discussion threadTokens are a means of buying cars, upgrades, or Mod Packs in lieu of using your in-game credits. This can be a time-saving alternative to racing for credits (remember to also redeem your
Forza Rewards for gift credits on a regular basis.)
Tokens are entirely optional and not required to access any car or feature in the game. If you wish to hide token prices or prompts you can do so from the Options tab and HUD tile, setting "Disable Tokens" to ON.
In the main game menu a small window in the upper right corner of the screen will alternate between your credit balance and your token balance. In menus where credits can be used, the cost of the item will be shown in both CR and TK value; selecting that item will then give you the option to Buy with Credits
or Buy with Tokens. In general, one token = 500 credits, so a car or upgrade or Mod pack that costs 50,000 credits could alternately be bought with 100 tokens.
Each player has been gifted 100 tokens today or will have 100 credits waiting when they start Forza Motorsport 6 for the first time. Tokens from other Forza games cannot be imported into FM6.
If you do not have enough credits to buy an item you will be able to select Buy With Tokens. If you try to use tokens and do not have enough, the Buy Tokens menu will open with the seven token pack options (also available at Xbox.com or in the Marketplace tile under the Options tab):
100 Tokens pack $0.99 (1 token per cent)
325 Tokens pack $2.99
575 Tokens pack $4.99
1250 Tokens pack $9.99
2700 Tokens pack $19.99
8000 Tokens pack $49.99
20,000 Tokens pack $99.99 (2 tokens per cent)
Token packs do not count toward the "Paid DLC Owned" portion of your Forza Rewards Score.
Important limitations on Token DLCNote that Token DLC is
consumable - unlike other owned DLC that can be reinstalled, once you spend your purchased tokens they cannot be reinstalled or restored by starting the game over (however, unused tokens remain on the server and will be available if you reset your gamesave).
- Token packs are only available to the account that purchased them and not sharable with other accounts on a console (unlike the ability for other accounts to use DLC cars as a benefit of XBL Gold member sharing).
- Cars bought with tokens cannot be sold for half value like cars bought with credits - they can only be Removed from your garage, and doing so does not restore the spent credits or add the credit value to your account. (On the other hand, Mods from a pack purchased with tokens can be sold like other Mods for their credit value.)
- Mod pack contents are determined by chance and buying multiple packs may still not provide a specific sought-after Mod, so spend your tokens wisely.
