Ahead of the game's launch this May on PC and Xbox Series X|S (and the leaks that are being squashed with lifetime hardware bans), Playground Games today shared detailed system requirements for Forza Horizon 6 and confirmed key features of the PC version.
The game's system requirements, which you can find in full below, are divided into Minimum, Recommended, Extreme and Extreme RT categories which target different resolutions and performance targets, going from the 1080p, 60 FPS target of the minimum requirements to the upscaled 4K resolution and 60+ FPS target with ray tracing of Extreme RT. Everything considered, these look like reasonable specs that will allow even users with dated hardware to play the game without issues.
