A passive money-farming exploit has surfaced in Forza Horizon 6.
A couple of days after Forza Horizon 6’s general release, players–being players–have already shared exploits for racking up Credits, the game’s main currency.
In Forza Horizon 6, Credits are the primary currency used for car purchases, upgrades, cosmetic customisation, and more. As with any progression-based game, grinding for money can be time-consuming, so some players have turned to exploits to progress while essentially “AFK-ing”.
This “infinite money glitch” may already be a familiar concept to some, especially Forza Horizon veterans who have played previous entries in the franchise. Below is a breakdown, for those curious about how it works.

What is the money farming exploit in Forza Horizon 6?
One of the most-shared exploits involves using the “AutoDrive” feature in Forza Horizon 6. It essentially acts as an AI autopilot for your car, designed for when you need to step away briefly, or simply want to relax and enjoy a cinematic drive through Japan’s landscapes.
Once AutoDrive is activated, you no longer need to worry about accelerating, braking, steering, or keeping track of the map, as the AI handles everything. However, for this particular exploit, players have reported that you still need to keep the car moving forward manually–often using the “rubber-band method” or any similar workaround to maintain input.
Players shared custom track codes designed for this exploit, allowing users to cruise using AutoDrive while still earning rewards. These rewards often depend on difficulty settings and overall performance on the track.
Generally, players earn more Credits by finishing in higher positions, racing on higher difficulty, turning off assists, and completing longer races. Of course, with AutoDrive enabled, you are unlikely to reach the highest reward brackets, but with Credits still accumulating passively, the exploit remains effective.
An example was shared by YouTuber XMBWesley, who demonstrated the exploit using the 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B-STI–a car he considered strong for this method due to its bonuses that help maximise rewards.
In his run, he completed the track in 37 minutes, earning 100,000 Credits and 53,000 XP. However, he noted that earnings may be lower without a Forza Edition car, VIP bonuses, or other paid perks that he had access to.
A user also commented on the guide video, suggesting that a single-lap setup is the most efficient for this exploit if you plan to leave the game unattended. This is because multiple laps may require occasional button inputs to re-engage the system.
This exploit may be patched once developers take notice, so those interested in trying it may want to step on the gas now.
