Forza Horizon 6 Guide: All Loyalty Rewards & How to Claim Your Free Cars

Quick Answer: You can unlock up to six legendary cover cars in Forza Horizon 6 simply by having save data from previous Forza titles on your Xbox Gamertag. These vehicles unlock automatically once you complete the Tokyo City prologue and reach your first house in the campaign.

If you have been a long-time resident of the Horizon Festival, your loyalty is finally paying off in a major way. Forza Horizon 6 isn’t just dropping you into the neon-soaked streets of Japan with a basic starter; it’s handing over the keys to some of the most iconic machines in the franchise’s history.

From the screeching V10 of the Huracán to the high-tech hybrid power of the AMG ONE, these rewards are designed to give veterans a massive head start. Here is everything you need to know about which games qualify you for these freebies and how to get them into your garage.

The Forza Horizon 6 Loyalty Car List

The devs have selected six specific cars—mostly cover stars—to reward players who have stuck with the series over the years. Interestingly, while most are the literal “box art” cars, there is one surprise for the Forza Horizon 4 veterans.

How to Claim Your Rewards

The best part about this system is that you don’t have to go digging through menus or hunting for obscure codes. The game does the heavy lifting for you by checking your Xbox Gamertag for existing save data.

To trigger the delivery, follow these steps:

• Launch Forza Horizon 6 and complete the initial “Welcome to Tokyo” introductory race.
• Play through the opening prologue missions until the game directs you to your first house and garage.
• Once you have officially “unlocked” your home base, the loyalty cars will be added to your collection.

Don’t panic if they don’t show up the exact millisecond the cutscene ends. There is often a slight server delay as the game verifies your history, but they should appear in your “My Cars” list within a few minutes of finishing the tutorial.

While you are out exploring the new map in your high-powered rewards, keep an eye out for other hidden gems. If you want to expand your collection even further, check out our Forza Horizon 6 guide on finding all Treasure Car locations to snag some rare finds tucked away in Japan’s corners.

Rules for Using Your New Fleet

While it is tempting to take a Lamborghini Centenario straight into a Tier 1 street race, the game has some guardrails in place. Playground Games is trying to fix the “too much, too fast” progression problem that some players felt in previous entries.

Race Restrictions and Tiers

You can drive your loyalty rewards in the open world the moment you get them. If you want to hit Drift Zones, Speed Traps, or just cruise the highways, go for it. However, actual race events are locked behind Wristband tiers. You will need to level up your campaign rank before the game lets you enter these high-class S1 and S2 vehicles into official competitions.

The Delisting Dilemma

There is a catch if you are a newcomer hoping to “back-collect” these cars. Because Forza Horizon 1 through 4 have been delisted from digital stores due to licensing, you can’t simply go out and buy them now to trigger the rewards. You either need to have played them in the past or track down a physical disc for the older titles to create that crucial save data.

Launch Details and File Sizes

Forza Horizon 6 officially hits the streets on May 19, 2026. If you picked up the Premium Edition, your early access head start begins on May 15. Make sure you have cleared enough space on your drive, as this is a massive world.

• PC File Size: 156.65 GB
• Xbox Series X|S File Size: 144.84 GB

Whether you are jumping in on day one or waiting for the PlayStation 5 release later this year, these loyalty rewards are a fantastic way to honor the history of the festival.
