Convoy Up with Your Friends in Horizon Meets

Car lovers unite; the latest Forza Horizon 6 update is here – Horizon Meets. This series is all about the places you and your friends gather to Convoy up, and there’s no better way to highlight that than through our latest collaboration with 7-Eleven, Inc., who are renowned for their world-famous car meetups.

This update introduces new 7-Eleven content including a limited-time 7-Eleven Evolving World featuring a themed Car Meet and an EventLab Prop Pack. There are also 3 new-to-Horizon cars: the 2025 BMW M4 CS, 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327, and 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH. In addition, there are 2 Car Horns, a new Treasure Car to discover, 200 new levels in Horizon Play with additional cars in Spec Racing, and more!

The question that remains – what is your favorite meeting spot to park up at in Horizon Japan? It could be at the official Car and Drag Meets, or the Drift Attack and Time Attack Circuits. Perhaps you prefer to keep it low-key at one of the many car parks and gas stations located across the open world? Combined with serpentine Touge routes and all the points of interest – including Shibuya Crossing in the heart of Tokyo City – there are endless places to organize your next Car Meet with your friends.

Now, with that important question left to ponder, let’s jump into the details of everything that awaits you over the next four weeks!

Game Improvements and Release Notes

Forza Horizon 6's latest series update will be available for download starting on Monday, October 5 at 5:00PM UTC on XBOX Series X|S, the XBOX app on PC and Steam, ahead of the Horizon Meets Festival Playlist starting on Thursday, October 8 at 2:30PM UTC.

Park Up at the 7-Eleven Car Meet

Thanks to a new collaboration with 7-Eleven, we’ve introduced a limited-time 7-Eleven Evolving World Car Meet and an EventLab Prop Pack inspired by the retail name, so you can get creative in finding new ways to show off your favorite cars!

Visit the brand-new Car Meet location themed around a 7-Eleven convenience store in the Nangan region, located near the Nangan Day Trip – a similar location to a real-life konbini that overlooks Mt. Fuji. We already know this will be a popular spot for you to take photos! While this convenience store is temporarily available as part of the Evolving World for the Horizon Meets series, players will always be able to place the konbini into their EventLab creations.

You can complete the look with the Clerk Uniform, inspired by the uniforms worn by 7-Eleven clerks in Japan, which is unlockable in the Festival Playlist by taking a snapshot of the 7-Eleven Car Meet during the first week of the series.

Around the back of the 7-Eleven konbini you will find a selection of rare and discounted Aftermarket Cars for purchase featuring the 2008 Mazda Furai and 1989 Toyota MR2 SC, which return from the ‘Welcome to Japan’ series, as well as the Wheelspin-exclusive 1998 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR.

Meanwhile, the 7-Eleven Konbini Prop Pack includes new 7-Eleven themed props to use in your EventLab, Garage and Estate creations. Here’s the full list:

• 5 new props in Signs & Flags: 7-Eleven flag (3 variants), 7-Eleven small sign, 7-Eleven tall sign
• 4 new Festival props: E-Z UP tent (3 variants), 7-Eleven branded tent
• 5 new Urban props: 7-Eleven Konbini (the full convenience store from the Evolving World Car Meet), 7-Eleven vending machine, Shop Storage (3 variants with large and small stacks of crates, as well as a metal pulley for stacking crates)
• 2 new props in Roads & Racing: 7-Eleven barrier with graphic (2 variants)
• 1 new prop in Walls & Fences: Metal Railing 3

Feeling hungry? It wouldn't be a 7-Eleven collaboration without the Egg Salad Sandwich Collectible to keep you going throughout those long road-trips across Japan!

That’s not all! There are also 2 new Badges to unlock. Play Forza Horizon 6 at any time during the Horizon Meets series of the Festival Playlist to obtain the “Welcome!” Badge. Park at the 7-Eleven Konbini Car Meet in the 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH to unlock the “Please Visit Again!” Badge.

