[Emberfire]

If you're wondering whether you can race with your friends across Xbox and PC in Forza Horizon 6, the answer is a definite yes! Forza Horizon 6 offers full cross-platform features, ensuring a smooth and exciting experience for players on both Xbox and PC. Whether you’re on an Xbox Series X|S or a Windows PC, the game has you covered. Here’s what you need to know about the cross-platform features:

Cross-Play: Play Together, No Matter the Platform

When Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, players on Xbox and PC (via the Microsoft Store or Steam) will be able to race together from the get-go. Cross-play ensures that whether you’re in a living room on Xbox or at your desk on PC, you can join forces with friends without worrying about platform restrictions.

Cross-Save (Cross-Progression): Your Progress is Safe

One of the coolest new features in Forza Horizon 6 is cross-save, also known as cross-progression. This means that your game progress — including unlocked cars, races, and achievements — is saved to the cloud. You can seamlessly switch between Xbox and PC without losing any of your hard-earned progress. For the first time in the Forza Horizon series, this feature extends to the Steam version too. Now, you can play on your Xbox console, then pick up exactly where you left off on your PC.

Xbox Play Anywhere: No Extra Cost for Dual Play

With Forza Horizon 6 being part of the Xbox Play Anywhere initiative, if you buy a digital copy through the Microsoft Store or Xbox App, you get a single license that works across both Xbox consoles and PC. That means no need to buy the game twice or worry about separate licenses. Just pick your preferred platform and enjoy the game wherever you go — at no extra cost.

Available Editions for Pre-Order

For those eager to get their hands on the game early, Forza Horizon 6 is available for pre-order in different editions:

Standard Edition: Includes the base game and a pre-order bonus car, the Ferrari J50.

Deluxe Edition: Comes with the base game, pre-order bonus, and a Car Pass (which includes 30 additional cars).

Premium Edition: The full package with all Deluxe content plus 4 days of early access (starting May 15), a VIP Membership, a Welcome Pack, and two future expansions.

With full cross-platform support, Forza Horizon 6 is set to be one of the most connected and accessible games in the series, ensuring that no matter where you play, you can race alongside friends and never lose track of your progress.
