Gone are the days of starting as a superstar. FH6 requires players to build their reputation from the ground up.
The Journey: Begin as a tourist and complete Horizon Qualifiers and the Horizon Invitational to earn your first wristband and officially join the festival.
Wristband Ranks: There are seven wristbands, progressing from yellow to gold, echoing the original Forza Horizon.
Curated Racing: Festival races are now themed and tiered. Each wristband level may require specific cars for Road, Dirt, or Cross Country events.
Legend Island: Achieving the Gold Wristband unlocks Legend Island, an exclusive area for top drivers featuring the Colossus—the longest Goliath event in the series’ history.
Seasonal & World Updates
Seasons return with impact similar to Forza Horizon 4, transforming both the map and gameplay.
Dynamic Environments: Winter roads are mostly plowed for grip, while off-road paths stay snowy for extra challenge.
Cultural Festivals: Seasons now tie into Japanese culture, including events like the Carp Festival in spring and the Lantern Festival in autumn.
Evolving World: The Festival Playlist delivers weekly updates, adding new cars and content post-launch.
