Forza Horizon 6 System Requirements Continue Series Tradition of Optimized PC Ports

Expert Verified By

Forza Horizon 6 Will Be Playable For All!

Story Highlight
  • Forza Horizon 6 has received official system requirements.
  • The game asks for a combo as old as the GTX 1650 and Core i5-8400 for 1080p 60FPS gameplay.
  • The requirements also confirm support for DLSS 4, FSR 4, XeSS 2.1, and handhelds like the Steam Deck.

Playground Games is set to release two big titles this year with Fable and Forza Horizon 6. The latter arrives first, taking the series to Japan with the biggest open-world of the franchise to date.

With less than two months left before its release, Forza Horizon 6 has also received official system requirements from Playground Games today. To nobody’s surprise, the game seems to be quite well optimized.

Why it matters: Playground Games’ Forza Horizon series has a reputation for putting out extremely well-optimized titles. These games run well across both lower and higher-end PCs.

Playground Games recommends a fairly old Intel Core i5-8400/ Ryzen 5 1600 and GTX 1650/RX 6500 XT setup for 1080p 60FPS gameplay in Forza Horizon 6. Those with a more capable PC with a GPU like the RTX 3060 Ti and a CPU like the Ryzen 5 5600X can expect to aim for 1440p 60FPS gameplay at the High preset.

Forza Horizon 6 also recommends an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 XT GPU for 4K 60FPS gameplay. Moreover, gamers looking to crank all the settings up to the maximum, including ray-tracing, can expect to do so on an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT.

The memory requirements go up with resolution, but for 1440p or below, 16GB should still be more than capable of delivering great results in Forza Horizon 6. Elsewhere, the team confirms DLSS 4, FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2.1 support for the game.

Handhelds like the Steam Deck will also be supported at launch, so it seems Playground Games has covered all the bases when it comes to optimizing the title for different PC hardware.

The best part about these specifications is that Forza’s large playerbase will likely not have any trouble running the game, regardless of the kind of hardware being used.
