The Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass is the one paid add-on in FH6 that hands you a brand-new car every single week — 30 cars in total across the game's first months. This week (July 2, 2026) it's dropping the 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary, an iconic JDM legend, straight into your garage for free if you own the pass.
But is the Car Pass actually worth $30, which cars are confirmed, and — the question the community keeps asking — can you get all these cars without buying the pass at all? This guide lays out the full schedule, this week's car, exactly how claiming works, and the smartest way to end up with every Car Pass vehicle in your garage.
Quick answer (TL;DR)
- What it is: A $29.99 add-on that gives Car Pass owners one new car per week for 30 weeks (30 cars total), starting May 19, 2026 and running through roughly early December 2026.
- This week's car (July 2, 2026): the 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary.
- Included free with: the Deluxe and Premium Editions of FH6. Standard Edition owners buy it separately.
- The catch most guides miss: you do not need the Car Pass to get the cars. Once a Car Pass car has released, it enters the regular Autoshow to buy with in-game Credits — the pass just saves you the CR and gives it to you free on drop day.
- Fastest way to own them all: grab FH6 Credits and buy every released Car Pass car outright, or skip straight to a full garage with the All-Cars Bundle.
What is the Car Pass in Forza Horizon 6?
The Car Pass is a downloadable add-on that drip-feeds you exclusive-at-launch cars on a weekly clock. As the official listing spells it out:
"The Car Pass is a downloadable discount pass for Forza Horizon 6... $29.99 / 29.99 € / £29.99 / AU$49.95 / ¥4,200 — released May 15, 2026 for Premium Edition owners and May 19, 2026 for all other editions."
Here are the hard numbers:
- 30 cars total, delivered one per week over a ~30-week window.
- Start date: May 19, 2026 (Premium owners got early access from May 15).
- Price: $29.99 standalone — or free if you already own the Deluxe or Premium Edition.
- End date: the final car lands around early December 2026 if the weekly cadence holds.
Every Wednesday-ish, a new car unlocks. If you own the pass, it drops into your garage automatically — no race to win, no Wheelspin RNG, no Auction House sniping. Just log in and it's yours.
Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass schedule — all confirmed cars
Playground Games reveals the Car Pass lineup on a rolling basis rather than dumping the full 30 up front, so the back half of the list fills in week by week. Here are the confirmed drops so far, in order:
| # | Car | Release date |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32) | May 19, 2026 |
| 2 | 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera | May 28, 2026 |
| 3 | Datsun #269 ATCR 240Z Time Attack | June 4, 2026 |
| 4 | 2008 Honda Civic Type R | June 11, 2026 |

| 7 | 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary | July 2, 2026 (this week) |
| 8 | 2023 Toyota GR Corolla | July 9, 2026 |
That's 8 of 30 confirmed. The remaining 22 unlock weekly through the rest of 2026 — this guide is refreshed as each new car is announced, so bookmark it to track the full list.
What is the Car Pass car this week? (July 2, 2026)
This week's drop is the 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary — a special-edition R34-era GT-R celebrating four decades of the Skyline name. It's a natural fit for FH6's Japan setting and slots straight into the JDM-heavy meta the community has been building around since launch.
If you own the Car Pass, it's already claimable from your Messages / garage as of July 2. If you don't, it becomes buyable in the Autoshow with Credits now that it's live (more on that next). Next week (July 9) the pass moves on to the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla, a modern rally-bred hot hatch.
Can you get Car Pass cars without buying the pass?
Yes — and this is the part that changes the math. The Car Pass doesn't lock these cars away forever. Once a Car Pass car has had its weekly release, it becomes available in the standard Autoshow to purchase with in-game Credits, the same as almost any other car in the game.
What the pass actually buys you is:
- The car for free on release day (you skip the Credit cost), and
- A one-time free copy added to your garage the moment it drops.