Discover a New Treasure Car in Japan

With the arrival of Horizon Meets, there are rumblings of a new, missing Treasure Car located somewhere around Japan! Follow the in-game photo clue to track down the whereabouts of a classic 1970 Citroën 2CV: a beautiful addition to any collector’s garage.

Level Up with New Badges in Horizon Play

Earn up to 200 additional levels in Horizon Play! Along the way there are 20 fun new Player Badges to unlock with one Badge unlocked for every 10 levels you complete.

What’s more, if you already reached level 100 and continued playing Horizon Play prior to this update, any excess XP you had earned counts as progress towards these new ranks, and you’ll see your updated level the next time you log into the game.

In addition to the new levels, we’ve introduced the following cars into Spec Racing:

• 2019 Ginetta G40 Junior
• 2020 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12
• 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP
• 1992 Mazda RX-7 Type R
• 2008 Mazda Furai
• 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD
• 1987 Ferrari F40
• 2017 Saleen S7 LM
• 1967 Ferrari #24 Ferrari Spa 330 P4
• 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC

While the 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP, 2023 Audi R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD and 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC are paid DLC cars, all players can experience them in the Spec Racing playlist at no additional cost regardless of whether they’ve purchased their respective DLC packs.

We’ve also added the Edamame Circuit first introduced with the Horizon Mascot Party update into Horizon Drift (all PI classes), Spec Racing (B and C class only) and Horizon Racing (B class only).

We hope you have fun racing and drifting in Horizon Play with these improvements, and we encourage you to continue sharing your ideas for future updates with us on the Forza Feedback Portal.

Festival Playlist

Horizon Meets introduces 3 new-to-Horizon cars, including the 2025 BMW M4 CS, 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327, and 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH.

There are also two cars returning from previous games, the 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT and the 2004 Saleen S7, as well as 2 new Car Horns to obtain – Konbini and Noodle Slurp. In addition, Festival Playlist completionists are invited to start driving towards a new Series History Reward: the 1973 Lamborghini Espada 400 GT, which is unlocked at 1,100 PTS.

As a reminder, you can stay up to date with current and previous Festival Playlist events and challenges in this new hub on Forza.net. Be sure to save this one to your bookmarks so you can easily reference it in the future!

Let’s take a closer look at the new and returning Reward Cars that you can unlock over the next four weeks during the Horizon Meets series.

2025 BMW M4 CS

• Engine: 2.99 l
• Horsepower: 543 hp
• Torque: 479 ft-lb
• Stock Class & PI: S1 733
• Drivetrain: AWD

The thrill of the track meets the practicality of a four-seat vehicle in the 2025 BMW M4 CS. Its all-wheel drive system provides surgical-level precision handling. Designed to be light, the M4 CS delivers speed not for the faint of heart. Could that exterior be more dramatic? We don't know, but we are sure our players will try.

2000 Honda Prelude Type SH

• Engine: 2.16 l inline 4
• Horsepower: 200
• Torque: 156.1 lb-ft
• Stock Class & PI: C 455
• Drivetrain: FWD

The SH in the 2000 Honda Prelude Type SH stands for Super Handling; it was named this way due to the innovative implementation of the Active Torque Transfer System, which helped the car combat oversteering. Praised for its handling and surprising big block engine, the Prelude Type SH is a few mods away from becoming your next drifter.

2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT

• Engine: 5.0 V8
• Horsepower: 750
• Torque: 653 lb-ft
• Stock Class & PI: S1 733
• Drivetrain: RWD

The 2018 DeBerti Ford Mustang GT is a demonstration of what the heart of a racer can design given the chance. Customized from end to end, the DeBerti Mustang features a Roush supercharger, TT Designs widebody kit, a hood designed by Brad DeBerti himself, and an Air Design rear wing among other modifications to create a wild modern muscle car worthy of driving to your favorite Drag Meets.

