Xbox and Automobili Lamborghini have partnered to create the Lamborghini Urus SE Master Chief 117 Edition, a bespoke Super SUV featuring a Master Chief-inspired livery with gold-tinted windows, visor-inspired headlights, and an armor-green exterior. The vehicle includes the iconic "117" number on both sides and will be available as a downloadable livery in Forza Horizon 6 starting July 30, 2026. The livery can be obtained through the in-game Message Center and will be automatically added to players' garages upon redemption.

A limited number of 1:18-scale collectible replicas of the Master Chief 117 Edition will be available through an online sweepstakes. Fans can enter by following Xbox on X and reposting the official sweepstakes post with the hashtag #MasterChief117Sweepstakes. The sweepstakes is open to legal residents of Xbox-supported regions aged 18 or older, excluding Russia, and ends at 5:00 p.m. PT on September 13, 2026. No purchase is necessary, and full details are available in the Official Rules.
