Extras: Tokens
Forum: discussion thread
Available: December 17, 2016
Tokens are a DLC accelerator used for buying cars and upgrades in lieu of credits. A “T” icon in the Autoshow below the Credit value shows the equivalent value in Tokens. The conversion rate is 1 Token = 500 Credits (slightly less for upgrades), so a car valued at 50,000 credits is worth 100 tokens. Selecting the car or upgrade basket prompts a choice between using your available credits or tokens.
Tokens are purchased in packs of 100 ($1) up to 20,000 ($99). Token packs are consumable by gamertag; they are not sharable with guest accounts on a Gold member’s console, and once used, they cannot be restored by resetting the gamesave.
Using tokens is not required, and the icons and prompts can be turned off by going to the Pause / Marketplace / Extras menu and selecting “Disable Tokens” (helpful in preventing grabby guests or children from inadvertently spending your tokens).
