Forza Horizon 6 PS5 Release Reportedly Slips to 2027

Forza Horizon 6 may not reach PlayStation 5 until 2027, according to a new report. For a game that many racing fans have been waiting on, that would be a significant setback, and it reopens a question Playground Games seemed to have settled.

The developer recently pushed back on talk of a delay, insisting the PS5 release was not being moved. The new information contradicts that position. It is also not the first time the 2027 window has surfaced. The Verge's Tom Warren and IGN both reported something similar in late August, so the timing has been circulating for weeks rather than appearing out of nowhere.

The Forza series has a long history of launching first on Xbox and PC and arriving on PlayStation later, so a staggered schedule is not unusual for the franchise. Still, for players who planned to buy the game on Sony's console at launch, a move to 2027 means a longer wait and possibly a change of plans.

Until Playground or Xbox confirms a new date, the 2027 timing should be treated as reported rather than official. The most likely place for a clear answer is an official Xbox update or a studio announcement, and readers should watch those channels before making purchase decisions.
