Microsoft revealed the system requirements for the PC version of the upcoming open-world racing game Forza Horizon 6.
The post on the official site includes hardware requirements for minimum settings, recommended, extreme, and extreme with ray tracing.
As you can see in the infographic below, you’ll be able to make the game work even with a relatively modest machine; that being said, the requirements ramp up rather quickly as the level of detail displayed grows.
If you want all the bells and whistles, including Ray Tracing, you need a rather beefy machine.
Compared to the console versions, on PC players will be able to enjoy uncapped framerates and ultrawide resolution support.
The following tech is also supported, depending on the brand of your graphics card:
- NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation for RTX 50 Series, DLSS Frame Generation for RTX 40 Series and above, DLSS Super Resolution for all GeForce RTX cards, DLAA, and NVIDIA Reflex
- AMD FSR 4 or 3 (depending on your GPU)
- Intel XeSS 2.1
If your graphics card supports ray tracing, you’ll also be able to enjoy Ray-Traced Reflections, on both cars and in the environment, and Ray-Traced Global Illumination.
The settings menu provides previews to help you decide, and you won’t need to restart the game when you change things. There will also be a real-time video and system memory usage counter, and even a benchmark mode to further support your selection of the best setting for your machine.
The game will run on Xbox ROG Ally and Steam Deck, and you’ll be able to jump between platforms thanks to the cross-save feature, which will be enabled across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam and SteamOS, and even PS5.
Forza Horizon 6 will release for PC and Xbox Series X|S on May 19, 2026. A PS5 version has also been announced, but it’ll come at a later time within 2026. A precise release date for the PS5 version has not been announced.
The game that was officially revealed back in September to celebrate Tokyo Game Show 2025 will finally bring the franchise to Japan, a setting that has been requested by fans pretty much since the first Forza Horizon showcased the potential of open-world racing games.
