All PlayStation®5 consoles will have access to a 4K 30FPS Quality mode and a 60FPS Performance mode in Forza Horizon 6. Our Forza Horizon 6 trailer announcing the PS5® release date was captured on a base PlayStation®5 console in the 4K 30FPS Quality mode.
Q: Does Forza Horizon 6 on PlayStation®5 support cross-play and cross-save?
The Horizon Festival is better together, and Forza Horizon 6 on PlayStation®5 will support cross-platform play and cross-save with the XBOX Series X|S and Steam versions of the game. This means if you already played Forza Horizon 6 on another platform, all of your progress will be carried forward to PS5® as long as you are signing into the game with the same Microsoft account.
Q: How do I access my Forza Horizon 6 progress from another platform on my PlayStation®5?
To resume your Forza Horizon 6 progress on a PlayStation®5 console from an existing save created on another platform, you must ensure the Microsoft account associated with your XBOX Gamertag is the same one you use when prompted to link your account on PS5®. Linking to the same Microsoft account is required to ensure your Forza Horizon 6 progress remains synchronized across all platforms.
Q: Will User Generated Content (UGC) already created and shared in Forza Horizon 6 be available on PlayStation®5?
Yes, UGC is also cross-platform, which means PlayStation®5 players can enjoy a massive collection of community-created content from day one, including EventLab races, Prefabs, Garages and Estates, as well as Liveries and Tuning Setups. By welcoming an entirely new community to Forza Horizon 6, all players will benefit from even more UGC being created and shared regardless of platform.

Yes, in-game Leaderboards are synced and shared between all platforms: XBOX Series X|S, PC and Steam, and PlayStation®5.
Q: Does the PlayStation®5 version of Forza Horizon 6 benefit from all updates released so far?
Yes, Forza Horizon 6 will have content parity between all versions of the game. This means PlayStation®5 players can enjoy new features added post-release such as Drift Attack on day one. In addition, we’re working on a free content update for all players that will accompany the PS5® release, and we will share more details about this closer to release.
Q: How will the Festival Playlist work on Forza Horizon 6 on PS5®?
Forza Horizon 6’s Festival Playlist is synchronized between all platforms. Therefore, PlayStation®5 players will have the latest series also available on XBOX Series X|S and PC. Once an update is released on one platform, it will also be available for PlayStation®5 at the same time, ensuring there is always parity for game content and updates between all platforms – just like there is today for XBOX and Steam.
