Forza Horizon 6 comes to PS5 on January 26, 2027. Premium Edition and Premium Upgrade owners get Early Access five days earlier, on January 21, the same day the first Premium Expansion launches on every platform. Pre-orders are open on the PlayStation Store, every PS5 pre-order includes a pre-tuned Ferrari J50, and the PS5 version has cross-play and cross-save with Xbox and Steam.
Playground Games announced the date on Forza.net on October 8, 2026, and every date, edition and feature below comes from that post. Video Games Chronicle notes that Playground had previously said the PS5 version was due in 2026, so January 2027 is a slip from that window.
Forza Horizon 6 PS5 release date and Early Access
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| October 8, 2026 | PS5 pre-orders open on the PlayStation Store |
| January 21, 2027 | Premium Edition and Premium Upgrade Early Access on PS5; first Premium Expansion launches on all platforms |
| January 26, 2027 | Standard and Deluxe Editions release on PS5 |
Playground has not given a launch hour for either date. A free content update for all players launches alongside the PS5 release and the expansion, with details promised closer to release.
Forza Horizon 6 PS5 editions: what each includes
The PS5 editions match the ones already sold on Xbox and Steam:

| Deluxe | Full game, Welcome Pack, Car Pass |
| Premium | Full game, VIP Membership, Welcome Pack, Car Pass, Time Attack Car Pack, Italian Passion Car Pack, Expansion 1 (January 21, 2027), Expansion 2 (date not announced) |

Forza.net’s edition list gives the five days of PS5 Early Access to both the Premium Edition and the Premium Upgrade. The first expansion is included at no extra cost with Premium, the Premium Upgrade and an Expansions Bundle, and can also be bought on its own. Playground has not named the expansion or said where it is set.
Playground’s post does not list PS5 prices, so we have not included any.
PS5 pre-order bonus: Ferrari J50
Any PS5 pre-order, whatever the edition, includes a pre-tuned Ferrari J50. It is added to your garage once you start playing and complete the prologue. The game will also be sold on disc at supporting retailers.
