Teased way back in November, the Chryslus Rocket 69 will finally start arriving in Forza 6 garages starting today. Turn 10 announced the ride’s arrival a few hours ago, with the humourous video shown above, and expanded on how exactly players can get their hands on it. The short answer: very easily.
The car will be available via a unique unlock code sent through the XBox Live message system. The only qualifier is that players have a game save on their system for either Forza Motorsport 6 or Fallout 4. Having both will not produce an extra code: it’s one Rocket per account. Players that purchase either game between now and the end of the month will have to wait until May for their codes.
Originally appearing in Fallout 4, the fictional car is said to be powered by a “micro fusion” engine, though all Turn 10 has said about the car’s performance within the game is that it will top 200mph. Uniquely within FM6, the vehicle eschews a traditional wheel for a joystick, much like Mercedes-Benz has toyed with in various concepts for the past two decades.
Of course, this isn’t the only fantasy car to arrive in a racing game recently (or even in the Forza series). One of Gran Turismo 6’s main selling points was the unique Vision GT program, which produced some outlandish concepts. The laser-powered Chaparral 2X, for example, or the wild SRT Tomahawk X. Need For Speed got in on the action earlier this year with the Beck Kustoms F132, a crazy mashup of hot rod and F1 aesthetics.
Way back in 2011, Halo’s Warthog arrived in Forza 4’s Autovista mode (which has since been renamed Forzavista). That behemoth wasn’t drivable, however.
Are you excited by this unusual addition? Discuss it in the Comments section, or our dedicated Forza 6 forum section.
I have a feeling that this would be tail-heavy and difficult to control, but expect it to be light due to it being a single-seater with an aerodynamic bullet-shaped body that will allow it to reach a high top speed.
Neither. It has a bit of oversteer but it just drives like a boat.
Gonna drive it for sure. Also, set handling difficulty to Simulation if Normal handling isn’t enough for you. I’m just saying for some comments below.
That’s awesome.
Damnit, why does Turn 10 have to be so good with DLC support and car selection but so bad with physics? Such a missed opportunity Forza is. It’s got everything right except what counts the most. Such a shame.
Considering the two games aren’t too far off from each other, and has even been shown that Forza simulates things that GT does not, I find this an odd statement. The two games are extremely similar in almost every regard. They are both very easy to pick up and play. It’s so odd to see you continue on about this, really.
What part of the physics are wrong in comparison?
I think the real shame is when people dismiss things with no real experience.
+1 to Kyle P., They should remove all the assists in Forza and set everything to Simulation first.
Gran turismo and fallout.. My favorite games.. This is first time i want forza car so bad.. In any game.. Buying an Xbox for this would be weird.. hope it will be something fallout development team will do for other games.. Fun stuff…

Something went wrong, please delete double post.. Thanks
So Forza series is getting fake cars more often than GT
Forza is getting REAL cars more often than GT. :)
I really do wish games would change the driver outfits when in cars like this.
GT offers that lol
GT4 did with a few cars.
GT6 only has modern driver suits.
@North Not true. There’s plenty of older racing suits in GT6.
The only older ones I’ve seen are the Senna ones, which isn’t what I’m talking about.
A cool novelty addition to the game and an excellent promotional video. Well done T10!
Nice car, but kills the immersion somewhat. Doubt there will be any engine swap or body mods to it though, which is a bummer.
I am selling my 4 month old PS4. GT SPort is Vaporware! Any offers!? :)
It’s not vapourware, GT Sport has actual models ready for the game, just because a game is in development doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
It is, in his opinion. That’s likely all he was meaning, no need to get so defensive about it.
If you’re willing to sell your PS4 already, it’s obvious you never should’ve bought one in the first place.
You don’t do a lot of thinking before make investments do you? LOL
Polyphony Digital has never, ever produced any vaporware. Everytime they’ve announced something, its come out. You’ve lost your mind if you think GT Sport is any different
No, they don’t lol. Everything they’ve announced on this console has been delayed so far. So yeah, maybe he did do his research, and he actually believed what PD had said in regards to a PS4 title, as well as GT Sport supposedly being early 2016. When that window is already going to be closed in two weeks.
Either way, already? It’s coming up on 3 years since the console came out, lol.
This is a serious waste of licensing money
To each their own. I’m gonna drive the hell out of this.
I doubt any licensing money was paid. It’s called cross-promotion.
