Forza Horizon 6 is expanding its Japanese car culture experience with Series 6, officially titled Horizon Meets. Released on October 5, 2026, the update introduces a limited-time 7-Eleven-themed Car Meet, new vehicles, a Treasure Car hunt, additional Horizon Play progression, and a fresh lineup of Festival Playlist rewards. Developed by Playground Games, the update places greater emphasis on social driving, car collecting, and player-created events.
The Horizon Meets series runs across four weeks, giving players several opportunities to expand their garages, unlock exclusive cosmetics, and explore new multiplayer activities. For collectors, the update also provides another reason to plan their in-game Credits carefully, particularly when deciding which cars to purchase, upgrade, or pursue through seasonal challenges.
7-Eleven Collaboration Brings a New Car Meet to Japan
The headline feature of Series 6 is a collaboration with 7-Eleven, introducing a themed convenience store and Car Meet in the Nangan region near Nangan Day Trip. The location draws inspiration from Japanese konbini culture, with a scenic setting overlooking Mount Fuji.
The Car Meet is part of a limited-time Evolving World feature. However, players can continue using the 7-Eleven convenience store assets in their own EventLab creations after the temporary location leaves the world.
The collaboration includes several collectible and customization opportunities:
- 7-Eleven Konbini Prop Pack: New signs, flags, tents, vending machines, convenience-store assets, crates, and barriers for EventLab, Garage, and Estate creations.
- Clerk Uniform: Unlocked by photographing the 7-Eleven Car Meet during the first week of the series.
- Egg Salad Sandwich Collectible: A themed collectible celebrating Japanese convenience-store culture.
- Two new Car Horns: Konbini and Noodle Slurp.
- Two new Badges: Welcome! and Please Visit Again!, with the latter requiring players to park a 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH at the themed Car Meet.
The location also features a selection of Aftermarket Cars, including the returning 2008 Mazda Furai and 1989 Toyota MR2 SC, alongside the Wheelspin-exclusive 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR.
New Cars and Festival Playlist Rewards
Series 6 adds three vehicles making their Horizon debut, alongside returning cars and a new Series History reward. Players can unlock several of these vehicles by completing Festival Playlist activities during the four-week event.
| Vehicle | Unlock Requirement | Key Details |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 BMW M4 CS | 80 Series Points | 543 hp, AWD, S1 733 |
| 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH | 20 Summer Season Points | 200 hp, FWD, C 455 |
| 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT | 20 Autumn Season Points | 750 hp, RWD, S1 733 |
| 2004 Saleen S7 | 20 Winter Season Points | 575 hp, RWD, S1 773 |
| 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327 | 20 Spring Season Points | 249 hp, RWD, D 366 |
| 1973 Lamborghini Espada 400 GT | 1,100 Series Points | Series History reward |
The 2025 BMW M4 CS is a major target for players seeking a modern performance car. Its all-wheel-drive configuration and 543-horsepower engine make it an appealing addition for road racing and high-speed driving.
The 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH offers a different experience. Its front-wheel-drive layout and Active Torque Transfer System make it a handling-focused classic that players can customize for road driving or drifting.
Meanwhile, the DeBerti Ford Mustang GT brings 750 horsepower and rear-wheel drive to the lineup. Its supercharger and widebody modifications make it a natural fit for players who enjoy drag racing and powerful muscle cars.
The 2004 Saleen S7 and 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327 round out the returning and classic-car rewards, offering two very different approaches to performance: an American supercar and a V8-powered Australian muscle car.
Treasure Car Hunt Adds the 1970 Citroën 2CV
Series 6 also introduces a new Treasure Car to discover in Japan. Players must follow an in-game photo clue to locate the missing 1970 Citroën 2CV.
Unlike a straightforward vehicle purchase, this activity rewards exploration and attention to environmental clues. Players who enjoy uncovering hidden content should make the Treasure Car hunt a priority before spending Credits on other garage additions.
The Citroën also gives collectors another reason to explore the map rather than focusing exclusively on races and the Festival Playlist. Its availability through a discovery activity makes it a distinct part of the Series 6 experience.
Horizon Play Gains 200 Levels and More Spec Racing Cars
The update extends Horizon Play progression by 200 levels, accompanied by 20 new Player Badges. Players earn one Badge for every 10 levels completed.
Those who had already reached level 100 before the update can benefit from previously accumulated excess XP. Existing progress counts toward the new ranks, with updated levels appearing the next time players log in.
