Forza Horizon 6 is packed with content, and its two major expansion packs promise new locations, cars, and exciting gameplay. If you want to jump into these expansions, heres everything you need to know.
How to Access the Expansions
To play the expansions, you need either:
- Premium Edition includes the base game and both expansions, plus extra goodies.
- Premium Upgrade Bundle perfect for Standard or Deluxe Edition owners and Xbox Game Pass subscribers, adding the expansions and other premium content to your game.
In-Game Steps
While the expansions will officially release after the main game launch, the way you access them will likely follow this familiar pattern:
- Unlock the Open World: Finish the tutorial and the early Horizon Festival races to unlock the full map of Japan.
- Locate Expansion Areas: Once released, new markers will appear on your map. You can either drive to these or select them from the Expansions tab in the pause menu to fast-travel.
- Check Your Downloads: Make sure the expansion files are installed. On Xbox, go to Manage Game and Add-ons; on PC, check your Microsoft Store or Steam library. Expansions often require a separate download from the base game.
Expansion Availability and Pricing
- Included in Bundles: Both Expansion 1 and Expansion 2 come with the Premium Edition ($119.99) or Premium Upgrade Bundle ($59.99).
- Individual Purchase: You can buy each expansion separately once released, usually around $20 each.
- Release Timing: As of May 2026, the exact themes and launch dates for the expansions havent been fully announced. Theyll be added after the main game drops on May 19, 2026.
Premium Edition Features
Buying the Premium Edition or Upgrade Bundle adds even more value:
- Early Access: Play the full game starting May 15, 2026, four days before the standard release.
- Car Pass: 30 new cars delivered weekly.
- VIP Membership: Double race credits, exclusive Forza Edition cars, a crown flair, and a free player house.
- Welcome Pack: Five pre-tuned cars plus one car voucher for any vehicle from the Autoshow.
Owning the expansions and Premium content ensures youre ready to explore every corner of Forza Horizon 6s massive Japan map, with the fastest cars and all the perks.
