Forza Horizon 6's PS5 Version Still on Track for 2026 Release, Playground Says

Playground Games has confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will still launch on PS5 this year, despite initial rumors suggesting a possible delay. The game is expected to be released later this year, and players can add it to their Wishlist on the PlayStation Store to be notified of its availability. While September and October are packed with major releases such as Marvel's Wolverine and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Forza Horizon 6 still has the potential to succeed due to its distinct audience.

However, launching the game in November appears challenging, as GTA 6 is anticipated to dominate the market upon its release. GTA 6 is rumored to feature an extensive car customization system and races, making it a strong competitor for player attention. December may offer a more feasible launch window, but the hype surrounding GTA 6 will still be significant during the holiday season.

Despite being released late for PS5, Forza Horizon 5 proved to be a massive hit on the platform, indicating that fans will be eager to play Forza Horizon 6. The game has received critical acclaim, including a perfect 10/10 score from IGN, praising its stunning visuals, immersive sound design, and engaging gameplay.
