You need to be capable of run the sport at playable body charges with solely 16 GB of RAM and a GPU and CPU which can be a number of generations previous. Even getting essentially the most out of this sport should not require the best possible graphics card or CPU available on the market.

That stated, if you wish to allow ray tracing you must anticipate to allow body gen and have a high-end (however not top-end) current-gen GPU.
“Whether or not you like to play on high-end customized rigs and gaming laptops, and even PC handheld units such because the Steam Deck and Xbox ROG Ally, Forza Horizon 6 will play nice throughout the wide selection of {hardware} configurations,” Playground Video games says.
This was additionally the case with Forza Horizon 5. It ran very effectively on most handheld APUs.
We would beforehand seen minimal specs that listed the built-in Arc B390. That is now lacking from the complete spec sheet, however I do not doubt it’s going to nonetheless just do nice given the specs which can be listed.
You need to be capable of run the sport at 1080p60 on low settings with as little as an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT, or Intel Arc A380 GPU. This implies any handheld with a Ryzen Z1 Excessive ought to obtain the identical, because the GPU in that handheld APU is roughly equal to those.
An older CPU ought to just do nice, too. Way back to a first-gen, six-core AMD Ryzen chip or a six-core Intel eighth Gen.
As for RAM, 16 GB ought to be sufficient for 1080p. Even perhaps 60+ fps at 1440p on excessive settings. This is sensible, given we all know from our personal testing that 16 GB of RAM is definitely nonetheless nice for gaming in 2026 usually.
It is steered that not less than an RTX 3060 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or Intel Arc A580 can be required for 1440p gaming.
I used to be nonetheless operating an RTX 3060 Ti till very not too long ago, and may attest that whereas it holds up effectively in loads of video games, it positively exhibits its age in some new ones. It is nice to see Forza Horizon 6 will fall within the former camp.
For the perfect visuals, you will want an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT, plus 32 GB of RAM, and a previous-gen Ryzen 7 or twelfth Gen Core i7 Intel chip. That ought to web you 60+ fps at 4K decision, offering upscaling is enabled.
When you’re comfortable disabling ray tracing, although, you must be capable of obtain 60+ fps at 4K with a previous-gen RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 XT.
Ultrawide resolutions are additionally supported, to benefit from the open expanses, together with assist for all of the racing wheels supported in Forza Horizon 5. That means, after all, you racing sim peeps ought to be capable of get good and immersed. And render settings can all be adjusted while not having to restart your sport.
The sport’s set to launch on Could 19—or Could 15 if you happen to get the Premium Version. And it appears to be like like {hardware} should not be an excessive amount of of a barrier from doing so.
