TL;DR
- Crunchyroll members can claim a free Car Voucher for FH6 as part of the Ani-May 2026 promotion.
- The code must be claimed by May 31, 2026 and the voucher used in-game by December 15, 2026.
- You must be at least 18 years old with an active paid Crunchyroll subscription.
- Claim the code on Crunchyroll’s site, then redeem it at xbox.com/redeem on the correct Microsoft account.
- The voucher works on any car in the Autoshow — it cannot be used on Car Pass, Festival Playlist, or DLC cars.
- Do not waste it on a cheap car. Save it for a high-cost Autoshow pick like the Ferrari #24 Spa 330 P4, Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, or Mercedes-AMG ONE.

What Is the Forza Horizon 6 Crunchyroll Promotion?
Playground Games has teamed up with Crunchyroll for a limited-time crossover tied to Crunchyroll’s annual Ani-May campaign. As part of Crunchyroll’s annual Ani-May celebration, all eligible Crunchyroll members can claim a free Car Voucher redeemable for any vehicle in the game’s Autoshow, with no credits required.
The Japan connection makes this collaboration feel natural. FH6 is set in Japan — the very home of anime — so a tie-up with the world’s biggest anime streaming platform practically writes itself. It is also one of the few completely free ways to grab an expensive Autoshow car without grinding credits at all.
The Car Vouchers can be used to unlock any vehicle from Forza Horizon 6’s Autoshow section. However, they cannot be used on cars featured in the Festival Playlist or Car Pack content.
Key Dates to Know
- Promotion start date: May 7, 2026
- Last day to claim your code: May 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT
- Last day to use the voucher in-game: December 15, 2026
The Car Voucher code can only be claimed from May 7 to May 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT. If you miss that window, the code is gone. The in-game voucher itself has a longer redemption window — so even if you claim the code in May but have not decided what car to spend it on, you have until December 15, 2026 to actually use it inside FH6.
Who Is Eligible?
The promotion is open to all paid Crunchyroll subscribers, regardless of which membership tier they are on, including new sign-ups made during the Ani-May event window, so you do not particularly need to be an existing member. That means if you do not currently have a Crunchyroll subscription but are planning to sign up anyway, starting your membership before May 31 gets you the voucher automatically.
There is one age restriction: the voucher is limited to one per subscriber, and participants must be at least 18 years old.
The promotion is also subject to regional availability. The offer is not available in certain regions. For more details, visit xbox.com/regions. Check that page to confirm eligibility for your country before signing up for a subscription just for this reward.
How to Claim the Crunchyroll Car Voucher: Step by Step
The process involves two separate steps across two platforms — Crunchyroll first, then Xbox/Microsoft. Do them in order and make sure you use the right account at each stage.
Step 1 — Get the Code From Crunchyroll
- Go to the official Crunchyroll Forza Code Campaign page (linked from Crunchyroll’s Ani-May promotion hub).
- Sign in with your active paid Crunchyroll account.
- Find the Forza Horizon 6 Car Voucher offer and select the claim or “Request Code” option.
- Copy the code you receive and keep it somewhere safe.
Step 2 — Redeem the Code on Xbox
- Go to xbox.com/redeem or use the redeem option on your Xbox console.
- Sign in with the Microsoft account you plan to use for FH6. This step matters — the reward attaches to whatever account you redeem it on. If you play on Steam, make sure you are signed into the Xbox app with the correct Microsoft account first.
- Enter the code from Crunchyroll and confirm the redemption.
Step 3 — Use the Voucher Inside FH6
- Launch Forza Horizon 6 using the same Microsoft account that redeemed the code.
- Progress until the Autoshow becomes available in-game.
- Open the Autoshow, browse to the car you want, and select the Car Voucher option instead of paying credits.
- Confirm the redemption and check your garage for the new car.
One important note for Steam players: the Crunchyroll reward is a Forza Horizon 6 Car Voucher, not a separate Steam key or Steam DLC code. You should claim the reward through Crunchyroll and redeem the code through your Xbox/Microsoft account. Your Microsoft account links to FH6 on Steam at first launch, so the voucher will carry through correctly as long as the accounts match.
What Happens If You Have Two Vouchers?
Players who own the Deluxe or Premium Edition of FH6 already get one Car Voucher included with the Welcome Pack. The Crunchyroll voucher is a second one on top of that. These vouchers can be obtained in various ways. Deluxe and Premium editions of the game grant one, while the other can be obtained through Forza’s partnership with Crunchyroll. Additionally, these can be bought with real money.
