With the global launch of Forza Horizon 6 now fully underway, players are finally getting the chance to explore Japan and begin building their dream garages.
Between the massive open world, new progression systems, and endless customization options, credits quickly become one of the most important resources in the game.
Thankfully, several strong money-making methods have already surfaced during early access and launch weekend. One of the more detailed breakdowns came from AR12Gaming on YouTube, who tested multiple strategies ranging from casual exploration to large-scale AFK farming methods.
Explore the Open World First
Playground Games
One of the easiest methods is simply driving around Japan and uncovering the map.
According to the guide, players can earn millions of credits naturally by:
- Discovering roads
- Visiting landmarks
- Collecting collectibles
- Exploring regions
- Unlocking map progression rewards
The game rewards exploration heavily, making early free roam progression one of the safest ways to build credits while also learning the map.
Turn Off Assists for Bigger Bonuses
AR12Gaming also recommends reducing driving assists and increasing Drivatar difficulty.
Players can earn larger race payouts by:
- Turning off Stability Control
- Lowering steering assists
- Increasing AI difficulty
- Driving with fewer gameplay assists overall
The higher the difficulty modifier, the larger the credit boost becomes after races.

Wheel Spins Still Matter
Wheel Spins remain another major source of credits in FH6, although they have been toned down compared to previous entries.
Instead of receiving a Wheel Spin every level, players now earn one every three levels. Even with the slower pace, they still provide fast access to:
- Credits
- Cars
- Cosmetic rewards
- XP boosts

Festival Playlist and Auction House Tips
The weekly Festival Playlist could become one of the strongest long-term methods once the live service rotation fully ramps up.
Players can:
- Unlock rare cars
- Sell valuable rewards in the Auction House
- Farm limited-time content for profit
Higher-demand vehicles could quickly become easy flip opportunities for players not interested in keeping every unlock.
AFK Farming Is Already Taking Over
The biggest method discussed in the guide centers around AFK farming using the Hokubu Time Attack circuit.
The setup includes:
- Turning all assists fully ON
- Using auto-driving assists
- Rubber banding the trigger
- Letting the car complete laps automatically
According to AR12Gaming, the Hokubu Time Attack circuit can pay out roughly 2,300 credits and around 1,000 XP per lap while the car continues driving automatically around the course.
AR12Gaming showcased several recommended setups, including the Nissan Silvia S13, along with Forza Edition vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma Forza Edition and Lexus LFA Forza Edition for larger XP and credit gains.
Some convoy methods reportedly reached several million credits over longer sessions, although payouts appeared inconsistent during testing.
As more players continue progressing through Japan, even more credit farming methods will likely emerge across the FH6 community.
