There is a small perk waiting for players who have spent time with earlier Forza releases: Loyalty Reward cars. Once you finish the opening race in Tokyo City, FH6 checks the history linked to your Microsoft account and, if everything matches, places the eligible cars in your garage. No code, no store visit, no extra menu to hunt through. It is a handy early boost, especially when you would rather save FH6 Credits for a favourite car, a proper tune, or those upgrades that make a starter vehicle feel much less ordinary. The key detail is your account, not the machine you are playing on. A player who moved from Xbox to PC should still receive the rewards, provided they signed in with the same Microsoft account and Gamertag used in the older games. What Counts Toward Loyalty Rewards The system looks for play history from Forza Horizon, Forza Horizon 2, Forza Horizon 3, Forza Horizon 4, Forza Horizon 5, and Forza Motorsport from 2023. Each qualifying title is connected to one recognisable vehicle from that game's era, so the reward set is more than a few random garage fillers. For long-time players, these cars are little reminders of past maps, old road trips, and cover art they probably saw every time they started a game. For newer players, they are simply free cars with a bit of character. You will not need to own every older title to get something. The game only awards vehicles connected to the entries it can verify on your account. That makes it worth checking your garage after the introduction, even if you only played one or two earlier Forza games. Where the Cars Usually Appear A common mistake is expecting a big reward screen the moment the opening event ends. Sometimes the cars arrive quietly. Have a look through your garage, use the car collection filters if needed, and give the game a little time after you return to free driving. Server checks do not always happen at the exact same second for everyone. Players often restart FH6, let it reach the main menu while connected online, then enter the garage again. It sounds basic, but it gives the account sync another chance to finish. Also make sure you have not signed into a second profile by accident. This happens more often than people think, particularly on shared consoles or PCs where an older account may be selected automatically. If the Gamertag is different, even by one account, the reward history will not line up. If Your Reward Garage Is Still Empty If a car is still missing after a restart, begin with the simple checks. Confirm the Microsoft account in the Xbox app, the game itself, and your platform profile all point to the same identity. Then make sure your connection is stable and allow cloud saves to finish syncing before closing the game. Rushing out during a sync can leave things out of step for a while. It is also worth looking at official Forza channels and the support site, since reward delivery can be adjusted on the server side when a large number of accounts are affected. In some cases, nothing needs to be installed locally; the account just needs time to be processed again. If days have passed and the issue remains, send a ticket to Forza Support with your Gamertag, platform, and the previous titles you played. Keep the report short and specific. That gives the support team something useful to review instead of a vague "my cars are gone" message. Final Thoughts Loyalty cars will not instantly turn every player into the quickest driver on the road, but that is not really the point. They give returning fans a welcome starting collection, and they can be surprisingly useful before the higher-performance cars begin filling the garage. Try them in early races, take a few photos, or keep them as part of a collection that shows where you started with the series. If you want to move through events faster after sorting out your rewards, some players also choose to buy FH6 Boosting alongside their normal progress. Either way, check your account carefully, be patient with the sync, and enjoy the fact that your earlier time in Forza can still pay off in Japan.
