The wait for the next installment in Forza is almost done. Playground Games has now shared the complete PC requirements for Forza Horizon 6, along with the confirmed release date of May 19, 2026. This time around, the festival it is moving to Japan, putting a big emphasis on visual detail and also high-speed racing through streets lit with neon and countryside views. PC players are getting what is considered the best version, with no frame rate caps and support from day one for upscaling tech like DLSS 4 and FSR 4.

For people who have really powerful computers, the game goes even further with ray-traced global lighting and reflections. Seeing Japan in 4K at 60fps? It is going to take some serious hardware, but the people who made the game have also made sure it will run okay on more common, mid-level PCs. And even people with portable systems such as the Steam Deck are able to play, because the game is totally optimized for playing it handheld. Because of this almost anyone can get into the festival regardless of there setup.
