We’re seeing another fast-moving Forza Horizon 6 story landing in the feed. According to Push Square, a well-known tipster has reportedly provided concrete details about a PlayStation 5 release — and if true, it’s a pretty specific package.
What Was Reported
Per Push Square, Dealabs poster Billbil-kun has "exclusively obtained" details for Forza Horizon 6 on PS5. The claims include three headline items:
- 26th January, 2027 is named as the PS5 launch date.
- The PS5 edition will cost €69.99/£59.99, reportedly matching the Xbox Series price.
- There will be a physical PS5 release, and an official announcement will apparently be made sometime this week, with pre-orders opening immediately after.
Push Square adds that this timeline would align with earlier claims suggesting the title was being pushed into the new year. The site also notes that Billbil-kun has a long history of accurate gaming tips, especially around PS Plus.
The Source & Credibility
We should be clear-eyed about the provenance here. The chain is: Dealabs report from Billbil-kun, relayed by Push Square. Push Square frames the information as coming exclusively via that leaker.
Why The Leaker Is Taken Seriously
- Billbil-kun is described by Push Square as "very accurate" with gaming information for many years, with notable calls on PS Plus.
- Push Square itself says these specifics would “tally with reports from other sources” that suggested a post-holiday shift — though those other sources are not listed in their piece.
Why You Should Still Be Cautious
Take this with a pinch of salt. The claims are second-hand: we’re relying on a leaker’s post being reported by a publication. Push Square couches some language in tentative terms (for example, "apparently" and "would tally"), and they explicitly advise readers not to assume certainty.
We’ll also flag that Push Square notes Forza Horizon 6 originally launched in May to "glowing praise," but that fan sentiment has cooled because of "irregular/low quality post-launch updates" — a factor that could shape reception of a PS5 release even if the leak is accurate. The studio did issue an official statement addressing those concerns, per Push Square.
What It Could Mean
If these particulars prove accurate, there are a few immediate implications to consider — but remember: they are conditional on verification.
- Matching the Xbox Series price at €69.99/£59.99 would position the PS5 SKU at parity with the current-gen cost structure Push Square references.
- A physical PS5 release and immediate pre-orders after an announcement mean the port would likely be treated as a full retail launch rather than a limited or digital-only drop.
- Timing the announcement "sometime this week" with pre-orders opening immediately after suggests a tightly controlled marketing window, if true.
We’re also mindful that this leak sits alongside other industry chatter about the game's commercial performance and community reaction. For context on the title’s wider market picture, see our earlier look at Forza Horizon 6 as a top new earner on Steam. And for a reminder of how leakers can shape public expectation, consider the attention around GTA 6 leaks and the reaction they drew.
Why This Matters
Allegedly landing a concrete PS5 date, price, and retail plan would be a big step for Forza Horizon 6 as it expands beyond its initial platforms. If Push Square’s relay of Billbil-kun is correct, PlayStation owners would soon have a clear path to buy the game — and that matters both commercially and for the player base.
Equally important: the PS5 launch would arrive while perceptions around post-launch support remain a conversation point. Push Square highlights community disappointment over update cadence and quality, and a PS5 release could either reinvigorate interest or amplify those concerns depending on how the developers handle ongoing updates.
We’re watching for the promised announcement — if it arrives as Push Square reports, pre-orders may indeed follow immediately. Until then, take the details here as plausible but unconfirmed. We’ll be monitoring this closely and will report as soon as verifiable announcements land.
