Forza Horizon 6 will roll out with full cross-save support across all platforms, including Windows PC (Microsoft Store), Xbox, PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5, marking the first time in the series’ history that progression will carry seamlessly between ecosystems.
The confirmation came directly from the official Forza Horizon social accounts, as Playground Games gears up for the franchise’s first-ever PlayStation launch later this year.
“Thanks to cross-save and cross-play, you can play anywhere with anyone,” the announcement said. And yes, that means you can start racing in Japan on Xbox or PC, then pick up the same save file on PS5 without losing progress.

Your career progress, unlocked cars, garage collection, race completions, and player level will follow you across platforms. Whether you’re grinding championships on PC or cruising open roads on PS5, your progress stays intact.
That’s a major shift for the franchise, which previously limited cross-progression to Xbox and Microsoft Store PC versions.
Alongside cross-save, cross-play multiplayer is also confirmed. That means players can race together in the same sessions with no platform walls.
So if your convoy includes Xbox drivers, Steam players, and that one PlayStation friend who finally gets access to the series, everyone can still squad up and hit the roads together.

While Microsoft’s Call of Duty franchise supports shared cosmetic purchases across platforms, Playground Games hasn’t confirmed whether DLC content will transfer between storefronts in Forza Horizon 6.
What is clear is that cars earned or bought with in-game currency will carry over, your progression and garage will remain intact across platforms, and paid DLC portability remains unconfirmed for now.
Still, even without cross-entitlements, full progression syncing is a massive quality-of-life upgrade for players who game across multiple systems.
Microsoft has been leaning hard into platform-agnostic ecosystems through initiatives like Xbox Play Anywhere, cloud saves, and account-based progression. Bringing that philosophy to PlayStation, traditionally the most closed platform, signals just how serious Xbox is about expanding its first-party franchises beyond hardware boundaries.
For Forza Horizon 6 specifically, it makes even more sense. The game is expected to launch with over 550 cars, and letting players keep their garages across devices removes one of the biggest friction points in multi-platform gaming.
Forza Horizon 6, introducing full cross-save across Xbox, PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5 is a franchise-first and a major win for players. It means no restarting careers, no duplicated grinds, and total freedom to race wherever you want.
As Xbox continues pushing its games onto more platforms, Forza Horizon 6 might be the clearest sign yet that the future of big-budget racing games is device-agnostic, social, and portable just how modern players want it.
