Forza Horizon 6 PS5 Release Reportedly Delayed to 2027

Forza Horizon 6's highly anticipated PlayStation 5 release appears to have slipped into 2027, according to multiple reports surfacing on October 7, 2026. A reliable leaker corroborated by outlets including TheGamer, Eurogamer, and Video Games Chronicle claims the PS5 version will not make its previously expected 2026 window, contradicting Playground Games' own public stance that a 2026 release remains on the table. The timing is awkward, coming shortly after the developer pushed back against delay reports and insisted the game was still on track.

Adding to the turbulence, Playground Games issued a candid acknowledgment to its player base around the same time, admitting that the studio "hasn't been talking with you as much as we could be" and promising to improve communications going forward. The statement, while a welcome show of transparency, only underscores the growing sense of uncertainty surrounding one of the most-watched cross-platform launches in the franchise's history. Fans who were hoping to get behind the wheel on PS5 before the end of the year may now need to adjust their expectations well into next year.
