Yes, FH6 is available on Xbox Game Pass (Console, PC, and Ultimate tiers) as a day-one release. Game Pass gives you the Standard Edition. You do not get the Car Pass, VIP membership, Welcome Pack, or expansion DLCs with Game Pass — those require the Premium Add-Ons Bundle ($39.99) or buying the Premium Edition outright.

Which FH6 edition should I buy?

If you have Game Pass: buy the Premium Add-Ons Bundle for $39.99. You get everything from the Premium Edition for less than buying the full Premium game, and if you ever drop Game Pass, you can buy the Standard Edition on sale for $30 and still keep all your DLC. If you don't have Game Pass: the Premium Edition ($99.99) is the best value — it includes the base game, Car Pass, VIP, Welcome Pack, and both expansion DLCs. The Deluxe Edition ($79.99) is the worst value — it only adds the Car Pass, missing VIP and expansions.

Is the FH6 Premium Edition worth it?

For most players, yes. The Car Pass alone gives you 42 cars (one per week for 42 weeks) that typically cost $2.99 each if bought individually. The two expansions (roughly $20-25 each when released) add 30+ hours of content. VIP doubles your credit earnings and gives weekly super wheelspins — over a year, that's worth roughly 50-80 million credits. If you plan to play FH6 for more than 2-3 months, the Premium Edition pays for itself.

FH6 Which Edition to Buy? Standard vs Deluxe vs Premium + Game Pass Guide

By Alex Chen · July 25, 2026 · 6 min read

TL;DR

Have Game Pass? Buy the Premium Add-Ons Bundle ($39.99). You get all Premium content without paying for the base game twice. Don't have Game Pass? Buy Premium Edition ($99.99). Best value for the full experience. Avoid the Deluxe Edition ($79.99). It's the worst value proposition — you miss VIP and expansions for only $20 less than Premium.

What Each Edition Includes

The Standard Edition ($69.99) is the base game. No extras. If you buy this and later want the Car Pass and expansions, you'll pay $39.99 for the Premium Add-Ons Bundle — bringing your total to $109.98, more than just buying Premium upfront.

The Deluxe Edition ($79.99) is Standard + Car Pass. For $10 more than Standard, you get 42 weekly Cars. But for $20 more than Deluxe, you get Premium — which adds VIP (double credits forever), the Welcome Pack (5 pre-tuned cars + a player house + clothing), and both expansions when they release. The Deluxe-to-Premium gap is only $20 but VIP alone is worth more than that in in-game credits over a few months of play. The Deluxe Edition exists to make Premium look like a better deal — and it works.

The Premium Edition ($99.99) is everything. Base game, Car Pass, VIP, Welcome Pack, and both expansions.

The Game Pass Strategy

FH6 is a day-one Game Pass title. If you have Game Pass (Console, PC, or Ultimate), you already have the Standard Edition at no additional cost. The optimal strategy: buy the Premium Add-Ons Bundle for $39.99. This upgrades your Game Pass Standard Edition to effectively the Premium Edition — Car Pass, VIP, Welcome Pack, and expansions — for $40.

Total effective cost: $39.99 one-time plus your ongoing Game Pass subscription (which you presumably already have for other games). If you ever drop Game Pass, the Standard Edition routinely goes on sale for $30 — buy it then and your Premium Add-Ons carry over. Total all-in: $69.99, or exactly the Standard Edition price for the full Premium experience.

This is the objectively correct financial move for Game Pass subscribers. There is no scenario where buying the Premium Edition outright ($99.99) makes more sense if you already pay for Game Pass.

Is Premium Worth $99.99?

If you don't have Game Pass: yes, Premium is worth it — provided you'll play FH6 for more than 2-3 months. The Car Pass delivers 42 cars over 42 weeks. If you're a weekly player checking in for the new seasonal content, you'll naturally collect all 42. If you're the type to binge for 3 weeks and move on, you won't get the full Car Pass value.

The expansions are the wildcard. FH5's expansions (Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure) added roughly 25-35 hours of content each and retailed for $19.99 and $24.99 respectively. FH6's expansions haven't been announced yet, but the track record suggests they'll be comparable. If you're confident you'll buy both expansions, the Premium Edition is cheaper than Standard + expansions bought separately.

What VIP Actually Does (Beyond the Marketing)

The store page says VIP gives you "double credits, weekly super wheelspins, exclusive cars, and more." Here's what that actually means in practice:

Double credits: Every race reward, wheelspin credit payout, and Forzathon reward is doubled. If you play regularly, this is worth roughly 50-80 million extra credits over a year. It sounds exaggerated, but 2x is genuinely transformative — it cuts the grind for expensive cars in half.
Weekly super wheelspins: 3 spins per wheelspin instead of 1. That's roughly 50-60 extra cars and hundreds of thousands of extra credits per month. Over a year, this is worth roughly 10-15 million credits and fills your garage with cars you'd otherwise pay for at the Autoshow.
Exclusive VIP cars: Usually 3-5 cars that are only available to VIP members. Historically these have been mid-tier performance cars, not meta-defining racers. They're collector's items.
Vanity items: A crown icon next to your name, exclusive clothing, a player house. Fluff.

The real value of VIP is the credit multiplier. If you plan to buy cars at the Autoshow (rather than only using wheelspin/playlist cars), VIP pays for itself in saved grind time within the first 2-3 months.

Car Pass Value: The Math

The Car Pass delivers 42 cars, one per week. Each car would typically cost $2.99 if bought individually as DLC. Total individual value: ~$125. Car Pass cost as part of Premium Add-Ons or Premium Edition: effectively $10-20 depending on how you allocate the bundle value. The Car Pass is the strongest argument for going Premium — the weekly drip feed of new cars keeps the game fresh for nearly a year.

Bottom line: Game Pass + Premium Add-Ons Bundle = best deal. Premium Edition = second best. Deluxe Edition = skip. Standard Edition = only if you're a casual player who'll bounce off in under a month.
