Here are the Forza Horizon 6 PC, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally full system requirements

A screenshot of Forza Horizon 6.

Forza Horizon 6 is only a couple of months away, and gamers are eager for it. With the lush setting in Japan, and the first simultaneous release across Xbox, Windows PC, and PlayStation.

Forza Horizon 6 is looking to have one of the largest, if not the greatest, launches in its history. Not to mention the car list.

Now, we have the recommended spec sheet for all gamers looking to pick up a copy on the Xbox PC Store or Steam. Guess what? It’s optimized for both Steam Deck and Xbox ROG Ally!

The PC feature list will include the following: NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 3+4, uncapped framerates, ultrawide monitor support, ray-traced reflections, and global illumination.

As for PC settings, even GPUs from earlier generations can run Forza at 60 FPS.

Not going to lie, pretty happy that I'll be able to crank out native 4K 60 with my RTX 5080. Throw in a little DLSS Quality mode, and I'm sure I'll be hitting that sweet 120Hz+.

Xbox ROG Ally and Steam Deck compatibility

As noted by Playground, both the Xbox ROG Ally and Steam Deck will work with Forza Horizon 6. We don't know what those modes look like, but we can take a guess based on the minimum specs. Keep in mind, these aren't official but educated guesses.

Compared to a Steam Deck, an RTX 1650 is about twice as powerful as the handheld. So if you can hit 1080p 60 FPS on an RTX 1650, expect to hit around 40+ FPS on a Steam Deck.

As for the Xbox ROG Ally, it's actually on par with the 1650, possibly slightly better in some regards. Paired with the native VRR range, the Xbox ROG Ally will be a terrific handheld experience. Meaning the Xbox ROG Ally X should be even better.
