"Best Addition to the Franchise So Far" Forza Horizon 6 Players Love New Feature and Want It to Replace the Auction House

Alongside the Auction House and Showroom, Forza Horizon 6‘s newest car purchasing feature has quickly become a big hit with players already. Despite an unfortunate leak just days before the launch of Forza Horizon 6, there’s been plenty of excitement and anticipation from fans as the franchise takes players to Japan. Alongside many familiar features, Forza Horizon 6 also added a number of new things to check out.

During the Early Access period for Premium Edition owners of Forza Horizon 6, players have already started putting the game through its paces as they discover just what Playground’s version of Japan has to offer. As expected, there’s a massive list of cars available in game with numerous ways to unlock them, from loyalty rewards in Forza Horizon 6, premium DLC options, to in-game methods like the Showroom, Barn Finds, and other unlockables. Needless to say, there are plenty of ways for players to grow their garage, though Early Access players have seemingly highlighted one new feature in particular for those who may not be big fans of the Auction House.

Forza Horizon 6 Won’t Let Players Smash Important Cultural Elements of Japan

Forza Horizon 6 hides subtle details to preserve Japan’s cultural values after other AAA games face backlash for not including them.

Forza Horizon 6’s Aftermarket Cars May Be a Game Changer

While there are no shortage of exciting new features for Forza Horizon 6, from the reworked progression, to the massive overworld map of Japan to explore, one in particular is the aftermarket car system. While not marked on the map, players will naturally discover this feature as they explore Japan where NPC characters dynamically park cars for sale, typically in high traffic areas like Daikoku Parking Area or Shibuya Crossing. These cars are modified and typically heavily discounted, but what makes this new system really appealing is that the process is all done in real time, there are no menus or loading screens to navigate. Simply pull up to the lot in free-roam and players can view and purchase the vehicles right then and there.

After discovering the feature, many have taken online to praise the Aftermarket Cars feature. While Forza Horizon 6‘s Auction House remains controversial for many, this Aftermarket system is viewed as the polar opposite. Players seem to like how immediate everything is, and the act of pulling up to the location keeps the immersion instead of having to go through various menus. In fact, many have wished the Showroom even received some updates, allowing players to make transactions from around the world in a similar way. The other appealing piece about the Aftermarket, outside the discounted prices, is that Forza Edition cars can also randomly appear, making them decidedly cheaper than they would be on the Auction House.

One thing that players have been noticing is that the Aftermarket feature seemingly grows alongside the career progression in-game. While players can certainly find discounted and rare cars, there seems to be a system within the game that makes sure the cars being dynamically offered fit the player’s current progression level, so don’t expect to see the best cars being offered right off the bat.

It’s clear that this feature will continue to be popular and won’t be going anywhere thanks to the continued support Playground Games typically gives to its Forza Horizon games long after launch. Already, fans have a good idea of what sort of cars are coming post-launch with things like Forza Horizon 6‘s Series 1 Festival Playlist rewards, which means fans will continue to see an impressive revolving door of available and customized vehicles months and potentially years after launch.
