Forza Horizon 6 Isn’t Coming To PS5 This Year, It’s Claimed
A day after Microsoft publicly confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 would arrive on PlayStation 5 in 2026, journalist Tom Warren from The Verge is reporting conflicting information about the console’s release timeline. According to Warren’s paid newsletter, Microsoft is planning to delay the PS5 version of the open-world racer from its originally planned 2026 launch to early 2027, citing sources familiar with developer Playground Games’ plans.
The conflicting messaging has created uncertainty around the game’s multi-platform availability, with the discrepancy between the public statement and Warren’s report raising questions about Microsoft’s decision-making process and timeline communication. No specific release window within early 2027 has been provided by the sources.
Industry observers had anticipated that Microsoft would clarify the PS5 release date during its scheduled appearance at Tokyo Game Show later this month, as the gaming event represents a major platform for announcing platform-specific details. The timing of Warren’s report suggests his sources may be providing information ahead of any potential official announcement at the event.
