Dubbed ‘Welcome to Japan’, Forza Horizon 6 Series 1 commenced on May 21 and will run through June 18, bringing new seasonal events, reward cars and Festival Playlist activities to the highly popular open-world racer. Below, we’ve compiled all you need to know about Forza Horizon 6 Series 1.
Forza Horizon 6 Series 1 Weekly Festival Playlist schedule
As the inaugural update for Forza Horizon 6, Series 1 is a continuation of the game’s heavy focus on Japanese car culture. Like prior Forza Horizon games, series updates for Forza Horizon 6 will follow a monthly cadence and include a Festival Playlist, which is a list of challenges that refreshes each week and changes the in-game season.
How to get Festival Playlist Rewards in Forza Horizon 6
Every weekly Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6 has two main reward cars that can be unlocked using points that you earn by completing Festival Playlist challenges – there are two reward cars for the full month, too, making for a total of 16. In addition to the points, completing Festival Playlist challenges will net you rare cars, Wheelspins/Super Wheelspins, clothing items and unique horn sounds.
The Forza Horizon 6 Series 1 reward cars feature a mix of JDM icons, rally legends and classic performance machines, and players only need to unlock their first wristband to access the Festival Playlist system – this reportedly takes about an hour of gameplay progression.
