Insider billbil-kun says the racing game will launch on PlayStation 5 on Jan. 26, 2027. Microsoft and Playground Games have not confirmed the date.
Dealabs, where billbil-kun publishes, also reports that the game will get a physical disc edition alongside a digital release. The outlet expects pre-orders to open by the end of this week. The date remains an insider report, not an official announcement.
The Dealabs report puts the price at about $70. It is not yet clear whether the PS5 version will include a premium edition with early access, as on PC and Xbox. Release details could change before an official announcement.
Playground Games had previously said Forza Horizon 6 was planned for PS5 in 2026. The Verge reporter Tom Warren and IGN questioned that timing in late August. The studio said in early September that its plans had not changed, while Warren continued to report a possible move to early 2027.
The main game launched on May 19 for PC and Xbox Series X|S and was also made available to Game Pass subscribers. 3DNews reported that 6 million people played it in its first week. About 81% of Steam reviews are positive. The outlet also cites a figure of 5 million Forza Horizon 5 copies sold on PS5.
