Forza Horizon 6 Series 4 Festival Playlist:

• 1968 Dodge Dart HEMI Super Stock (Spring Reward)

1970 Honda N600

This is one of the most distinctive Forza Horizon 6 cars in Series 4 and a brand-new addition to Forza Horizon series. It is a very small Kei car with a starting D class and 100 PI in FH6, making it the lowest-performance car among the 10 rewards in this Series.

1970 Honda N600 was the first Honda model to enter the U.S. market, featuring a 600cc two-cylinder engine and originally introduced in 1969. It also has considerable collector appeal. Its performance is not particularly impressive, but it should feel much better to drive after upgrading.

1967 Renault 8 Gordini

This French hot hatch has a strong rally pedigree, winning Tour de Corse Rally for three consecutive years from 1964 to 1966. It is a classic French high-performance compact sedan and the highest-tier Series Reward in Series 4.

Its key characteristics include a lightweight body, a rear-mounted engine, and a sport-oriented setup. Compared with the standard Renault 8, Gordini is much more focused on racing and performance driving.

2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5

This car is an open-frame race car based on Mazda MX-5 Miata, equipped with a Chevrolet LS3 V8 engine and an extremely high power-to-weight ratio. Cars of this type usually deliver very direct acceleration and handling feedback in Forza Horizon 6.

This is the 20-point Summer reward for Series 4 and is also one of the new additions to FH6.

1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster

1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster is one of the early representatives of Japanese sports convertibles, primarily competing with lightweight roadsters from Britain and Europe at the time.

It features a 2.0L four-cylinder engine with an initial PI of 323 PI (D class), which isn't particularly outstanding in racing. However, it's a typical collector's car, suitable for players who appreciate classic Japanese sports cars.

2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the final model of the 6th-generation Camaro and has no successor. It was equipped with a 650-horsepower supercharged V8 engine.

This Camaro ZL1 is also another new addition to FH6 in Series 4. It starts at S1-class 718 PI and delivers 650 horsepower.

2016 Abarth 695 Biposto

This is a track-focused compact performance car based on Fiat 500. Biposto means two-seater in Italian, so this car has no rear seats. It underwent extensive weight reduction and performance enhancements, resulting in an extremely compact body with highly agile handling.

1974 Toyota Celica GT

The first-generation Celica was a very important classic sports model for Toyota, and 1974 Celica GT is one of the early versions. It represents the typical style of Japanese sports cars from the 1970s, with a lightweight body, front-engine rear-wheel drive, and a classic Japanese coupe design.

This classic Japanese car is also more valuable as a collector's piece. Its acceleration and braking are clear weaknesses, making it difficult to compete in intense races.

1989 Toyota MR2 SC

1989 Toyota MR2 SC was one of the first mass-produced Japanese cars with a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This gives it a clear distinction from conventional Japanese sports cars with front-mounted engines.

1989 MR2 SC is already available in FH6, but it returns as a Festival Playlist Reward in Series 4. Purely in terms of driving layout, it may be one of the most interesting cars to experience among this batch of rewards.

1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R

This Starion ESI-R is another new addition to FH6 in Series 4. It was Mitsubishi's final rear-wheel-drive turbocharged sports car, featuring a 2.6L turbocharged engine. Introduced in the 1980s, the ESI-R was the high-performance version.

1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R may be one of the most anticipated cars in FH6 Series 4 Festival Playlist. It offers solid speed while also fitting perfectly with Horizon's Japanese theme.

1968 Dodge Dart HEMI Super Stock

This is the reward for the final week of Series 4. Its role is completely different from that of the standard Dodge Dart. 1968 Dodge Super Stock is clearly more focused on straight-line acceleration and drag racing. It is powered by a HEMI V8 and is a classic American muscle car built specifically for drag racing.

Is Series 4 Festival Playlist Good Enough?

To be honest, Series 4 Festival Playlist only just passes the bar and can even feel somewhat lacking insincerity. Only three of the 10 cars are brand-new additions to the game, while most of the others are returning cars.

2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, for example, is only a refreshed version of an existing model, so it does not bring much novelty. However, if you prefer classic cars, models such as the 1970 Honda N600 and 1967 Renault 8 Gordini can still satisfy that nostalgic appeal.

As a major content update for Forza Horizon 6, Series 4 has yet to receive an official announcement. However, reliable leaks have revealed its release date and content design, allowing for some reasonable predictions.

Series 4 brings FH6's focus back to Japanese automotive and pop culture, making it a content-rich season update.

Timing and Deployment Arrangements

Series 4 deployment will be divided into two phases: content patch release and the official season launch. The approximately 14GB update files are expected to be pushed to all platforms on August 11th at 17:00 (UTC), primarily for preloading new resources, fixing stability issues, and optimizing some tracks.

