Forza Horizon 6 Release Date for PS5 Revealed by Trusted Insider

Word is coming in from the reliable leaker billbil-kun that Forza Horizon 6 won’t be hitting PS5 until January 26, 2027. This news follows a curious exchange last month between a prominent gaming journalist and Playground Games regarding the status of the PlayStation version, where the developer firmly stated, “Forza Horizon 6 will be releasing on PS5 later this year.”

The situation began on August 27 when the journalist expressed skepticism about seeing Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 in 2026, asserting, “I don’t just make stuff up” when questioned about his sources.

As noted by another outlet, Playground Games refuted these claims on September 7 in a lengthy update on the game’s official site, insisting that the PlayStation port was still on track for release this year and encouraging fans to wishlist the game on the PlayStation Store.

Things took a strange turn on October 6 when Playground posted a vague message on its social media, seemingly apologizing for a lack of communication. The statement acknowledged fan feedback and promised to enhance post-launch updates and communication regarding future content.

Now, Dealabs has conducted its own investigation following the initial skepticism and confidently states that the game will indeed launch on PS5 on January 26, 2027, confirming the delay. They also mention that a physical release is planned, which is becoming increasingly rare for PlayStation titles, and that it will be priced the same as the Xbox version in Europe.

Forza Horizon 5 was a massive success when it launched on PlayStation, following its previous exclusivity on Xbox and PC. The anticipation for the sequel is high, making this delay all the more unexpected. Efforts are underway to get clarification from the developers.
