Forza Horizon 6 Reportedly Coming to PS5 in January on Disc

Playground Studios' well-regarded racing game, Forza Horizon 6, is reportedly set to launch on the PlayStation 5 in January 2027, according to a leak from billbil-kun. This contradicts Microsoft's previous statement that the game would not be released until the end of 2026. The PS5 version of the game will reportedly be available both digitally and on disc, with both editions priced at around $69.99, matching the Xbox version.

Forza Horizon 6 has already received critical acclaim, with IGN awarding it a perfect 10/10, praising its graphics, sound, and expansive map. The game's release timing is seen as a strategic move to avoid competition with Grand Theft Auto 6, which is also set to feature racing elements. Despite Sony's recent announcement to phase out physical discs by 2028, causing controversy, Forza Horizon 6 will be released on disc alongside its digital counterpart.

The game's price point and availability on Game Pass also raise questions about Microsoft's subscription-based gaming strategy.
