Xbox has reiterated that Forza Horizon 6 PS5 plans remain on track for later this year, even as Playground Games prepares the racing game’s next major update. The confirmation comes from the game’s official website, via Video Games Chronicle’s report.
The PS5 version was announced as a post-launch release when Forza Horizon 6 was first revealed. Xbox’s Developer Direct coverage lists the game for Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming and Steam at launch, with PlayStation 5 following later in 2026.
Forza Horizon 6 PS5 release remains set for 2026
The official statement does not provide a specific PS5 release date. It tells players planning to explore the game’s Japan setting on PS5 to stay tuned and points them towards the PlayStation Store wishlist, where availability notifications can be enabled.
That leaves the Xbox and PC launch window as the only firm date currently attached to the game. The PS5 edition is still expected before the end of 2026, but Microsoft has not announced whether it will arrive alongside a particular series update or receive separate platform-specific details.
Tbreak previously covered the initial Forza Horizon 6 PS5 announcement and the game’s Japan-set open-world design. This latest update is narrower: it confirms that the previously announced PS5 version has not been dropped during Xbox’s recent debate over which games should remain exclusive.
What is in the next Forza Horizon 6 update?
According to Forza Support, the September series update adds Drift Attack as a permanent shared-world feature. It takes the scoring idea from Drift Zones and turns it into a more competitive activity, with players chasing drift points alone, in a convoy or alongside others.
The update also starts a British Automotive celebration, with new cars in the Festival Playlist and additional Car Pass vehicles. Playground has separately confirmed that the first expansion is in development, but has not announced its location or release date.
No UAE-specific PS5 price, release date or local availability details have been announced yet. The game’s PS5 Store listing can be wishlisted while Microsoft provides the remaining launch information.
Is Forza Horizon 6 still coming to PS5?
Yes. Xbox has reiterated that Forza Horizon 6 will release on PlayStation 5 later in 2026, although a specific date has not been announced.
What is the Drift Attack update?
Drift Attack is a free permanent shared-world feature that lets players compete for drift points alone, in convoys or alongside other players.
When does the next Forza Horizon 6 update arrive?
The September series update begins its British Automotive celebration on September 10, 2026. Forza Support lists Drift Attack as part of the September update.
