Forza Horizon 6 PS5 Version Reaffirmed for Late 2026 Release
The delay rumor was neutralized not by a direct rebuttal but by the official site continuing to list the same late 2026 window, leaving the specific release date still unannounced.

Playground Games has reaffirmed on its official site that the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 6 remains planned for late 2026. The update follows speculation from The Verge's Tom Warren, covered by IGN and VICE, that the port might slip to 2027. The studio posted on September 7 that players planning a trip to Discover Japan on PlayStation 5 should stay tuned, and the site continues to list the late 2026 window. No official delay announcement was made. The game is out now on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The September 7 post is not a direct rebuttal of the delay theory. It is the same release information the official site has carried all along, and the studio did not address Tom Warren's August outlook by name. The result is that the late 2026 window stands, while the specific date remains unannounced.
On Reddit, the reaffirmation drew relief, along with guesses that the port could land in December to avoid competing with GTA6, and that Tokyo Game Show 2026 might be where the date is revealed. Forza Horizon 6 is out now on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the PS5 version set to follow in the second half of the year.
