Today we’re excited to tell you more about the PC version of Forza Horizon 6. We’ve been releasing Forza games on PC for just shy of 10 years, and Forza Horizon 6 represents a culmination of all our work on the platform to date.

Our team has made significant improvements to the custom PC engine that delivered excellent performance in Forza Horizon 5, pushing graphical fidelity and quality further than ever before. Forza Horizon 6 has been built to take advantage of the latest generation of graphics hardware, delivering a world-class PC gaming experience.

We're ecstatic for PC players to jump in and Discover Japan. Whether you prefer to play on high-end custom rigs and gaming laptops, or even PC handheld devices such as the Steam Deck and Xbox ROG Ally, Forza Horizon 6 will play great across the wide range of hardware configurations.

As we reach the final stages of the development before launch, we've put together the following spec sheet so you have an estimate of how Forza Horizon 6 should perform on your PC this May:

Note: These are indications of possible target framerates within the PC specifications outlined. Performance will vary based on your setup, background tasks, graphics settings, and the use of ray tracing or upscaling technologies.

Forza Horizon 6 unleashes the power and flexibility of the PC platform with 4K HDR visuals, enhanced ray tracing features, and high uncapped framerates. With support for ultrawide monitor resolutions, you can fully immerse yourself in Japan’s endless beauty. The game also features the same robust controller support as seen in Forza Horizon 5, and every steering wheel compatible with that game will also be supported in Forza Horizon 6.

In addition, Forza Horizon 6 offers a range of advanced video technologies at launch, including:

• 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

For players with compatible graphics cards, the PC version of Forza Horizon 6 supports Ray-Traced Reflections, which you will see on both cars and in the environment, and Ray-Traced Global Illumination, or RTGI for short. RTGI uses ray tracing hardware to compute more accurate indirect lighting and occlusion across both the open world environment and cars in real time.

Forza Horizon 6 will feature the wealth of customizable settings that you've come to expect from Forza Horizon games. In addition, all of the PC render settings can now be changed without the need to restart the game. There are also live previews for many of the graphics settings, allowing you to easily see the visual changes you are making.

Forza Horizon 6 also displays real-time video and system memory usage figures so you can see how the changes you are making to graphics settings impact memory usage. There is also a benchmark mode, which gives players a great and consistent way to assess the performance of the game.

For players who own a PC gaming handheld device, such as the Steam Deck or Xbox ROG Ally, you can explore Japan on the go with all your progress intact thanks to cross-save, which is available on every platform Forza Horizon 6 can be played on. That includes Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam and SteamOS devices, PC gaming handhelds, and the PlayStation 5 version coming later this year.

We're really excited for PC players to get their hands on Forza Horizon 6 and experience our best PC game yet. No matter the rig you'll be playing on, we can't wait to welcome you to the Horizon Festival.
