The Horizon Festival is better together, and Forza Horizon 6 on PS5® will support cross-platform play and cross-save with the XBOX and Steam versions of the game. In addition, all UGC is also cross-platform, which means PlayStation®5 players can enjoy a massive collection of community-created content from day one, including EventLab races, Prefabs, Garages and Estates, as well as Liveries and Tuning Setups. By welcoming an entirely new community to Forza Horizon 6, all players will benefit from even more UGC being created and shared regardless of platform.
