Update [Thu 8th Oct 2026, 6:15pm]:<\/p>\n

And just like that, out of nowhere, with very little fanfare \u2013 the first footage of Forza Horizon 6<\/a> running on the PS5 has been released.<\/p>\n

This 30-second pre-order spot confirms previous rumours: the Japan-based racer is coming to Sony\u2019s console on 26th January.<\/p>\n

Those who pre-order the more expensive Premium Flair Edition will be able to play a few days earlier, from 21st January.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Three options will be available:<\/p>\n

Forza Horizon 6 Standard Edition ($69.99\/\u00a359.99)<\/p>\n

Forza Horizon 6 Deluxe Edition ($99.99\/\u00a389.99)<\/p>\n

Full Game
\nWelcome Pack
\nCar Pack<\/p>\n

Forza Horizon 6 Premium Flair Edition ($119.99\/\u00a3109.99)<\/p>\n

Full Game (Advanced Access)
\nWelcome Pack
\nCar Pass
\nVIP Membership
\nExpansion Pack 1
\nExpansion Pack 2
\nTime Attack Car Pack
\nItalian Passion Car Pack<\/p>\n

That first expansion included with the Premium Flair Edition will launch alongside the PS5 game, so you\u2019ll be able to play that day one.<\/p>\n

Are you pre-ordering?<\/p>\n

Original Story: We’ve all been wondering<\/a> where the PS5 port of Forza Horizon 6<\/a> is, and now we have our best idea of when to expect its arrival thanks to a very reliable source.<\/p>\n

Billbil-kun, reporting via Dealabs<\/a>, has “exclusively obtained” information about the open world racing game’s PS5 debut and other release details.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Forza Horizon 6 will launch on PS5 on 26th January, 2027.<\/p>\n

This would tally with reports from other sources<\/a> that claimed the game was being pushed into the new year.<\/p>\n

The report also states it’ll set you back \u20ac69.99\/\u00a359.99, the same price as on Xbox Series, and it’ll get a physical PS5 release too.<\/p>\n

The final detail worth mentioning is that the official announcement will apparently be made sometime this week, with pre-orders opening immediately after.<\/p>\n

Billbil-kun has been very accurate with gaming information for many years, most notably with regards to PS Plus<\/a>. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see all these details be proven true when Xbox does announce the PS5 release date.<\/p>\n

It’s interesting timing; Forza Horizon 6 released to glowing praise upon its original launch back in May, but sentiment among fans has become less favourable.<\/p>\n

That’s mostly in light of irregular\/low quality post-launch updates, and it recently reached a point where the team made an official statement:<\/p>\n

A message from the team: pic.twitter.com\/uwwbzbY4i4<\/a>\u2014 Playground Games (@WeArePlayground) October 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n

I imagine the game will be very much worth playing when it hits PS5, and hopefully Playground Games will have improved its cadence of updates by then, too. Or, perhaps, once the PS5 version is out the door, updates could maybe become more consistent.<\/p>\n

Anyway, are you excited about the arrival of Forza Horizon 6 on PS5? Tell us in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
