Forza Horizon 6 South Africa price summary (ZAR)
Pre-order pricing for Forza Horizon 6 in South Africa is identical between Steam ZA and the Xbox South Africa store. The PlayStation Store ZA listing exists but does not yet show prices because the PS5 version releases later than the Xbox/PC launch.
| Edition | Steam ZA | Xbox ZA | PS Store ZA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | R1,299.00 | R1,299.00 | (unconfirmed) |
| Deluxe | R1,849.00 | R1,849.00 | (unconfirmed) |
| Premium | R2,219.00 | R2,219.00 | (unconfirmed) |
Microsoft applies parity pricing between Steam and the Xbox Store in the ZA region, so PC and Xbox Series X|S buyers pay the same. Premium buyers get 4-day early access starting 15 May 2026. For a breakdown of what each tier includes, see the Forza Horizon 6 editions compared guide.
Steam South Africa pricing
On Steam with the ZA regional store, Forza Horizon 6 is listed at:
- Standard Edition — R1,299.00
- Deluxe Edition — R1,849.00
- Premium Edition — R2,219.00
Steam ZA displays prices with a space as the thousands separator (R 1 299.00). South African Steam users are charged in ZAR directly; no VAT is added at checkout because the listed price is the final price. Payment methods include local credit/debit cards and Steam wallet top-ups via authorised resellers.
Xbox South Africa pricing
The Xbox.com South Africa store lists the same three editions at parity with Steam:
- Standard Edition — R1 299,00
- Deluxe Edition — R1 849,00
- Premium Edition — R2 219,00
Xbox ZA uses a comma as the decimal separator (R1 299,00) following local formatting conventions. The Standard Edition is also playable day-one through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass at no extra cost — South African Game Pass Ultimate is R159,99/month, so subscribers can effectively access the base game without a separate purchase. See Xbox Game Pass and FH6 for more details.
PlayStation Store South Africa — pricing pending
The PlayStation Store ZA page for Forza Horizon 6 is live at playstation.com/en-za/games/forza-horizon-6/, but as of 14 May 2026 it shows only “Release date to be determined” with no ZAR price. Microsoft has confirmed the PS5 version arrives in 2026 but later than the 19 May launch on Xbox and PC.
PS Store ZA prices are marked as (unconfirmed) rather than estimated from USD conversions. Expect Sony to publish ZAR prices closer to the PS5 launch window. Based on Sony’s typical ZA pricing tier (PS5 AAA games usually land at R1,199–R1,399 for Standard), the eventual prices should land near the Xbox/Steam figures, but this is not yet officially confirmed.
How ZA prices compare to USD
Microsoft’s USD pricing for FH6 is $69.99 (Standard) / $89.99 (Deluxe) / $109.99 (Premium). At a ZAR/USD rate of roughly R18.5 (May 2026), the ZA prices map as follows:
| Edition | USD | ZAR list | Implied rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $69.99 | R1,299.00 | ~R18.6/$ |
| Deluxe | $89.99 | R1,849.00 | ~R20.5/$ |
| Premium | $109.99 | R2,219.00 | ~R20.2/$ |
The Standard edition tracks close to spot FX, while the Deluxe/Premium tiers carry a modest premium versus a pure conversion — typical for Microsoft’s regional storefront ladders.
