I’m now seeing for US players the early access is releasing at 12am fri the 15th eastern time. which is 9pm pacific on the 14th which is tomorrow. I couldn’t find this on the fh6 website but reported elsewhere.

So that is tomorrow. Guessing reviews will be out before that? Not concerned with how the game scores, but am curious about the final features and how it all comes together.

The reviews will arrive tomorrow at 10 am EST if I recall correctly.

Is this the first time they’re doing an Instagram follow and comment sweepstakes? Are we finally moving on from Twitter? Please say yes disembodied voice!

It’s a start. It’s a good thing I only use it for news (sadly), but even then the algorithm presents me hell.

Thanks! Had the draft ready for a while before posting​:joy:

So who’s doing the NZ trick on console? I’ll be playing on PC so don’t think it works as simple as that to play early.

I’ll see if other people do it. Don’t want to risk a stupid ban or something.

What’s this now? I thought the New Zealand trick was risk free. I was planning on taking a trip to :new_zealand: tomorrow.

Because of those bans of players who play the game early from the leaked files. Probably safe but I’ll see. In any case, it’s not recommended as servers come online by region too.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of that.

I’ll ask this now bc I’ll be asking again in a couple of days. I suck at skill point challenges. How do I fix this?

Isn’t it just choosing a car that has good skill bonuses. There’s usually a couple cars that I favorite just because of how fast they build skill points.

Today’s the day when I decide if I’ll drop an extra $60 to play 4 days early. Writing that out, yeah probably not. Not a big racing game fan. Enjoying Forza at launch despite not being the hugest Forza fan is why I subscribe to game pass.

I’ll keep the car type in mind. I’m really bad at those challenges. The goal will be like get 10,000 points and best I do is 1,000. Really bums me out to leave those tasks open bc I can do all the others.
