We’re into Autumn with the second week of the Festival Playlist challenges in Forza Horizon 6 and once more we have a week full of events to partake in, reward cars to nab, seasonal championships to take down, and more. Our guide is here to help you out.
This time around the Series 1 Autumn challenges will run from May 28th through June 4th, so you’ve got plenty of time to fire FH6 up and get involved.
As always, the aim is to stack up Festival Playlist Points by completing events across the map, unlocking the featured seasonal rewards before the next season rotation arrives. With a Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec up for grabs, alongside a healthy helping of dirt racing, cross-country action and a fresh set of PR stunts, there’s plenty of reason to get stuck into the second week of Series 1.
Here’s everything included in the Forza Horizon 6 Series 1 Autumn Festival Playlist, along with our recommended cars, tune setups in the form of share codes, and challenge tips. You may well need them.
And if you’re looking for all the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist Challenge Guides, we’ve got you sorted.
What Is The Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist?
If you’re new around these parts, the Festival Playlist is Forza Horizon 6’s rotating weekly challenge system, offering players the chance to complete seasonal events in exchange for Playlist Points, reward cars, Wheelspins and Credits.
Each Series lasts four weeks and is split into Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring editions, with Season 1 running between May 21st and June 18th 2026, after which Season 2 will open up.
Completing events across the map increases your seasonal progress, unlocking exclusive rewards before the Playlist resets the following week.

Event: Monthly Rivals
- Points: 4pts
- Circuit: Soni Circuit
- Car: 2008 Mazda Furai
- Reward: Super Wheelspin
No change from last week, which given this is the Monthly Rivals does make sense! Get a clean lap, no need to go too fast, etc, etc.
Event: Weekly Challenge
- Points:
- Challenge: King of the Road
- Car: 1989 Nissan Silvia K;s
- Reward: 25,000Credits
The S13 model of the Nissan Silvia (or 200SX as we know it over here in the UK) has always been my favourite of the models. Now we need to go out and own one for our very own!
Stump up 38000 credits at the Autoshow and it can be yours too.
Step 1 – Own and drive the car. Simple enough! As long as you have the pennies…
Step 2 – Earn 3 stars at drift zones. Should be easy, right? Pick a short one for best results, and feel free to throw some drift tyres on if it makes you happy..
Stage 3 – Win a road race next. I tuned it up a touch, and the share code is 166166468. I may have got a bit carried away….
Stage 4 – Now simply complete two drag runs at the Festival Kilometre track. Step up to the line, press X and away you go.
Event: Daily Challenges
- Points: 1pt x7
- Challenge: 7 Individual Challenges
- Car: Varies
- Reward: Credits
Daily challenges return, and as the name suggests, a new one is unlocked every day. Keep checking back to find out what you need to do! There is an achievement for earning every point in a season, and these are key to doing that.
Event: Photo Challenge
- Points: 2pts
- Challenge: #TokyoTower
- Car: No Restriction
- Reward: Forza Link Phrase : “Ooh, Shiny!”
Nice and easy this week, simply photograph a car at the Tokyo Tower. Get artistic – like me!!!
Event: Treasure Hunt
- Points: 3pts
- Challenge: Minaminoi Region
- Car: No Restriction
- Reward: 100,000 Credits
Simply follow the photo clue to find the chest. Or, as an added bonus, if you buy the Treasure map, the chest is shown on the map for you. Check the location below.
Event: Seasonal Championship – Dirt
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Trail Mix
- Car: Modern Rally : B Class
- Reward: Schuppan 962CR
Modern Rally can only mean an Evo, to me at least, and B Class means I chose an Evo VIII MR, and the share code for mine is 108833644. I do like the older, wilder Evo’s I have to say, but this should do the job.
Win all three races solo, or best two of three if you’re in a convoy, and the prize will be yours. .
Event: Seasonal Championship – Road
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Majestic Domestics
- Car: Eclectic Domestics – D Class
- Reward: 2016 Abarth 695
This isn’t a car category you can search, sadly, but out of the cars we could choose I went with a Subaru Vivio RX-R, mainly as I like the name.
To add a little spice, I kept mine bone stock, and still came out on top. Give it a try. It responds very nicely to a bit of handbrake…
Event: Seasonal Championship – Cross Country
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Country Living
- Car: Unlimited Off-Road – A Class
- Reward: 2021 Aston Martin DBX
A nice bit of off roading calls for a roughty toughty car, and so I chose the Jeep Trailcat.
I’ve been waiting for an excuse to use this thing, one of my best cars of Forza Horizon 5. The share code is 674731767. No more power, but made lighter and with better brakes, this thing flies. With 708 BHP as standard, it certainly isn’t shy.
Top tip: the second race in the series, Edogawa Cross Country, will let you fulfil the conditions for the photo challenge!
Event: Trailblazer
- Points: Wheelspin
- Location: On Par
- Car: Japan – B Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
A Japanese car and a time of 30s remaining to beat – we need an Evo! The same one from the Dirt race above should see you right. Very straight forward this week.
Event: Danger Sign
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Highway Jump
- Car: Japan – B Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
The run up is on dirt, so I stuck with the same Evo. Makes things simple anyway!!
The share code for mine is 108833644, in case you’d forgotten.
We need to clear over 244 metres to win. For best results, make sure you take as much run up as you can! Hit the ramp at above 126mph to succeed.
Event: Speed Zone
- Points: 2pts
- Location : Forest Straight
- Car: Japan – B Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
Same Evo did the job, as the speed we need to achieve is 85 mph on average – we can do that with our eyes closed, right?
Event: Seasonal Job : Tokyo City Food Delivery
- Points: 3pts
- Car: Supplied
- Reward: 1987 Nissan Be-1
Deliver some food for the Raku Raku company. Luckily, these are short, usually fun little sprints that are a good way to spend time. For the avoidance of doubt, the game considers a shift to be three delivery jobs back to back. I have to admit, they are kinda fun.
Event: Touge Showdown : Mazda of the Mountain
- Points: 2pts
- Car: Any Mazda
- Reward: Lamborghini Huracan EVO
Complete any Touge Championship online with a Mazda. Since this is online, just pick a Mazda that works for you: the MX-5 Cup is a good choice. Or maybe a Red Suns tribute RX-7? My 1982 RX-7 share code is 123962226. (A Class)
Of course, if you get a B Class race, this won’t help, but still…
Fastest Ways To Earn Playlist Points This Week
If you’re looking to unlock the seasonal rewards quickly, you may want to prioritise the easier activities first. If that is indeed the case, we recommend ticking off the Photo challenge first as snapping is super simple, and you should probably follow that with the Treasure Hunt. We think this week’s Trailblazer is easy too.
This should allow you to stack up a healthy hit of progress through the Playlist before even touching the longer Seasonal Championships.
Follow our lead from up above and you should find yourself powering through the Festival Playlist challenges in Forza Horizon 6 for Series 1 Autumn. To follow? Well, that will be the challenges of Winter (Subaru STI S209, and Spring (Toyota Starlet ‘96). We’ll be back with guides for each of those as the weeks progress.
Once Season 1 is over, we move into Season 2 and the Horizon Decades.
As always, we’d love to hear if any of our cars and tunes helped you out, so feel free to get involved in the comments.
And remember, you’ll need a copy of Forza Horizon 6 in your digital library. It’s available through Game Pass if you prefer. Just head to the Xbox Store and enjoy a download.
Nice to see you back with some good tips….keep it up, I’ll be checking them out weekly.
