Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 is coming to PS5 on January 26, 2027, with a Premium Edition offering up to five days of early access and the expansion bundled at launch.
Forza Horizon 6 will reach PS5 on January 26, 2027. A Premium Edition with up to five days of early access is available, and the base game will come with an expansion released alongside the PS5 launch.
This move broadens Playground Games’ audience to PlayStation players and could influence how future Forza titles handle cross‑platform releases.
The PS5 version of Forza Horizon 6 is officially slated to arrive on January 26, 2027. Playground Games confirmed the date, aligning the PS5 release with the game’s broader launch timeline. A Premium Edition will be available, offering up to five days of early access before the standard edition unlocks. The first expansion for Forza Horizon 6 will launch together with the PS5 version, giving players both the base game and the new content on day one.
When Forza Horizon 6 was first announced, it was described as coming to Xbox, PC and PS5. The latest update places PS5 on a January 2027 timetable, following reports of a potential delay into early next year. The expansion content is expected to accompany the base game across platforms, though specific details on what the expansion includes were not provided in the initial announcements.
The base game will be available on PS5, with the Premium Edition granting up to five days of early access. If you don’t opt into Premium, you’ll still be able to buy the standard PS5 version at launch and access the expansion when it becomes available. This mirrors the structure seen on Xbox and PC, where Premium-style early access is a paid upgrade separate from the core game.
Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 broadens Sony’s catalog with the ongoing festival-world racing formula. For fans who own both a PlayStation and an Xbox, a PS5 release means you won’t have to wait to experience the Japan-inspired setting and festival events. The timing also hints at broader cross‑platform strategy for future releases.
With a Premium Edition offering early access, you’ll have an upfront choice about how soon you want to play. The standard edition remains an option, with the expansion launching alongside the base game. If you’re weighing value, consider whether the Premium upgrade fits how eager you are to start racing before the expansion lands.
Look for more specifics on the expansion content as the January 26, 2027 date approaches. Officials will likely share details about new tracks, vehicles and any special events tied to the expansion, plus performance notes for PS5 users.
