The Welcome Pack is one of the first pieces of paid content attached to Forza Horizon 6, and it's built around giving new arrivals a usable garage from minute one. Five pre-tuned Legendary cars, a free Autoshow voucher, and three clothing item tickets land in your inventory once the pack is active, covering everything from a track-focused Ferrari to a dirt-ready Ford pickup.
Quick answer: The Welcome Pack includes the 2021 BMW M4 Competition Coupé, 2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo, 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R, 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, and 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR, plus one Autoshow car voucher and three Common/Rare clothing vouchers.
What the Welcome Pack actually includes
The pack is bundled with the Deluxe Edition and Premium Edition, and it can also be bought on its own for $4.99 if you're on the Standard Edition. It became purchasable on May 19, 2026, and Premium owners had it active from early access on May 15.
Five cars carry a special "Welcome Pack" tag in the garage. These are pre-tuned variants, meaning their Performance Index has already been pushed above the stock version of the same model in some cases (notably the M4 jumping into S1 territory and the AMG GT into S2). Alongside the cars, the inventory drop covers:
- 1 Autoshow Car Voucher (good for any standard Autoshow car, excluding Festival Playlist-exclusive, Forza Edition, and DLC cars)
- 3 vouchers for Common or Rare clothing items
The Autoshow voucher is the quietly valuable piece here. Early credits are tight in Horizon 6, and burning a free pick on something like a high-tier Autoshow car saves a sizable grind before you've even unlocked steady race payouts.
The five Welcome Pack cars
| Car | Class | PI | Drivetrain | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2021 BMW M4 Competition Coupé 'Welcome Pack' | Modern Super Saloons | S1-800 | RWD | 150,000 CR |
2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo 'Welcome Pack' | Extreme Track Toys | R-998 | RWD | 250,000 CR |
2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R 'Welcome Pack' | Pickups & 4×4's | B-600 | AWD | 50,000 CR |
2020 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series 'Welcome Pack' | Track Toys | S2-900 | RWD | 200,000 CR |
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR 'Welcome Pack' | Extreme Track Toys | A-700 | AWD | 100,000 CR |
2021 BMW M4 Competition Coupé
The Welcome Pack M4 sits at PI 800 in the S1 class, a notable bump over the stock 2021 M4 Competition that lives around the mid-A class in its Autoshow form. Rear-wheel drive, balanced stats across speed and handling, and it works as a fairly forgiving daily for road races early on.
| Stat | Score |
|---|---|
| Speed | 7.7 |
| Handling | 7.1 |
| Acceleration | 6.1 |
| Launch | 6.6 |
| Braking | 6.8 |
| Off-Road | 4.8 |
2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo
This is the headliner. The FXX-K Evo Welcome Pack variant pushes all the way to R-998, the top of the PI ladder, with elite braking and launch numbers. It's a closed-circuit weapon and the most credit-intensive car in the pack on paper. The standard version retails for 250,000 CR in-game.
| Stat | Score |
|---|---|
| Speed | 8.1 |
| Handling | 9.4 |
| Acceleration | 8.7 |
| Launch | 9.4 |
| Braking | 10 |
| Off-Road | 4.9 |
2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R
The Raptor R covers off-road, dirt, and cross-country events that the other four cars in the pack can't really touch. Its 9.7 off-road score tells you exactly where it's meant to shine, and the AWD layout makes it the easiest of the five to point and shoot through rough terrain.
| Stat | Score |
|---|---|
| Speed | 6.2 |
| Handling | 3.4 |
| Acceleration | 7.3 |
| Launch | 6.8 |
| Braking | 4.3 |
| Off-Road | 9.7 |
2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series
The AMG GT Black Series lands in S2-900 with perfect braking and standout handling. It's the most circuit-leaning of the road cars in the pack and tends to feel sharper than the FXX-K Evo on tight, technical sprints, even if it gives up some top-end speed.
| Stat | Score |
|---|---|
| Speed | 7.4 |
| Handling | 8.9 |
| Acceleration | 7.8 |
| Launch | 8.6 |
| Braking | 10 |
| Off-Road | 4.7 |
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR
The Evo VIII MR rounds out the pack as the rally-flavoured AWD option. Its A-700 PI sits below the others, but the all-wheel-drive layout makes it the most forgiving choice for mixed-surface races and a natural fit for the dirt and cross-country events scattered across the Japan map.
| Stat | Score |
|---|---|
| Speed | 6.9 |
| Handling | 6.5 |
| Acceleration | 7.7 |
| Launch | 4.1 |
| Braking | 5.1 |
| Off-Road | 6.9 |
How to claim the Welcome Pack cars
The five cars and three vouchers don't appear in your garage on their own. They have to be redeemed from the in-game gift inbox once the pack is active on your account.
Step 1: Boot Forza Horizon 6 and load into the Horizon Festival map. The pack contents won't show up until you're past the intro sequence and onto the open world.
Step 2: Open the pause menu and head into the Messages or Gifts inbox. Each Welcome Pack car and voucher arrives as a separate gift entry to be claimed individually.
Step 3: Confirm the cars in your garage and use the Autoshow voucher from the Autoshow menu. The voucher prompt appears on the purchase screen for any eligible car, letting you redeem rather than spend credits.
Is the Welcome Pack worth buying separately
If you already own the Deluxe Edition or Premium Edition, the Welcome Pack is bundled in, and there's nothing extra to weigh. For Standard Edition or Game Pass players staring at the $4.99 standalone price, the maths leans in your favour.
The five cars together would cost 750,000 CR at Autoshow prices if you bought their non-Welcome-Pack equivalents. The voucher itself can offset a high-tier Autoshow car on top of that. Against the early-game credit grind, it's one of the more lopsided value adds attached to a Horizon release. You can grab the standalone DLC from the Microsoft Store listing if you're not running a Deluxe or Premium copy.
