Forza Horizon 6 hits the streets on May 19, 2026, and the excitement doesn’t stop at launch. Two major expansions—Expansion 1 and Expansion 2—are set to expand the game with new areas, vehicles, and challenges. Here’s everything you need to know to get them.
How to Get Expansion 1 and 2
You have a few ways to secure these expansions, depending on how much content you want and which edition of the game you own:
Premium Edition ($119.99)
Includes the base game and both expansions.
Comes with 4-day early access starting May 15, 2026.
Ideal if you want everything upfront.
Premium Upgrade Bundle ($59.99)
Perfect for Game Pass subscribers or players with the Standard/Deluxe editions.
Adds all premium content, including both expansions and early access, to your existing game.
Expansions Bundle
A standalone pack containing both major expansions.
Great if you already own the base game and just want the DLC.
Individual Purchase
Each expansion will be sold separately (roughly $19.99 each) after release.
Offers flexibility if you only want one expansion.
What’s Inside the Expansions
While official themes haven’t been revealed, history shows that Forza Horizon expansions usually include:
New Map Locations: Explore entirely new areas beyond the main Japan map.
Exclusive Vehicles: Unique cars tied to the expansion’s theme.
Themed Campaigns: Fresh races, PR stunts, and progression systems to unlock.
DLC Release Timeline
Game Launch: May 19, 2026 (May 15 for Premium Edition)
Expansions: Usually arrive within the first 6–12 months after launch.