If you have two vouchers, you can spend them on two different Autoshow cars. Just remember — both are one-way transactions. There is no refund, and cars bought with vouchers cannot be re-sold on the Auction House. Think carefully before you commit either one.
What Car Should You Spend the Voucher On?
This is the most important decision. The voucher works on any Autoshow car, so using it on something cheap is genuinely a waste. Here is how to think about it:
Option 1 — Go Pure Value: Most Expensive Autoshow Cars
If your goal is maximum credit savings, aim for the priciest cars in the game. The Ferrari #24 Ferrari Spa 330 P4 is the most expensive car in the game at 66,500,000 credits. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR comes in at 57 million credits. Just like with the Ferrari, you get an ultra-expensive car for your collection that you will not need to grind for. These are prestige machines that would take an enormous amount of grinding to afford through normal play.
Option 2 — Best All-Round Performance: Mercedes-AMG ONE
The Mercedes-AMG ONE is possibly the most well-rounded car in the Forza Horizon 6 roster. Its modified Formula 1 engine produces over 1,000 brake horsepower, boasts the best acceleration among the hypercars, and has great handling, top speed, and braking. If you want an “everything” car, go for the Mercedes-AMG ONE. This is the pick for players who want their voucher to actually improve their racing performance rather than just sitting in the Collection Journal.
Note: if you have played FH5 on your Xbox account, you already get the Mercedes-AMG ONE for free as a loyalty reward — which means spending your voucher on it would be redundant. Check our FH6 Loyalty Rewards guide to see if you already qualify for it before making a decision.
Option 3 — Competitive Performance: Ferrari FXX-K Evo
The Ferrari FXX-K Evo is a phenomenal car that will do anything you ask of it. Great handling, superb launch and acceleration, and brakes that stop it on a dime. Players who own the Deluxe or Premium Edition receive a pre-tuned version of it through the Welcome Pack, so check your garage before spending the voucher here too. But if you do not have it, this is one of the most capable early-game machines you can pick up.
Option 4 — High-Performance Track Car: Aston Martin Valkyrie
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is one of the most technically impressive R Class cars in the game, developed in partnership with Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey. It is an extreme machine for drivers who know what they are doing — a serious late-game car that rewards a properly tuned setup. At a price point that would take significant grinding to reach through normal play, using a voucher here saves a real amount of time.
What to Avoid
Do not spend the voucher on a car you will unlock naturally through campaign progression anyway. The best way to use the Forza Horizon 6 Crunchyroll Car Voucher is to save it for an expensive Autoshow car. Using it on a cheap early-game car gives you less value. Avoid using it on a vehicle you may unlock through rewards soon.
Also check whether your target car is actually in the Autoshow before you go looking for it. Some of the most desirable cars in FH6 — including Barn Finds, Treasure Cars, Festival Playlist exclusives, and Car Pass vehicles — are not available through the Autoshow at all. A voucher cannot unlock those, no matter what.
Does the Voucher Work on Steam?
Yes — but it is redeemed through your Microsoft account, not Steam directly. The rewards are tied to your Xbox account. As long as you are using the same Xbox account you play FH6 with, whether on Xbox, Windows Store, or Steam, you will be fine. The Microsoft account linking happens at first launch on Steam, so as long as that connection is in place, your in-game voucher will appear correctly.
Why This Promotion Exists
Forza Horizon 6 is the first mainline Horizon game set in Japan. Crunchyroll — one of the world’s biggest anime streaming platforms — has a natural thematic fit with a racing game set in Japan. Forza Horizon 6 is the first entry in the series set in Japan, which likely inspired this collaboration with Crunchyroll, one of the biggest streaming platforms for Japanese animation.
It is a smart deal for both sides. Crunchyroll gets visibility among FH6’s massive player base. FH6 players get a free car worth tens of millions of credits. If you have an active subscription, there is genuinely no reason not to claim it before May 31.
Where to Get Forza Horizon 6
FH6 is available now on Steam and the Xbox Store, with a PS5 version arriving later in 2026. Visit forza.net for official news and updates on future promotions. And once you have your free car in hand, see our Goliath Race and Colossus guide to put it to the ultimate test on Japan’s longest endurance circuit.
