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

Q: Can you use the loyalty cars right away?

You can drive them in free roam and open-world events like Danger Signs and Drift Zones immediately. Race events are different. Forza Horizon 6 restricts faster car classes to later Wristband events in the campaign, so you won't be able to enter a Lamborghini Centenario into a race the moment you claim it. You'll need to progress through the appropriate Wristband tier first. This is deliberate. The game addresses a long-standing criticism of the series: that powerful cars arrive too quickly and flatten any sense of progression. The loyalty rewards sidestep this slightly for veterans, but the race restrictions keep the campaign structure intact.

Forza Horizon 6 hands long-time Forza players up to six free cars just for having played earlier titles on the same Xbox Gamertag. These aren't filler vehicles — each one is a cover car from its respective game, so you're looking at machines like the 2021 Mercedes-AMG ONE and the 2016 Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 sitting in your garage before you've even finished the prologue. Here's every loyalty reward, which game unlocks it, and how to collect them.

What are the Forza Horizon 6 loyalty rewards?

Playground Games confirmed six loyalty reward cars tied to save data from previous Forza games. Five come from the Horizon series, starting with the original Forza Horizon. The sixth comes from the 2023 Forza Motorsport reboot. Every car on this list is the cover vehicle for its game, with one exception: the Forza Horizon 4 reward is the 2016 Aston Martin Vulcan, not the McLaren Senna that appeared on that game's box art.

How do you claim the loyalty rewards in Forza Horizon 6?

The process is automatic. No redemption menu, no codes. Your Xbox Gamertag just needs to be linked to the qualifying titles. Once that's confirmed, here's what happens:

Start Forza Horizon 6 and finish the introductory race in Tokyo City.
Progress through the prologue until you unlock your first house and garage.
The loyalty reward cars will appear in your garage automatically after that point.

There's a small delay between finishing the prologue and the cars actually showing up, so give it a minute if they don't appear immediately.

warning

Forza Horizon 1, 2, 3, and 4 have all been delisted from the Xbox Store. If you don't already own them and don't have a disc, you cannot go back and qualify for those rewards now.

info

Use your loyalty reward cars for exploration and skill chain farming in open-world events while you work through the early Wristband tiers. You'll rack up XP and credits without needing to wait for race access.

Are the loyalty rewards worth going back for older games?

Only if you already own them. The Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 and the Mercedes-AMG ONE are genuinely desirable cars to have early, but FH1 through FH4 are delisted. There's no practical route to qualifying for those rewards unless you already have save data. The Forza Motorsport reward (the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray) and the Forza Horizon 5 reward (the 2021 Mercedes-AMG ONE) are the most accessible for most players since both games are still readily available.

For context on what else is in the garage, the full Forza Horizon 6 car list and how to unlock every vehicle covers Barn Finds, secret cars, and the complete roster beyond just loyalty rewards.
