Forza Horizon 6 has not been delayed on PS5, developer confirms - but still won’t say when it’s coming out
Playground Games has officially denied reports that Forza Horizon 6’s PlayStation 5 version has been delayed. The confirmation came approximately one week after rumors of a delay began circulating online. In a blog post accompanying the game’s latest major update, the developer reaffirmed that the open-world racing title will release on PS5 “later this year,” though specifics remain elusive—no exact release date or window has been provided.
The vague timeline continues Playground Games’ cautious approach to PS5 release details, leaving players uncertain about when they’ll experience the Japan-set installment on Sony’s console. Despite denying the delay rumors, the lack of a concrete release window may fuel further speculation within the community.
The PS5 announcement underscores an interesting dynamic in Microsoft’s platform strategy. While Xbox has been pursuing exclusivity for select titles, Forza Horizon 6 maintains its cross-platform presence, releasing on Xbox consoles and PC alongside PlayStation 5. This approach positions the franchise as a tentpole title with broad market accessibility.
The developer’s continued major updates and content rollout demonstrate ongoing commitment to the project. As the year progresses, players expect more specific details about the PS5 launch, though Playground Games has so far maintained its stance of providing only a vague “later this year” timeframe.
