The Verge writer Tom Warren suggested that the PlayStation 5 version of Forza Horizon 6, initially scheduled for release sometime in 2026, could be delayed until early 2027. The game’s new release date and month are not yet known. Microsoft is reportedly considering making an announcement on the matter as part of the Tokyo Game Show. Set in Japan, the game was released on Xbox Series X|S and PC platforms on 19 May.
Why it matters
If the claim proves true, it raises the possibility that those who want to access the game on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and PC users may not be able to play it during the same period. This separation leaves open questions about why Microsoft is applying separate release schedules for different platforms and how far the PlayStation 5 version will deviate from the planned timeframe. However, the current information is based not on an official announcement but on an assessment attributed to Tom Warren; therefore, it cannot be said that the delay has been confirmed. The fact that the council notes state that the timings conveyed by the source do not fully align with one another further increases the uncertainty. A possible announcement expected as part of the Tokyo Game Show could clarify whether this schedule will be confirmed, particularly for PlayStation 5 users.
