Playground Games has rolled out the Italian Exotics update for Forza Horizon 6, a content drop that introduces four new Italian vehicles, gameplay fixes, and a clean slate for the game's competitive Rivals mode. According to GamingBolt, the update caters to players whose tastes "lean towards Italian style and some blistering performance."
"Forza Horizon 6 is continuing its post-launch support..."
The highlight of the Series 3 era is the Italian Passion Car Pack DLC, which Pure Xbox reported is priced at £4.99/$4.99 standalone but free for Premium Edition owners. The pack includes the 2025 Ferrari F80, a car that, as Pure Xbox noted, "was designed to commemorate Ferrari's 80th anniversary."
Beyond the new cars, the update makes significant changes to the competitive side of the game. vgtimes.com reported that Playground Games "has completely reset the Rivals leaderboards in an effort to remove unrealistic times achieved through various exploits." The outlet described this as bringing "several changes to the game's competitive side."
GamesHedge characterized the Italian Exotics update as "a chunky one," indicating that it includes more than just vehicles. The update also brings festival rewards and various gameplay fixes, according to the outlet's coverage. For players who already own Forza Horizon 6, the new content offers both cosmetic and performance-oriented additions.
With the leaderboard wipe addressing exploit-based times, the update aims to refresh the competitive landscape. As vgtimes.com put it, Playground Games seeks to remove "unrealistic times" that had accumulated, giving legitimate racers a fairer shot at the top of the standings. The Italian Exotics update is available now across all platforms.
