Forza Horizon 6's first major expansion will pull up in January, now Playground Games just need to offer any kind of hint whatsoever as to what it'll look like
Forza Horizon 6 has, as is standard for the live-service racing series, settled into a steady rhythm of revolving weekly to-do lists and a gradual drip feed of fresh cars since it came out in May. Unless you're hopping on for regular bouts of driving with mates or just dig the grind, odds are most folks will have dipped in and out over the months, possibly only returning when a new season adds…
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.
