For setup help, read the full Forza Horizon 6 crossplay guide. For couch co-op questions, check the FH6 split screen guide before buying a second controller.

Controls and Wheel Setup

FH6 supports controller, keyboard, and many racing wheels, but wheel quality depends on the model, platform, drivers, and force feedback settings. Update wheel firmware first, then tune one setting at a time.

For recommended settings and troubleshooting, use the Forza Horizon 6 steering wheel setup guide.

Cars, Credits and Progression

Cars can be earned through the Autoshow, Wheelspins, rewards, the Auction House, Collection Journal progress, seasonal events, Barn Finds, DLC, and special unlocks. For faster garage progress, focus on reward loops instead of buying every car early.

Start with the FH6 cars hub, then use the Backstage Passes guide and Skill Points guide to speed up progression. For sideways setups, read the FH6 drift guide.
