Forza Horizon 6 announces PC system requirements.
With less than two months until its official release, developer Playground Games has announced the PC system requirements for the open-world racing blockbuster Forza Horizon 6.
Playground Games has always been known for creating Forza Horizon games that run smoothly on a wide range of hardware configurations. With Forza Horizon 6, players only need an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor combined with an NVIDIA GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card to enjoy smooth gameplay at 1080p resolution and 60 FPS.
For gamers with mid-range machines using graphics cards like the RTX 3060 Ti and Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, setting graphics to High at 1440p resolution and 60 FPS is perfectly feasible.
In the higher-end segment, the game requires an RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 XT graphics card to achieve 4K 60FPS resolution. Specifically, to push all graphics settings to the maximum, players will need the power of the latest generation of graphics cards such as the RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT.
Regarding memory requirements, the necessary RAM capacity will increase with resolution, but for 1440p and below, 16GB of RAM is still more than enough to deliver excellent visuals and performance. In addition, the development team has confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will fully integrate the most advanced image enhancement technologies currently available, including NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 2.1.
Not limited to traditional PC platforms, handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck will also be supported from day one. This shows that Playground Games has covered every aspect of hardware optimization.
Reportedly, this year the company plans to release two major projects: Fable and Forza Horizon 6. The racing blockbuster will be the first, offering the largest open-world map ever for the franchise and allowing players to roar along stunning roads in Japan.
