Updated: June 4, 2026 
Note: This article was updated on June 4th, 2026, with all the events and rewards for the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist.
The Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6 is where you earn many of the game’s best reward cars. New events arrive every Thursday, and completing them across all four seasons helps you unlock some of the most wanted cars in the game. If you want to know exactly which cars are up for grabs in Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist and how to claim each one, this is your roadmap.
Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist Guide (Current Series)
Series 1 is called Welcome to Japan, and it runs from May 21 to June 18, 2026. So you have four weekly seasons to grind through:
- Summer
- Autumn
- Winter
- Spring
Each season hands out its own pair of reward cars, but two extra cars are tied to your total points across the entire series.
You earn points by completing events like championships, PR Stunts, Treasure Hunts, Photo challenges, weekly challenges, daily challenges, Touge Battles, and more. The points feed into both the weekly season rewards and the bigger series-wide rewards at the same time, so nothing is wasted.
There is also a fresh addition this time around. Series History Rewards are exclusive cars unlocked based on your lifetime Playlist Points across the whole game. Playground Games has not detailed every car in this pool yet, but it is a permanent track that keeps rewarding you long after individual series end.
On top of all that, completing each type of Festival Playlist activity during Series 1 earns you a special Cherry Blossom Badge for your in-game profile.
Remember, you need the Yellow Wristband to even open the Festival Playlist menu. If you have not finished the Horizon Invitational from the Wristband Event yet, knock that out first. It takes about an hour of normal play.
Festival Playlist Series-Wide Reward Cars
There are the big prizes that span the entire month. You earn points as you complete events across every season:
2008 Mazda Furai - 60 PTS
The Furai is an ultra-elusive concept car powered by a modified 450-horsepower 20B 3-rotor Wankel engine. The name means sound of the wind in Japanese, and there is no better place to drive it than the roads of Japan in Forza Horizon 6.
2010 Nissan 370Z - 120 PTS
This is the big endgame target. 120 points is roughly a third of the total points available across the whole series, so this one rewards consistency. Log in every week, clear your dailies, and finish the championships you enjoy.
Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist Series 1 Reward Cars
Here is the full list of cars you can unlock during Welcome to Japan Series 1, broken down by season and points requirement:
| Season | Reward Car | Points Needed | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer | 1999 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition | 20 PTS | May 21 - May 28 (Expired) |
| 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR | 40 PTS | ||
| Autumn | 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec | 20 PTS | May 28 - June 4 (Expired) |
| 1991 Honda CR-X SiR | 40 PTS | ||
| Spring | 2019 Subaru STI S209 | 20 PTS | June 4 - June 11 (Available Now) |
| 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Arctic Trucks | 40 PTS | ||
| Winter | 1996 Toyota Starlet Glanza V | 20 PTS | June 11 - June 18 |
| 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5 | 40 PTS | ||
| Series-wide | 2008 Mazda Furai | 60 PTS | May 21 - June 18 |
| 2010 Nissan 370Z | 120 PTS |
The eight seasonal cars are only available during their specific week (season), so missing one means waiting for it to cycle back around eventually. The two series-wide rewards are more forgiving since you have the full month to chase them.
