Forza Horizon 6 rewards returning players with better starter cars

Forza Horizon 6 has gone gold ahead of its May 19 launch, and Playground Games is giving longtime Forza players a useful early bonus. If you played earlier Forza Horizon games or the 2023 Forza Motorsport reboot with the same Xbox Gamertag, you will receive extra cars in Forza Horizon 6 after finishing the Tokyo City introduction race with Mei.

These are not basic starter cars. They include several high performance and prestige vehicles that can give your garage a strong start before you spend in game credits.

Forza Motorsport players get the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E Ray.

Forza Horizon 5 players get the 2021 Mercedes AMG ONE.

Forza Horizon 4 players get the 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan.

Forza Horizon 3 players get the 2016 Lamborghini Centenario LP 770 4.

Forza Horizon 2 players get the 2014 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610 4.

Forza Horizon players get the 2013 Dodge SRT Viper GTS.

This is a smart reward system because it recognizes people who have stayed with the series across multiple generations. If you have played every listed game, you should receive all six cars. If you only played one or two, you will receive the cars tied to those entries.

The reward also has real value at launch. Forza Horizon 6 will include more than 550 cars, so you will have plenty to collect over time. Still, getting cars like the AMG ONE, Aston Martin Vulcan, and Lamborghini Centenario early means you can start with something more exciting than a normal opening lineup.

The process is simple. You do not need a special code or separate claim page. The game checks your Xbox Gamertag history. Once you complete the opening race, the eligible cars should appear in your garage.

This kind of loyalty reward fits Forza well. The series has built a long term community across Xbox and PC, and many players have been racing since the original Forza Horizon. Giving those players a better garage from the start is a small but meaningful thank you.

Forza Horizon 6 already looks like a large launch, with Tokyo as the opening setting, a 550 car lineup, and several returning features. These loyalty cars add one more reason for longtime players to jump in early.
