Forza Horizon 6 Multiplayer Guide Convoy, Eliminator and Crossplay

Forza Horizon 6's open world is built to be shared. Whether you want to roam Japan with a couple of friends, run organised races, or drop into a 72-player battle royale, the online layer is mostly built around one system: Convoy. This guide covers crossplay, how Convoy works, and how The Eliminator plays out on FH6's map.

01Crossplay: Which Platforms Can Play Together

Forza Horizon 6 supports crossplay between Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store/Xbox app play together freely) — Crossplay is enabled by default when you start the game. A PlayStation 5 version has been confirmed but hadn't launched as of this guide's last update, so PS5 crossplay isn't live yet — expect it to join the same pool once that version ships.

To check or change it: open the pause menu → Settings → HUD & Gameplay, and toggle Online Crossplay. Turning it off restricts matchmaking and Convoy invites to players on your own platform.

02Convoy: Playing With Friends

Convoy is FH6's core party system for playing with other people. A Convoy holds up to 12 players, who can roam the open world together, queue into events as a group, and share progress along the way.

• Fast travel to teammates — any Convoy member can fast-travel directly to another member's location for free, so the group doesn't need to physically drive to meet up.
• Group queuing — the Convoy leader can start races, PR Stunts, Touge battles, drag races, or Horizon Arcade, and the rest of the Convoy is automatically invited into that event.
• Leader controls — the Convoy leader manages who's invited to events and can remove inactive (AFK) members to free up a slot for someone else.

To create one: pause the game, go to Convoy, and select Create Convoy. Friends can then be invited from your platform's friends list, or you can join an existing Convoy by accepting an invite or joining their session directly.

03The Eliminator: Battle Royale in Japan

The Eliminator returns from Forza Horizon 4 and 5 as FH6's battle-royale mode: up to 72 players spawn across the map inside a shrinking play zone and must survive as it closes in, upgrading their car by taking out other drivers or finding better vehicles as the match goes on. Unlike Convoy racing, this mode is played solo — you drop in as an individual rather than as a synced-up group.

Japan's mountainous, vertical terrain changes how the mode plays compared to FH5's flatter Mexico map — expect more elevation changes and tighter mountain roads forcing early encounters as the safe zone shrinks.

04Other Ways to Play Together

Beyond racing and Eliminator, Convoy also supports a wider set of shared activities: Spec Racing (everyone in identical cars), Touge duels, drag racing, and smaller party games like Hide & Seek. Convoy members can also build together in FH6's sandbox creation tools, which support the full 12-player group at once.

None of this requires leaving the open world first — most modes can be launched directly from wherever your Convoy currently is on the map.
