Can you believe that Spring has sprung in Forza Horizon 6 already? It’s crazy how time flies, but that does mean we have come to the end of the first series of Festival Playlist Challenges. So what do we have to get involved with this week? Well, new events, more championships and the gathering of new cars. Let us help you navigate the blooming madness with all the cars and tunes you will need to take down the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist Challenges for Season 1 Spring.
The Series 1 Spring challenges will run from June 11th-18th, so you’ve got plenty of time to load up Forza Horizon 6 and get involved, through Game Pass if you like.
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. Of course, once Series 1 Spring is done, we’ll be moving on to the Series 2 shenanigans.
Here’s everything included in the Forza Horizon 6 Series 1 Spring Festival Playlist, along with our recommended cars, tune setups in the form of share codes, and challenge tips. You may well need them.
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. Should you be looking for all our Challenge Guides, we’ve got you covered.
Completing events across the map increases your seasonal progress, unlocking exclusive rewards before the Playlist resets the following week.

Event: Monthly Rivals
- Points: 4pts

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.Last time though, so now is the time if you haven’t already.
Event: Weekly Challenge
- Points:
- Challenge: Guts, Glory, Ram
- Car: 2024 RAM 1500 TRX
- Reward: 25,000 Credits
This is the latest in a long line of ridiculously big American pick ups, and with 700 BHP under the bonnet (or “hood” if you insist) it should prove to pretty good fun. It will cost you 95,000 credits from the Autoshow should you not have one in your stable.
Step 1 – Own and drive the car. Simple enough! As long as you have the pennies…
Step 2 – Now earn 3 stars at Danger Signs.Not all at once, so you can build up to it. Or simply jump as far as you can!
Stage 3 – Earn 5 Great Wreckage Skills now. Go and smash stuff
Stage 4 – For the final challenge, win a Cross Country race in the car. With a little light tuning (112738744) this should be a piece of cake. Mmm, cake… Top tip – do the Spring into Action Championship to kill two birds with one stone!
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: #ASTROTOY
- Car: Track Toys
- Reward:ForzaLink phrase – Beam me up!
Nice and easy this week, simply photograph a car at the rocket in the spaceport. See the top of the article for my efforts.
Event: Treasure Hunt
- Points: 3pts
- Challenge: Find the chest!
- Car: No Restriction
- Reward: 100,000 credits
We need to find a chest in the Tokyo City Region for this challenge. Nice and straightforward, especially if you have a look at the map I’ll drop below! Drive into it for many credits.
Go up the building next to the location, then go to the highest level and fall off the side. Trust me!’
Event: Seasonal Championship – Cross Country
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Spring into Action
- Car: Pickups and 4×4’s – B Class:Reward:Mini John Cooper Works GP ‘21
We need a Pickup or 4×4 for this event. How about a nice big RAM from the first challenge?
The share code for my B Class tune is 112738744. More than 1000 BHP, would could go wrong?
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: Hitting the Highway
- Car:Modern Muscle – A Class
- Reward:Ferrari F355 Berlinetta ‘94
Modern Muscle cars aren’t renowned for handling, so I set to work with the spanners. I chose a Shelby Mustang GT500, and the share code for mine is 117723813.
Go steady on the corners, as good tyres added too much to the level.
Event: Seasonal Championship – Street Racing
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Instant Classic
- Car: Classic Sports Cars – C Class
- Reward: Maserati MC12
I didn’t realise quite how rare the MC12 was in real life, so winning one in-game is a pretty good reward. For a Classic Sports Car, I chose a Toyota Sports 800 from 1965. The share code is 167472640.
Event: Speed Trap
- Points: Wheelspin
- Location:Shibuya Crossing
- Car: Japan -A Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
A Japanese car and A Class? How about a Nissan Silvia K’s from 1998? Share code for mine is 545995206.
The target speed is 160 mph. This is hard with the amount of traffic on the road.
Event: Drift Zone
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Seaside Trail
- Car: Japan – A Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
I used the same Silvia for this challenge, as a bit of a poke with a stick will get it sliding…
We need to slide about to the tune of 85,000 points. In an A Class car, this one is pretty tricky. Seems they are being mean this week!
Event: Trailblazer
- Points: 2pts
- Location : Coastal Descent
- Car: Japan – A Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
Off road means a third car, and an Evo, obviously! I went with the Evo X GSR, and the share code is 136304838.
We need to have 38 seconds or more left on the clock.
Event: Soni Time Attack
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Soni Circuit
- Car: Japan – A Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
We need to do a lap of the course in under 55 seconds, and stay in the Evo from above. It did a standing lap in 53 seconds, so very easy.
Event: Horizon Play – Spec-tacular Driving!
- Points: 2pts
- Car: Not required
- Reward: Saleen S7LM ‘17
We need to play the Spec Racing event this time around, where every one is given the same car, no tunes required!
All we need to do is earn three Ultimate Clean Racing Skills in races, so stay out of the walls and all will be well.
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 (again) as snapping is super simple. From there, go for the Treasure Hunt.
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 Spring. And make sure you come back this time next week as we provide you with a neat little guide to completing everything found in the Festival Playlist Challenges for Series 2 – Summer. It’s the Horizon Decades that take centre stage.
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.
