, would be a fairly reasonable answer – that's plenty of time to refine the live Xbox and Steam versions for the PS5 release and it would allow Xbox to cash in on another wave of sales in the lead up to Christmas.

The main issue is that this would put the PS5 version of FH6 squarely in the way of Grand Theft Auto 6's current November 19 release date, which practically every developer and publisher seems keen to avoid. Forza Horizon 5's PS5 release back in April 2025 was a huge success for Xbox (and Sony), selling over 5.5 million copies, so it's possible that Xbox opts for an earlier PS5 release date instead to get ahead of GTA6.

Although, to be clear, this is all just guesswork, and it might be that FH6 releases on PS5 in the summer or could even get delayed to 2027. It may even be the case that GTA6 gets delayed again first! While you wait, you can at least wishlist the game on the PlayStation Store and take a look at the full Forza Horizon 6 car list!
