Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist explained
The Festival Playlist is the heartbeat of Forza Horizon 6. It is how you earn the rarest cars and a big chunk of your credits. The structure looks busy at first, so here is how the pieces fit together.
Series and Seasons
A Series is a month long content cycle. Each Series is split into four week long Seasons that rotate through Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. The Season changes the weather and surface conditions across the whole map.
The Season rolls over every Thursday at 09:30 ET, which is 06:30 PT. When it changes, a fresh set of seasonal challenges and rewards appears.
How you earn rewards
Completing challenges earns Series Points. Points unlock rewards across two tiers. Season rewards sit at lower thresholds and refresh every week, while Series rewards need a larger total and include the most desirable cars.
Challenge types include seasonal championships, PR stunts such as speed and drift zones, Forzathon events, treasure chests and the co-op Trial.
Playlist History, the anti FOMO change
New for Forza Horizon 6, Playlist History rewards recognise points earned across many Series. These cannot be unlocked inside a single Series even with full completion, so they reward long term play rather than punishing anyone who misses a week.
Frequently asked
When does the Festival Playlist reset?
The Season changes weekly on Thursday at 09:30 ET (06:30 PT). A new Series begins roughly every four weeks.
Do I have to finish the whole playlist?
No. Season rewards unlock at lower point totals, so even a partial clear is worthwhile. Full completion is only needed for the top Series reward cars.
