Series 4 of the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist Challenges moves into Autumn, and as the leaves start to fall, I’m starting to see some welcome rain outside the window. The best thing to do is to stay in and drive some virtual cars! Seeing as Series 4 is offering up the Horizon Mascot Party, new cars, and plenty of new content, I see no reason to ever leave the house again.
You’ll find that the Series 4 Autumn challenges are in place from now, running till August 27th 2026. Fire up Forza Horizon 6 this instant and get involved with the latest challenges. And remember, you can play through Game Pass if you like.
As always, Series 4 gives you the opportunity to rack up Festival Playlist Points by completing events across the map, unlocking the featured seasonal rewards before we start all over again with Series 5.
Here’s everything included in the Forza Horizon 6 Series 4 Autumn Festival Playlist, along with our recommended cars, tune setups in the form of share codes, and challenge tips. Hopefully they’ll help you out. If they do, let us know down in the comments.
What Is The Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist?
If you’re new to the scene, 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 Series 4 taking place from August 13th, for 4 weeks. From there, we move into Series 5. 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.

- Points – 20 | Reward – 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (Rare)
- Points – 40 | Reward – 2010 Abarth 695 Biposto (Common)
Not massively excited by either of those cars, to be honest – A muscle car and a shopping trolley. Ah well!

- Points – 160 | Reward – 1967 Renault 8 Gordini (Common)
Event: Monthly Rivals
- Points: 4pts
- Circuit: Edamame Circuit
- Car: Honda N600
- Reward: Super Wheelspin
Remember, get round with a clean lap to succeed. It doesn’t need to be fast, just neat! Basically, go as slow as you like… And given the car this month, it’s not like you’d have a choice!
Event: Weekly Challenge
- Points: 5pts
- Challenge: Hot Hatcha Tea
- Car: 2021 Hyundai i20 N
- Reward: 25,000 Credits
Remember, it is pronounced Hyun-day, not Hyundai!
Still, the i20 N is another of those little cars fitted with a hot engine in an attempt to bring a bit of rally glamour to a supermarket car park near you!
If you want one for free, complete the “Scenic Nights” championship, otherwise it is 48,000 credits at the Autoshow if you don’t have one. I tweaked mine a bit, as you’ve come to expect, and the share code is 142320013.
Step 1: Own and drive the car. Pretty simple.
Step 2 : Now simply earn 4 Speed Skills. Easy enough with that tune.
Step 3 : Now we just have to win any Street Race in the car. No problemo!
Step 4: Now we need to do three laps of the new Edamame Time Attack circuit at the Stadium.
Enjoy your credits and points!
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. You’ll want to keep checking back to find out what you need to do each and every time! There is an achievement for earning every point in a season, and these are key to doing that.
Event: Photo Challenge
- Points: 2pts
- Challenge: #DeliciousDango
- Car: Any
- Reward: Clothing -Dango Outfit
Take a picture of your character outside the car in the Mascot Party’s Tokyo City Dango area. Seems pretty straight forward! This is in the main stadium, for the avoidance of doubt.
See the top of this article for my effort.
Event: Collectables
- Points: 3pts
- Challenge: Homerun
- Car: Any
- Reward: Super Wheelspin
Simply smash 15 Shimanoyama Heat mascots at the Stadium – they look a bit like baseballs!
The picture below shows you what you are looking for.
Event: Seasonal Championship – Cross Country
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: All Wheel Domination
- Car: Total AWD – B Class
- Reward: #179 Hammerhead
B Class and AWD means my fav Evo VIII MR comes out to play. Especially if we are going off roading. Share code is 108833644.
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 – Street Racing
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Scenic Nights
- Car: Hot Hatch – B Class
- Reward: Hyundai i20N
Hot Hatches are pretty good fun, all things considered. I used a Renault Megane R26.R, and the share code is 125007174.
Event: Seasonal Championship – The Trial
- Points: 5pts
- Championship: Fun Fair
- Car: Modern Sports Cars – A Class
- Reward: Fairlady Z ‘79
Teams have been good these last few weeks, maybe people are beginning to get that The Trial is a team event?
Anyway, Modern Sports Cars means I’m going to use a Mercedes AMG SLC 423 Final Edition, and the share code is 106399007.
Good luck with your team!
Event: Hide & Seek
- Points: Wheelspin
- Location: Somewhere
- Car: Any provided
- Reward: Forzalink Phrase – “Their vision is based on movement”
Play a game of Hide & Seek, and simply complete it. No need to win, just do your best.
Event: Danger Sign
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Tanbo Launch
- Car: Retro Sports Cars – B Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
Jump over 180m to clear this event. I used a Skyline Gt-R, obviously, the R33 model from 1997.
Share code is 100235908, and if you can ensure you are hitting the ramp around 140mph, you’ll clear it easy.
Event: Speed Zone
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Arashiyama Run
- Car: UTVs – C Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
Average speed racing with UTVs is always going to be interesting!
This time around we have to hit an average of 85 mph over the course to win, so I used a Polaris RZR Pro XP Ultimate. The share code is 239785438, but whatever you do, do not brake!
Event: Speed Zone
- Points: 2pts
- Location:Festival Loop
- Car: UTVs – C Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
Average speed of 70mph sounds doable, but UTVs aren’t noted for their stability! Regardless, I used the same car as above.
Event: Trailblazer
- Points: 2pts
- Location: On Par
- Car: UTVs – C Class
- Reward: Wheelspin
Complete the course with more than 33 seconds on the clock to win. Same car again, I feel!
Event: Horizon Stunt Party
- Points: 3pts
- Location: Online
- Car: Depends on the event
- Reward: Clothing – Green Gingham Relaxed Shirt
It’s Stunt Party time once more so you’ll have to hang around until it pops. Jump on it when it appears is my advice and should it do so, you’ll need to complete Round 3 to win out. Fairly easy though.
Event: Horizon Online
- Points: 2pts
- Location: Squeaky Clean
- Car: Depends on Event
- Reward: MX-5 Cup 2017
We need to do some Spec Racing online this week, and we need to get three LINK Clean Start skills in this arena. Don’t crash at the beginning is my advice! No tunes as it’s Spec Racing, so go with the flow.
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, and pretty much as always, we always recommend ticking off the Photo challenge first – it’s the most simple way to rack up the points. Then hit up the Homerun Collectables before making the most of Horizon Stunt Party. Grind away and you’ll find points coming your way fairly swiftly.
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 4 Autumn. Next up, we’ll return with some hints, tips and tunes for the challenges found in S4 Winter and then Spring.
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.
