Playground Games showcased an in-depth look at Forza Horizon 6 during the Xbox Developer Direct, offering extended developer interviews alongside a generous amount of gameplay footage. As a multi-platform release, many players are understandably curious about how well the game supports modern cross-platform features.
Here’s a complete breakdown of everything currently confirmed regarding Forza Horizon 6’s crossplay and cross-save functionality.
Does Forza Horizon 6 Have Crossplay?
Yes, Forza Horizon 6 fully supports crossplay across all platforms, including PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. This means players can race together online regardless of which system they’re using, making it easy to play with friends across different platforms.
Does Forza Horizon 6 Support Cross-Saves?
Yes, Forza Horizon 6 also includes cross-save support, allowing players to carry their progress across multiple devices. Cross-saves are confirmed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, PlayStation 5, and Steam, ensuring a seamless experience when switching platforms.
It’s important to note that cross-saves do not grant access to additional copies of the game. However, players who purchase the digital version through Xbox Series X|S or the Microsoft Store on PC can take advantage of Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing them to play on both Xbox and PC with a single purchase.
While buying the game on multiple platforms still requires separate purchases, Forza titles frequently go on sale, and the ability to retain progress across devices is a welcome feature.
Forza Horizon 6 Release Date
Forza Horizon 6 is set to launch on May 19, 2026, for PC and Xbox Series X|S. A PlayStation 5 release is also planned, though it will arrive later in the year.
Can You Play Forza Horizon 6 Early?
Yes. Players who pre-order the Premium Edition of Forza Horizon 6 will receive four days of early access, allowing them to start playing on May 15, 2026.
The Premium Edition is priced at $119.99 / £109.99 / €119.99. Below is a full breakdown of all available editions:
| Forza Horizon 6 Edition | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $69.99 / £59.99 / €69.99 |
| Deluxe Edition | $99.99 / £89.99 / €99.99 |
| Premium Edition | $119.99 / £109.99 / €119.99 |
Early access is exclusive to the Premium Edition, which costs $50 more than the Standard Edition. If early access is the only reason you’re considering the Premium Edition, it may not be the best value option.
Will Forza Horizon 6 Be Available With Game Pass?
Yes. The Standard Edition of Forza Horizon 6 will be available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on launch day.
Once again, Playground Games appears to be making smart choices with a high-profile, multi-platform release. While the delayed PS5 version raises some questions—especially given the success of Forza Horizon 5 on PlayStation—it’s reassuring to know that the release is still planned for later this year.
