Forza Horizon 6 is finally here and is currently available to play in early access, but only for those users who have pre-ordered the game. However, if you haven’t purchased the game yet and are now planning to do so after watching a few players stream their gameplay on platforms like Twitch and YouTube, well, you can still purchase the game now and wait for it to be playable on the 19th of May, its global release.
So, if you haven’t purchased the game yet or have pre-ordered just the base edition of the game, here’s everything you need to know about preloading and the time that the game goes live across various regions.
Forza Horizon 6: Preloading the Game
Since Forza Horizon 6 will be available on PC as well as Xbox, you can easily preload the game before its release date. Preloading games helps you save time and lets you enjoy the game on the release date itself. This has become standard since many games nowadays are 100 GB or more, and not everyone has the fastest internet connection, hence the need to download.
If you have pre-ordered the game on Steam, open the Steam client, then go to your library. Click on Forza Horizon 6, and you should see the Preload button. Click on the preload button to begin downloading the game to your PC. Once it is the 19th of May, the game will unlock and will be ready to play.
On the Xbox Series S and Series X, you can easily preload Forza Horizon 6. Simply select the game and click on the Pre-Install button. This initiates the preload for the game, which will begin the download right away.
