Here’s what you need to run Forza Horizon 6 on PC
Forza Horizon 6 is coming to PC on May 19th
Xbox has released their first Gameplay Teaser for Forza Horizon 6, confirming that the game is coming to PC and Xbox on May 19th. The game’s PS5 version is releasing “later this year”. On Steam, Playground Games has released minimum system requirements for their new racer, and they aren’t much higher than Forza Horizon 5.
While Horizon 6’s release date is May 19th, gamers who purchase the game’s “Premium Edition” will get four days of early access alongside other Premium Edition content. This includes the game’s first two expansions, the game Car Pass, two “Car Packs”, a “VIP Membership”, and a Welcome Pack. Everyone who pre-orders the game will get a “Pre-Tuned Ferrari J50”.
Forza Horizon 6 PC system requirements
GPU-wise, Forza Horizon 6’s minimum PC system requirements are similar to Forza Horizon 5. The game’s minimum Intel GPU is identical, the ARC A380. For AMD and Nvidia, things have changed, but not by much. With AMD and Nvidia, Playground Games has updated Forza Horizon 6’s minimum GPU requirements and replaced them with more modern counterparts. For Nvidia, their GTX 1650 replaces the GTX 970. For AMD, the RX 6500 XT replaces the RX 470. Note that these newer AMD and Nvidia GPUs still have driver support. The minimum GPUs for Forza Horizon 5 do not have driver support anymore. If you own a GPU that can run Forza Horizon 5, you should have a GPU that can run Forza Horizon 6.
CPU-wise, Playground Games recommends modern 6-core AMD/Intel CPUs or better. Both the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and Intel i5-8400 are old by today’s standards. Any newer 6-core or better CPU should run this game with ease. Note that gamers will need a minimum of 16GB of RAM. Furthermore, SSD storage is “required”, which is a first for the Forza series on PC.
Minimum:
OS: Windows 10 22H2 (version 19045) or higher
Processor: Intel i5-8400 OR AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1650 OR AMD RX 6500 XT OR Intel Arc A380 / Arc B390
DirectX: Version 12

Additional Notes: SSD Required