Series 6 also expands the Spec Racing vehicle selection:
| Newly Added Spec Racing Cars | Main Appeal |
|---|---|
| 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior | Lightweight racing |
| 2020 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 | Track-focused performance |
| 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP | Prototype racing heritage |
| 1992 Mazda RX-7 Type R | Classic Japanese sports-car tuning |
| 2008 Mazda Furai | High-performance concept design |
| 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD | Modern rear-wheel-drive supercar |
| 1987 Ferrari F40 | Iconic performance classic |
| 2017 Saleen S7 LM | High-performance supercar |
| 1967 Ferrari #24 Ferrari Spa 330 P4 | Historic endurance racing |
| 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC | Touring-car racing |
Three of these vehicles—the 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP, 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD, and 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R race car—are paid DLC vehicles. However, players can drive them in the Spec Racing playlist without purchasing their respective DLC packs.
The Edamame Circuit also joins additional Horizon Play modes, including Horizon Drift, Spec Racing, and Horizon Racing, with availability determined by the relevant performance class.
Car Pass Adds Four More Vehicles
Series 6 continues the Car Pass rollout with four additional vehicles scheduled to arrive on Thursdays throughout the update.
| Release Date | Car Pass Vehicle | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| October 8 | 1972 Datsun 240Z #5 Rallye | Rally heritage, rear-wheel drive |
| October 15 | 2024 Ferrari Purosangue | 715 hp, AWD, V12 engine |
| October 22 | 1990 Eunos Cosmo | Twin-turbo rotary engine, 276 hp |
| October 29 | 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+ | 577 hp, AWD |
Car Pass vehicles are automatically added to the garage when released, without an additional in-game Credit cost. The pass is included with the Deluxe and Premium Editions, as well as the Premium Upgrade, and can also be purchased separately.
For players who already own the Car Pass, these scheduled additions offer a straightforward way to expand their collection while keeping their Credits available for other purchases.
Update Fixes Address Drift Attack and Audio Issues
Alongside new content, Playground Games has included several fixes based on player feedback.
The update addresses an exploit that allowed players to continue accumulating Drift Attack score through fast travel or rewinds. It also adds Drive Mode animation audio for the 2021 Mercedes-AMG ONE, 2013 McLaren P1, 2017 Ford GT, and 2025 McLaren W1.
Other fixes include correcting a Collection Journal issue involving the Temple of Nachi Falls photography challenge and restoring Tire Scrub audio when moving the wheels while stationary. New engine swaps for selected existing cars are also included.
These improvements help support a more consistent driving experience while expanding the range of activities available in Horizon Japan.
How Series 6 Affects Forza Horizon 6 Credits Management
With new seasonal rewards, returning Aftermarket Cars, and additional vehicles to collect, Series 6 gives players several competing uses for their in-game Credits. A little planning can help avoid unnecessary spending.
Players interested in expanding their garage should consider the following priorities:
- Complete Festival Playlist challenges first. Earnable reward cars can save Credits that would otherwise go toward purchasing vehicles.
- Follow the Treasure Car clue. Exploration offers a separate route to expanding the collection without treating every desirable car as a marketplace purchase.
- Check the 7-Eleven Aftermarket Cars. Returning vehicles and limited availability can make this location worth visiting before making other garage decisions.
- Use the Car Pass if already owned. Its weekly vehicles arrive without additional in-game Credit costs.
- Prioritize upgrades that match your driving style. A well-tuned car can be more useful than purchasing several vehicles that serve similar purposes.
Players looking to buy Forza Horizon 6 Credits should also consider their collection goals before committing resources. Whether the priority is building a competitive racing garage, collecting rare classics, or customizing cars for social meets, keeping a clear spending plan helps make each purchase more meaningful.
For players who prefer to focus on driving rather than repeated currency grinding, Forza Horizon 6 Credits remain an important part of the broader progression experience. The key is to balance purchases with seasonal rewards and free content instead of spending indiscriminately.
What Horizon Meets Means for the Future of Forza Horizon 6
Horizon Meets is more than a vehicle drop. The 7-Eleven collaboration, expanded EventLab assets, additional Horizon Play levels, and Treasure Car hunt all support a broader vision of Horizon as a social automotive playground rather than a racing game built exclusively around finishing events.
The update gives competitive drivers more progression, collectors more cars to pursue, and creative players new tools for building custom environments. Its four-week Festival Playlist also encourages regular participation without requiring every player to follow the same route through the game.
For players returning to Japan or building their first serious garage, Series 6 provides a mix of limited-time activities and longer-term collection goals. By combining seasonal rewards, exploration, and careful Credits management, players can get more from the Horizon Festival while deciding which cars deserve a permanent place in their collection.
