"In a new interview with GamesRadar, Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan told the outlet that he and Xbox have a "pretty simple view" about bringing their games and franchises, like to more platforms. "We want our games to reach the most players that we can," explained Duncan. "It's rarely more complicated than that. It's like, how can we get this game to as many players as we can?""
"But when asked specifically why is launching at the same time on Xbox and PS5, but Forza Horizon 6 isn't, Duncan admitted that "sometimes we are inconsistent." "You see some games in one place, some games in multiple places," Duncan told the outlet. "Just know that we're going to work on that, and we're going to try and be more consistent with what we do.""
""If we're only in a position to release a game on a platform and not have it show up really well? Then I think we wouldn't do that. I think we would have a conversation internally and go, 'Hey, unless we can do it really well and do the right thing by those players, then...' and that's when you get into conversations of, well, maybe we can ship it afterwards.""
Forza Horizon 6 is scheduled for May 15, 2026, while the Fable reboot will arrive in fall 2026. Fable will launch simultaneously on Xbox and PS5, but Forza Horizon 6 will arrive on PS5 sometime after the Xbox release. Xbox expresses a preference for bringing games to multiple platforms to reach the most players, yet acknowledges inconsistent platform-launch choices. The company seeks to maintain optionality and avoid day-one releases on platforms where the game cannot be presented well. Resource limits and team size are cited as key reasons for staggering or delaying cross-platform launches.
