Forza Horizon 6 is one of the most anticipated racing games of 2026, with an official release date set for May 19, 2026. The next entry in the Horizon series, developed by Playground Games, moves players to a beautifully crafted open-world setting inspired by Japan, complete with neon-lit city streets and scenic countryside roads, making it one of the most visually ambitious titles in the franchise.

The developers have officially revealed the Forza Horizon 6 PC requirements ahead of release, and the good news is that most gamers will be able to meet them.

At the low end, Forza Horizon 6 can run on hardware from several years ago. The minimum system requirements are a GTX 1650 and an Intel Core i5-8400 or equivalent Ryzen 5 processor.

That is a relatively low entry point for a modern AAA game in 2026. If you have a mid-range PC from the last few years, you should be able to get started without upgrading.
