In Forza Horizon 6, the streets of Japan are a perfect place to showcase your latest drift car, only to crash into a guardrail a few seconds later. Multiplayer is a big part of the game, offering large shared-world activities, social car meetups, competitive online events, and plenty of fun ways to mess around with friends.
Getting online and understanding the multiplayer features is simple. Here’s what you need to know about playing with friends and how cross-platform support works in Forza Horizon 6.
### How to Play with Friends
Multiplayer unlocks after you finish the first race through Tokyo City with Mei and her friends. Once that’s done, all multiplayer options become available. To start playing with friends, create a convoy by opening the pause menu, going to the Online tab, then selecting Convoy and choosing Create A Convoy. You can then select the type of convoy you want to run.
Options include friends-only, invite-only, cruising, drag racing, car meets, road racing, jobs, and more. When your convoy is active, your friends can join in and explore the map together without needing to load into separate sessions repeatedly.
Images show how inviting friends works, with details like joining convoys and exploring together. During gameplay, shared activities pop up naturally while driving around Japan—so there are no long wait screens. You can participate in Time Attack circuits, join drag meetups, or stop at car meets with other players already there.
Car Meets are especially social in this game. They let players closely inspect cars, download tunes and liveries, and purchase stock versions of vehicles directly from the autoshow. Skills favor cooperative play, activating when you perform actions like tandem drifting or performing stunts simultaneously, rewarding everyone involved for syncing efforts.
### Is Forza Horizon 6 Cross-Platform?
Yes, the game fully supports cross-platform play and cross-save functionality. Players on Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Xbox app on PC can race together online without issues. Your progress and cars carry across all platforms linked to your account. This means if you start playing on Xbox and later switch to PC, all your garage items, levels, and achievements will be waiting for you.
Cross-platform compatibility also makes organizing convoys easier because friends aren’t limited by hardware. No matter which device everyone is playing on, you can cruise together, compete in events, and climb the online leaderboards as a group.