2004 Saleen S7

• Engine: 7.0-V8
• Horsepower: 575
• Torque: 570 lb-ft
• Stock Class & PI: S1 773
• Drivetrain: RWD

One of the first true American supercars arrives to Horizon Japan! The 2004 Saleen S7 is a road-legal redesign of an endurance racing vehicle by the same brand. With a body made completely of carbon fiber and air scoops in almost every corner, the S7 makes the most out of its massive V8 engine to give you plenty of reasons to boast when arriving to a track day with your friends.

1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327

• Engine: 5.36 l V8
• Horsepower: 249
• Torque: 325 lb-ft
• Stock Class & PI: D 366
• Drivetrain: RWD

The 1968 Holden Monaro GTS 327 is the answer to "what happens when Australian and American muscle collide?". The GTS 327 is equipped with a big, mean Chevrolet V8 engine that powers the rear wheels of the car. That same configuration allowed this Monaro to take home the gold, silver and bronze from the Mount Panorama race.

Car Pass

Forza Horizon 6’s Car Pass delivers 30 new cars that, one by one, will be delivered to your garage each week. Car Pass is the ultimate way to upgrade your collection with some of the freshest cars making their debut at the Horizon Festival.

If you're new to Car Pass, check out the Forza Horizon 6 car list to see all the vehicles that have been released into Car Pass so far. This is also a great resource to track every car that is currently in the game, and it also includes notes on how they can be obtained.

As a new car is made available with the Car Pass each Thursday, it will automatically be added to your garage at no additional in-game cost, allowing you to save those credits.

Car Pass is included with Forza Horizon 6 Deluxe and Premium Editions, as well as the Premium Upgrade. It’s also available as a separate purchase for players who have the Standard Edition or are playing with Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass.

Here are the cars you can look forward to driving in Horizon Japan over the next four weeks:

1972 Datsun 240Z #5 Rallye

• Engine: 2.39 l
• Horsepower: 217 hp
• Torque: 169 ft-lb
• Stock Class & PI: B 538
• Drivetrain: RWD

After a long and arduous journey through Monte-Carlo, the 1972 Datsun 240Z #5 Rallye has arrived at Horizon Japan. This car used a rear-wheel drive and front engine configuration rarely seen in rally (much less races with snow and ice stages) to take the third position at one of the world's most grueling events. Explore the Horizon Festival in one of the first Japanese cars to take home a rally podium finish!

2024 Ferrari Purosangue

• Engine: 6.5 V12
• Horsepower: 715
• Torque: 528 lb-ft
• Stock Class & PI: S1 713
• Drivetrain: AWD

Four doors and four seats is probably not the configuration you expect to see in a Ferrari; however, the 2024 Ferrari Purosangue's design keeps concepts like aerodynamics, handling, and sports performance close to its heart. The Purosangue gives you the full Ferrari Experience with more legroom to stretch.

1990 Eunos Cosmo

• Engine: 1.96 l
• Horsepower: 276 hp
• Torque: 296 ft-lb
• Stock Class & PI: C 487
• Drivetrain: RWD

Under the unassumingly simple exterior of the 1990 Eunos Cosmo hides a highly innovative, technologically advanced grand tourer. Sold under Mazda's luxury brand, the Eunos Cosmo is one of the first vehicles to have a touchscreen and GPS on its dashboard. It is also the proud owner of a twin turbocharged rotary engine. Travel to the dimension of 90s futurism with the Cosmo!

2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+

• Engine: 3.98 l
• Horsepower: 577 hp
• Torque: 590 ft-lb
• Stock Class & PI: S1 742
• Drivetrain: AWD

As the saying goes, speed is in the details. After a lot of fine tuning and upgrading, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic+ reaches new levels of performance. Its AWD system, carbon fiber details, impressive growl, optimized cooling technology make the 4Matic+ feel like it's ready to race nonstop.

What’s Next

We know how much you love Tokyo City and to celebrate this urban paradise for the racers of Forza Horizon 6, our next update will be themed around City Life! Get ready to hone your skills at two additional permanent race routes located in Tokyo alongside 3 new-to-Horizon cars to unlock from the Festival Playlist, a new EventLab Prop Pack, and more.
