Forza Horizon 6 appears to have been quietly delayed on PS5

Forza Horizon 6’s anticipated PlayStation 5 release appears to have been delayed beyond its originally planned 2026 launch window. The Verge’s Tom Warren reported that he is “not expecting to see Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 in 2026,” responding to speculation about a potential postponement to 2027. IGN subsequently confirmed that the publication understands this reporting to be accurate based on its own sources.

What makes this notable is the absence of any formal announcement from Microsoft. Xbox has gone quiet on the PS5 version in recent months, with the port notably absent from recent communications and update discussions. This quiet disappearance suggests something has shifted in Microsoft’s release plans, though specific reasons remain unclear.

Forza Horizon 6 represents one of the few major Xbox Game Studios titles receiving a PlayStation 5 port, making any delay significant for both the publisher and PlayStation players. Details about a revised release timeline have not been confirmed, though reporting suggests 2027 as a potential new target.
