Microsoft last month said the PlayStation 5 version of Forza Horizon 6 remained on track for a 2026 release, but multiple outlets now report it has been pushed back to 2027. The new claim, attributed to the leaker billbil-kun (also echoed by others), specifies a release date of January 26, 2027, and says the PS5 launch will include both digital sales and a physical disc edition at retail.
Playground Games had previously said its next steps and timing were still aligned with an earlier schedule, and some reporting notes the update comes not long after developer comments intended to reassure players. While Microsoft’s blog post indicated 2026 for PS5, the companies have not published an official revised PS5 date in these accounts. Separately, Forza Horizon 6 has already launched for Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the setting in Japan.
The outlets focus on the contrast between the earlier 2026 timeline and the newer 2027 reporting, while noting that no final, official PS5 date change has been confirmed by the developer or platform holder in the sources provided.
