Premium Access Starts May 15 in Forza Horizon 6 Steam Leak

The forza horizon 6 steam leak points to a May 15 start for early access for Premium Edition owners and Premium Upgrade Bundle buyers. The Standard Edition is set for May 19, so the paid tier opens four days earlier for players who want to jump in first.

Premium Edition on Xbox Store

The Premium Edition bundles the base game, early access, VIP Membership, a Welcome Pack, a Time Attack Car Pack, a Car Pass, a post-launch Italian Passion Car Pack, and access to two post-launch expansions. It costs £109.99 / $119.99 on the Xbox Store, which is the full price players pay for the complete package rather than a stripped-down upgrade.

For anyone already planning to play through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, the Premium Upgrade Bundle is the cheaper route. It removes the base game from the package because the buyer is assumed to already have access through Game Pass.

£59.99 Premium Upgrade Bundle

The Premium Upgrade Bundle costs £59.99 / $59.99 on the Xbox Store. It gives the same early access starting May 15, so the decision is less about access and more about whether the extra add-ons are worth paying for up front.

That split leaves players with two clear paths. They can pay for the full Premium Edition, or they can keep their Game Pass access and buy only the upgrade content tied to early access and the post-launch extras.

Xbox Play Anywhere access

Forza Horizon 6 is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, and buying the Xbox console version gives the PC version for free. That makes the purchase decision more flexible for players who move between console and PC, but the May 15 window still depends on buying into the Premium tier.

The unresolved piece is pricing outside the Xbox Store, since the available figures only cover the Xbox Store listings for the Premium Edition and Premium Upgrade Bundle.
