What this means for you (Marseille, FR)
- If you’re waiting for a PS5 version, the current consensus points to a late-2026 release window, so you likely won’t be able to play FH6 on PS5 until then. This aligns with regional reporting about timing and platform strategy .
- If you’re eager to play sooner, you can still enjoy FH6 on PC or Xbox Series X|S when it launches in May 2026, which is the primary early access path many players are tracking .
Illustrative note
- The Switch in platform strategy for FH6—expanding to PS5 after initial Xbox/PC release—mirrors prior Horizon titles and underscores Microsoft’s intent to broaden the franchise’s reach across consoles over time .
