You can start Forza Horizon 6 with some MUCH better cars — so long as you played a previous Forza game
Forza Horizon 6 has officially gone gold ahead of its May 19 launch, with Playground Games announcing a loyalty rewards program for players returning from previous entries in the franchise. Anyone who has played any Forza Horizon game—from the original through recent releases—or the rebooted Forza Motorsport from 2023 will begin Forza Horizon 6 with an enhanced starting garage.
The reward program grants returning players access to premium vehicles that would normally require progression to unlock. Rather than offering throwaway cosmetics or low-tier cars, the rewards consist of desirable, high-quality vehicles that players will actively want to use and that carry genuine prestige within their starting collection.
The initiative reflects Playground Games’ appreciation for the Forza community’s sustained engagement across the franchise. By recognizing participation across multiple Forza titles—both the arcade-oriented Horizon series and the simulation-focused Motorsport reboot—the rewards acknowledge players’ broader investment in the Forza ecosystem. This cross-game recognition rewards long-term franchise loyalty rather than favoring only recent players, creating a meaningful advantage for veterans while signaling the studio’s gratitude for their continued support through the series’ evolution.
