Forza Horizon 6 (FH6) is expanding its open-world racing playground in Japan with two major post-launch expansions, confirmed by Playground Games. These DLC add-ons bring brand-new maps, cars, and events to the game, giving players plenty of reasons to return after launch.

How to Get the Expansions

There are a few ways to secure the expansions depending on the version of the game you own:

Premium Edition – Includes both Expansion 1 and Expansion 2 automatically. You also get 4 days of early access (started May 15, 2026) plus several car packs.

Premium Upgrade Bundle – Ideal for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscribers. Upgrades your base game to include both expansions and all other VIP perks.

Standalone Purchase – Players with the Standard or Deluxe editions can buy the expansions individually or as part of an expansion bundle after their release.

Make sure your account is properly synced and your library reflects ownership, so the expansions unlock automatically when released.

What the Expansions Include

While specific themes haven’t been fully revealed, FH6 follows classic franchise patterns. Here’s what players can expect:

New World Maps – Each expansion adds a massive, standalone area separate from the main Japan map.

Exclusive Cars – Brand-new vehicles not included in the base 550+ launch car list will be tied to expansion progress.

Fresh Campaigns & Events – New race series, PR stunts, and progression milestones designed for the expanded map layouts.

Themed Landscapes – Typically, one expansion features realistic or extreme terrain (like rally courses or rugged mountains), while the other brings a playful, licensed collaboration similar to past Hot Wheels or LEGO expansions.

Tips

Make sure you own the Premium Edition or Upgrade if you want automatic access.

Watch official announcements for exact release dates of the expansions’ playable maps.

Plan your festival and campaign progression around the expansions to unlock cars and rewards efficiently.

With these expansions, FH6 promises even more variety and exploration for racers who want to experience all Japan has to offer. Whether you’re chasing new cars, conquering fresh tracks, or just enjoying the scenery, there’s plenty to look forward to.