Everyone else can still add that exact same car — they just pay for it in Credits at the Autoshow after it goes live. So the real question isn't "pass or no cars" — it's "pay $30 for convenience, or pay in Credits you can farm or top up?"
That's the wedge worth knowing: if you've got Credits (or top them up), you can build the entire Car Pass collection without ever buying the pass — buying each car from the Autoshow as it releases. And if you'd rather not chase 30 weekly drops one at a time, the All-Cars Bundle puts every car in the game — Car Pass vehicles included — in your garage at once.
Is the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass worth it?
Verdict: worth it if you play FH6 weekly all season; skip it if you're a casual or credit-rich player. Here's the honest breakdown.
Buy the Car Pass if:
- You log in most weeks and want each new car free on drop day with zero grind.
- You care about top-end speed — the 2024 Koenigsegg Gemera alone is one of the fastest cars in FH6, and a couple of Car Pass halo cars can pay back the $30 in bragging rights fast.
- You value a steadily growing garage and enjoy the weekly "new car" hit.
- You're buying Deluxe or Premium anyway — then it's already included, so it's a non-decision.
Skip the Car Pass if:
- You play casually or dip in and out — you'll miss free-claim windows and end up buying the cars with Credits later regardless.
- You're Credit-rich. FH6 hands out cars constantly through progression, Wheelspins, Super Wheelspins, and the Festival Playlist. Thirty extra cars you can also just buy may not justify $30.
- You only want specific Car Pass cars — cheaper to buy those two or three from the Autoshow with Credits than to pay for all 30.
The blunt take: the Car Pass sells convenience and timing, not exclusivity. The cars aren't gated behind it long-term. If your Credit balance is healthy, you can own every one of them without the pass — which is exactly why so many players farm Credits (or top them up) instead.
How to claim and use your Car Pass cars
If you own the Car Pass (standalone or via Deluxe/Premium), here's the routine:
- Log in on or after release day (each car drops on its scheduled date above).
- Check your Messages / notifications — the new car is added to your garage automatically, or claimable from the in-game message.
- Find it under My Cars filtered by "recently added." No race, Wheelspin, or purchase required.
- Repeat weekly. Miss a week? The car doesn't vanish — you can still claim past Car Pass cars you own the pass for, and non-owners can buy them from the Autoshow with Credits.
One tip: several Car Pass cars are strong in the current meta (the Gemera for outright speed, JDM icons like the Skyline GT-R for the Japan-themed Festival Playlist events). Check each new drop's class and PI before selling or ignoring it — a "free" Car Pass car is sometimes a top pick for The Trial or a weekly Seasonal Event.
FAQ
How many cars are in the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass? The Car Pass includes 30 cars total, delivered one per week starting May 19, 2026 and running roughly through early December 2026. Playground Games reveals the lineup on a rolling basis, so not all 30 are announced up front — new cars are confirmed each week.
What is the Car Pass car this week (July 2, 2026)? The July 2 Car Pass car is the 1998 Nissan Skyline GT-R 40th Anniversary. The following week (July 9) is the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla.
How much does the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass cost? It's $29.99 (€29.99 / £29.99 / AU$49.95 / ¥4,200) as a standalone purchase. It's also included free with the Deluxe and Premium Editions of FH6.
Can you get Car Pass cars without buying the pass? Yes. After a Car Pass car has had its weekly release, it becomes available in the Autoshow to buy with in-game Credits like most other cars. The pass simply gives owners the car free on drop day and saves the Credits — it doesn't lock the car away permanently.
Is the Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass worth it? It's worth it if you play weekly and want each new car free the day it drops, or if you're chasing halo speed cars like the Koenigsegg Gemera. If you play casually or have plenty of Credits, you can just buy the cars you want from the Autoshow instead — so many players skip the pass and top up Credits.
Do you keep Car Pass cars forever? Yes. Once a Car Pass car is in your garage it's permanent, just like any other car you own. Owning the pass also lets you claim any past Car Pass cars you haven't collected yet.
