Forza Horizon 6 is racing onto the scene very soon, and if you’re excited to get in on the action, you’ll want to make sure you’ve preloaded the game ready for release day.
That being said, game sizes continue to get bigger, and you’re going to need a fair amount of space in your console or PC’s storage if you’re adding Forza Horizon 6 to your game’s library.
Without further ado, here’s how to preload Forza Horizon 6, as well as how large the file size will be.
How To Preload Forza Horizon 6
You can preload Forza Horizon 6 right now, so long as you have digitally pre-ordered it on your Xbox Series X|S or the Xbox PC store.
Forza Horizon 6 preload has already started to roll out from May 1, and the game should automatically download when it becomes available. Whilst the game will then be available on your PC or Xbox Series X|S consoles, it won’t be playable until its release day of May 19—or May 15 if you’ve got early access.
