Forza Horizon 6 Premium Edition is $120, even more expensive than the previous game, and it still doesn't include all DLC

Forza Horizon 6 looked extremely impressive during today's Xbox Developer Direct, with a gorgeous take on Japan and some seemingly smart tweaks to progression on display. If you're ready to buy all the way in, you might want to take a little caution, however, as the game is going to be notably more expensive than its predecessor at pretty much every level.

If you just want the game itself, Forza Horizon 6 is $70, up ten bucks from the $60 price point that Forza Horizon 5 launched at back in 2021. The Deluxe Edition has had an even bigger price hike, up to $100 from the previous $80. The Deluxe version of 6 features a Car Pass with an array of additional vehicles, the same as in 5, but it sweetens the deal with a Welcome Pack including five pre-tuned cars, a free player house, and some additional goodies.

The Premium Edition, then, takes the price all the way up to $120 – which, again, is a big price hike from the $100 Premium version of the fifth game. You can get a full breakdown of all the content in each version on the official site, but the big bonuses for Premium buyers are VIP membership, additional car packs, and access to two major expansions. Oh, and four days of early access ahead of the May 19 release date.

Note the fine print shown on Steam, however: "Any additional content including (but not limited to) Car Packs is not included in the Deluxe or Premium Editions or in the Premium Upgrade. Cars featured in any other DLC Car Packs are not included with the VIP Membership or Car Pass." That's been the case with previous Forza Horizon games, too, but it does sting a little harder with the price hike added in.
