The bulletin reads like a hardware shopping list, so I’ve trimmed the prose but kept the specs intact.

Minimum (low settings, 1080p at 60 fps):

  • Operating system (OS): 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600.
  • Graphics card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT, or Intel Arc A380.
  • RAM: 16 GB.
  • DirectX: 12 (DX12).
  • SSD space: unknown atm.

Recommended (high settings, 1440p at 60+ fps):

  • Operating system (OS): 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X.
  • Graphics card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or Intel Arc A580.
  • RAM: 16 GB.
  • DirectX: 12 (DX12).
  • SSD space: unknown atm.

Extreme preset (4K at 60+ fps):

  • Operating system (OS): 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X.
  • Graphics card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.
  • RAM: 24 GB.
  • DirectX: 12 (DX12).
  • SSD space: unknown atm.

Extreme preset with ray tracing (4K with upscaling at 60+ fps):

  • Operating system (OS): 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
  • Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7700X.
  • Graphics card (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT.
  • RAM: 32 GB.
  • DirectX: 12 (DX12).
  • SSD space: unknown atm.

All presets target 60 fps as a baseline, but real-world results depend on more than raw specs — drivers, RT (ray tracing) settings, and which upscaler you pick will change outcomes noticeably.

Key features of the PC version highlighted by the developers include:

  • Upscaler support — DLSS 4 (NVIDIA), FSR 3+4 (AMD), and XeSS 2.1 (Intel).
  • Uncapped frame rates (yes, you can push past 60 fps).
  • Ultrawide monitor compatibility.
  • Ray-traced reflections and global illumination (RT enabled = heavier load).
  • Controller + wheel compatibility.
  • Verified play on handhelds like Steam Deck and the Xbox ROG Ally.

Forza Horizon 6 will arrive on May 19 for PC (Steam, Microsoft Store) and Xbox Series (Game Pass). Russian localization is included. Pre-orders of the premium edition unlock play from May 15. A PlayStation 5 release is still slated for sometime before year‑end.
