If you’ve been tearing up the roads in Forza Horizon 6, your garage is probably filling up fast. Instead of letting duplicate cars or vehicles you rarely drive gather dust, the game lets you give back to the community through the Gift Drop feature. It’s a fantastic way to surprise another player and help someone out.

Just a quick heads-up before you start: once you send a car as a Gift Drop, it is gone from your garage forever. Make sure you’re absolutely ready to part with it before you hit that final button.

Here is exactly how to send a Gift Drop in Forza Horizon 6, whether you want to do it instantly or make a trip out of it.

Two Ways to Send a Gift Drop

You don't have to go out of your way to send a gift, but the game gives you a couple of cool options depending on how you like to play.

Method 1: The Pause Menu (The Fast Way)

If you are in the middle of freeroam and just want to clear out some space or send a quick gift without interrupting your session, this is your best bet.

1. Pause the game while driving around in freeroam.

2. Tab over to the Cars section of the menu.

3. Select the Gift Drop option to get started.

Method 2: Visited Barn Finds (The Scenic Way)

If you prefer a little more immersion, you can actually use the old Barn Find spots scattered across the map to drop off your presents.

1. Open up your world map and look for any Barn Find location you have already unlocked.

2. Drive over to the barn (or fast travel if you're in a hurry).

3. Pull up right to the barn and press the X button (or your mapped prompt) when it pops up on your screen to open the gift menu.

Personalizing Your Gift Package

Once you are in the menu, the game will walk you through a few quick steps to customize your package before it gets sent out into the world.

• Pick Your Car: Browse your garage and select the car you want to give away. Double-checking for duplicates is a great habit to get into here.

• Choose Who Gets It: Keep in mind that you cannot send gifts directly to specific friends on your friends list. Instead, you choose a category of player you'd like to support. You can target Anyone, New Players, Returning Players, New Horizon Legends, or Community Contributors.

• Add a Quick Note: You can't write a custom text message, but you can pick from a solid list of pre-set greeting phrases to match the vibe of your gift.

• Sign the Card: You can choose to sign off with your official Xbox Gamertag, your real name, or simply leave it completely anonymous if you want to be a secret Santa.

Once you are happy with everything, take a quick look at the final preview screen and confirm it. The game will handle the rest, shipping the car off to a random player matching your criteria. It’s a great feeling to know that the next time someone drives up to a barn, they might just find your favorite supercar waiting for them.
