All Forza Horizons 6 Editions explained – which one should you buy?

Forza Horizon 6 is getting the full big-budget racing game treatment when it launches later this month, with multiple editions, upgrade packs, VIP perks, and future expansions already confirmed by Forza.net.

Hopefully, you managed to swerve the temptation of downloading the leaked version and getting yourself a lifetime ban, so you will be interested in what the different legit packages have to offer.

As you definitely would expect, the Standard Edition is the cheapest way to jump into the open-world racer, but players wanting early access and the complete package will need to look at the Premium Edition or the Premium Upgrade bundle.

The biggest selling point for Premium Edition owners is four days of early access, allowing players to hit the roads from May 15 instead of the official May 19 launch. On top of that, it includes VIP Membership, the Welcome Pack, the 30-car Car Pass, and both planned expansions.

The Deluxe Edition sits in the middle, adding the Car Pass and Welcome Pack, but skipping the expansions and VIP bonuses. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can simply buy the Premium Upgrade bundle to unlock all the extra content without needing to purchase the base game separately.

Microsoft has also confirmed standalone car packs and an Expansions Bundle for players who want to pick and choose later on rather than commit upfront.

Below is the full breakdown of every edition and add-on currently confirmed for Forza Horizon 6, and while you ponder your purchasing decision, check out the full soundtrack you will be playing along to.
