If you plan to play Forza Horizon 6 on PC, Playground Games has now shared the full system requirements ahead of launch, and most players will find the entry barrier reasonable, even if you run older hardware that still handles modern titles without major upgrades.
The minimum setup targets 1080p at 60 FPS and includes hardware like the GTX 1650 and Ryzen 5 1600, which means a wide range of existing gaming PCs can still run the game without issues, while higher settings scale gradually based on GPU power, RAM, and storage speed.
Forza Horizon 6 PC Requirements
| Tier | CPU | GPU | RAM | Storage | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Intel Core i5-8400 / Ryzen 5 1600 | GTX 1650 / RX 6500 XT / Arc A380 | 16GB | SSD | 1080p Low, 60 FPS |
| Recommended | Intel Core i5-12400F / Ryzen 5 5600X | RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT | 16GB | SSD | 1440p High, 60+ FPS |
| Extreme | Intel Core i7-12700K / Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4070 Ti / RX 7900 XT | 24GB | SSD | 4K Extreme, 60+ FPS |
| Extreme RT | Intel Core i7-12700K / Ryzen 7 7700K | RTX 5070 Ti / RX 9070 XT | 32GB | NVMe SSD | 4K Extreme RT, 60+ FPS |
As you move up the presets, the game demands more powerful GPUs and higher RAM, especially for ray tracing and 4K gameplay, where faster storage like NVMe also becomes necessary for smoother loading and performance.
