Forza Horizon 6 releases on May 19th. You can preload the game now. The numbers are serious: 134.86 GB on Xbox Series X, a full 146.4 GB on the Windows Store. Considering the scale of the open world, why not?
Playground Games spent five years working on the successor to the fifth installment. Therefore, the amount of work put into it is colossal. And now the developers have decided to please veterans: if you played Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5, you’ll get two powerful hypercars at the start. For a five-year-old, you’ll get a 2021 Mercedes-AMG One, and for a four-year-old, you’ll get an Aston Martin Vulcan, which is already 10 years old.
This, however, has generated mixed reactions. Some in the community believe that giving out such fast cars at the very beginning would disrupt the progression. And given all the possible bonuses, some players could even grab around a dozen cars at the start. Some users are even talking about creating new accounts to start the game from scratch—to maintain that feeling of gradual progression.
By the way, questions remain for Playground Games. Will there be rewards for even earlier games in the series—Forza Horizon 1, 2, 3, as well as the Forza Motorsport series? Not everyone understood thechoice of Aston Martin for Forza Horizon 4. Many were expecting, for example, the McLaren Senna.

How can I check my profile status for rewards in Forza Horizon 6?
Xbox Live monitors your progress in Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5 in the background, pulling your achievement history directly into the new game. To make sure everything is under control, visit the Forza Hub or the official forza.net portal. After logging in with your Xbox account, check the Forza Rewards section—this is where your Forza Score and the number of cars collected are recorded.
Progress synchronization starts automatically the first time you launch Forza Horizon 6. Patience is key. Wait until the progress bar in the progress menu reaches 100%, otherwise the gift Mercedes-AMG One and Aston Martin Vulcan simply won’t appear in your garage. This would be a shame.
What should I do if Forza Horizon 6 bonuses aren’t showing up?
If your Tier is higher than Tier 2 (minimum Tier 2 for series veterans), loyalty rewards are guaranteed. Tier level directly affects the amount of weekly credit payouts, but legacy cars are only credited once, based on your account history. Encountered a sync bug? Don’t panic. Try restarting Forza Hub, check your Xbox connection, and update your profile information in your console settings. Keep in mind that data is stored in the cloud, and delays of up to 24 hours are common on release day.
If you’re still waiting, you can contact Turn 10 support directly at support.forzamotorsport.net. When submitting a ticket, be sure to include your gamertag and include screenshots from the Rewards section with a list of completed chapters (FH4/FH5). Support will manually check your eligibility and force the sync process. It works.
Pre-download is now open—you have two weeks to download 134+ GB on Xbox or 146+ GB on PC. Yes, it’s a hefty amount, but for Forza Horizon 6, it seems justified. Are you waiting?
