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.
