Availability & Release Details

PlayStation 5 Release: Confirmed for late 2026. You can add it to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store to get notified.

Why No PS4 Support?
Technical Limitations: Playground Games explained that the PS4 and Xbox One don’t have the hardware power to run the massive, highly detailed map of Japan and the enhanced graphics. The game uses advanced ForzaTech engine features that demand next-gen consoles.
Next-Gen Focus: Forza Horizon 6 is designed exclusively for modern hardware, allowing for smoother gameplay, better visuals, and larger open-world environments.
Ways to Play on Older Consoles
If you only have a PS4 or Xbox One, your options are limited. On Xbox, you might still play via Xbox Cloud Gaming. Xbox One owners with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription can stream the game through the cloud, bypassing the need for a next-gen console.
