Playground Games detailed four PC tiers for Forza Horizon 6 ahead of its May 19 release, from a low-spec 1080p setup to an extreme ray-tracing profile targeting 4K upscaled at 60+ FPS.
Minimum specs call for a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 1600, GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT, 16GB RAM and an SSD, while the recommended tier targets 1440p at 60+ FPS with an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT.
Extreme settings raise the bar to a Core i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 7700X, RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 XT, 24GB RAM and an NVMe SSD; the ray-tracing tier increases that to an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT and 32GB RAM.
PC-specific features include DLSS 4, FSR 3+4, XeSS 2.1, uncapped frame rates, ultrawide support, ray-traced reflections and global illumination, plus controller and racing wheel support.
Forza Horizon 6 launches on Xbox Series X/S and PC on May 19, bringing the series to Japan for the first time, with a PS5 version expected later this year.
