Forza Horizon 6 is on Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release. It arrives on May 19 for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. However, not every Game Pass plan gets it. If you are on a lower tier, you will need to upgrade or buy the game separately.
Which Game Pass Tiers Include Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 is available on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate from day one. It is not available on Game Pass Essential, Game Pass Premium, or the new Starter tier.
Game Pass Ultimate costs $22.99 a month, while PC Game Pass costs $13.99. Both give you the Standard Edition of Forza Horizon 6 at no extra cost on launch day.
Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members will have access to the Forza Horizon 6 Standard Edition included at no additional cost and will be able to play the full game on Xbox Series X|S (Ultimate only), PC, and Cloud Gaming.
What the Standard Edition Covers on Game Pass
Only the Standard Edition of the game is part of Game Pass. That means you get the full base game, but none of the premium extras.
If you want to play the game a few days early on May 15, you need to pre-order the $120 / £110 Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition, which does not require a Game Pass subscription. That edition also includes two post-launch expansions, two Car Packs, the Welcome Pack, the Car Pass, and VIP membership.
The Premium Upgrade Bundle for Game Pass Subscribers
Game Pass subscribers who want early access and premium content without buying the full Premium Edition have another option. If you already plan to play Forza Horizon 6 through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, there is a special Forza Horizon 6 Premium Upgrade Bundle that removes the base game, since it assumes you already have access through Game Pass. It is available on the Xbox Store at $59.99 / £59.99.
The Premium Upgrade includes VIP Membership, the Welcome Pack, the Time Attack Car Pack, and the Car Pass, which delivers 30 new cars to your game one per week. It also includes the Italian Passion Car Pack and two premium post-launch expansions.

Forza Horizon 6 is available on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Forza Horizon 6 is also verified for Steam Deck and optimized for PC gaming handhelds at launch on May 19.
Forza Horizon 6 is also coming to PlayStation 5 consoles later in 2026. That PS5 version will not be part of any Game Pass plan.
