Forza Horizon 6 will launch on PlayStation 5 on January 26, 2027, according to insider billbil-kun via Dealabs. The date contradicts Playground Games' previous commitment to release the PS5 version by the end of 2026, a deadline the studio publicly maintained until recently.
Billbil-kun has earned a reputation for accuracy in revealing PlayStation release information. The leak indicates the game will be available in both digital and physical formats on PlayStation 5.
The delay places Forza Horizon 6 outside the launch window of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is also expected in early 2027. The original title launched in May 2026 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
Meanwhile, Playground Games has acknowledged community frustration over the lack of post-launch content and pledged to improve player communication. The studio stated it hears feedback regarding the absence of street racing and the perception that updates have added limited value to the base experience.