The actual season will begin on August 13th at 14:30 (UTC), at which time Festival Playlist will also be updated, and all new cars and events will be officially unlocked.

While Forza Horizon 6 Series 4 isn't released yet, players should check their hard drive space to ensure they have at least 14GB of free room to avoid affecting automatic game updates.

Also, pay close attention to the official patch notes released before the update to better understand the specific fixes for Series 4.

Main Gameplay

Mascot Party Theme

Since the core theme of Forza Horizon 6 Series 4, Mascot Party, revolves around the unique local mascot culture of various regions of Japan, after this update goes live, we'll see over 200 collectible mascots scattered across the entire map of Japan.

These mascots are modeled after representative characters and foods from traditional Japanese culture, including Edamame, rice balls, and sweet mochi dumplings. Players will need to find and smash these collectibles in various corners of the map: city streets, village shrines, and coastal roads.

Rewards

If players successfully collect all 200 mascots in Series 4, they will receive a massive reward of 1,000,000 Forza Horizon 6 credits - enough for most players to unlock a rare vehicle.

During the collection process, players will also unlock various fun cosmetic rewards, including giant mascot headgear masks and themed horn sound effects, all of which can be displayed in Horizon Life multiplayer mode.

In addition, many players in the community and online have shared complete mascot location guides and interactive maps for reference, so you can plan your routes in advance to maximize your collection efficiency in Series 4.

Evolving World Time Attack

The most significant new content in FH6 Series 4 is undoubtedly Evolving World Time Attack mode.

While the game already has a Rivals leaderboard system, Time Attack introduces a dynamic sandbox-style timed challenge mechanism.

Throughout the four seasons of Series 4, specific Japanese road tracks, city streets, and distinctive mountain roads will be transformed into dedicated time trial arenas, waiting for your challenge!

These time trial events feature protective barriers made from stacked tires, optimized racing line markings, and weekly changing local weather patterns.

Racing conditions will also dynamically evolve, including real-time changes in atmospheric conditions such as fog density, road surface moisture, and wind speed.

As a challenge, FH6 will naturally provide players with leaderboards, allowing them to compete for rankings globally or within their own clubs.

Achieving excellent results in time trials will also earn you substantial FH6 credits, rare Wheelpins, and unique in-game player badges.

Regarding this new gameplay, we might also speculate that this could be a technical prelude to a larger expansion expected later this year, meaning the significance of FH6 Series 4 update may extend beyond the current season's content.

Are there any new cars?

Given the immense attention Series 4 has garnered, its vehicle lineup is unlikely to disappoint.

According to reliable leaks, Series 4 will focus on introducing a number of classic and modified Japanese domestic market models that have been eagerly awaited by the player community. The following are currently known vehicles:

• 2026 Toyota GR Prius
• 1998 Suzuki Cappuccino (Custom Widebody)
• 2024 Honda Civic Type R (FL5) Mugen
• 2025 Mazda Spirit Racing 3 Concept
• 1992 Autozam AZ-1 (Mascot Edition)
• Toyota Chaser Tourer V (JZX100)
• Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) NISMO 400R

Specifically, the 2026 Toyota GR Prius should be obtained as a reward for completing Series 4 (accumulating 80 points).

1998 Suzuki Cappuccino (Custom Widebody), 2024 Honda Civic Type R (FL5) Mugen, 2025 Mazda Spirit Racing 3 Concept, and 1992 Autozam AZ-1 (Mascot Edition) correspond to the weekly rewards of the summer, fall, winter, and spring seasons, respectively, requiring 20 or 40 points to unlock.

The other two are highly anticipated heavyweight models - Toyota Chaser Tourer V (JZX100) and Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33) NISMO 400R - one a mainstay of the Japanese rear-wheel-drive drift scene, the other one of the rarest production models in Skyline family, boasting a legendary 400 horsepower.

All of these vehicles require accumulating points by completing the weekly Festival Playlist challenges in Forza Horizon 6. Therefore, players should plan their weekly playtime wisely, prioritizing higher-difficulty challenges to ensure they don't miss out on their desired vehicles!

Another noteworthy point is that if you lack any resources in Series 4, you can visit IGGM Forza Horizon 6 store and order your desired products. Accumulating points allows you to redeem IGGM Coupons for even more future discounts!

However, please remember to register and log in first to earn valid points according to the points rules.

Overall, Forza Horizon 6 Series 4 is far more than just a simple content update; it's a major update meticulously crafted from theme design to gameplay.

Therefore, whether you're a casual player who enjoys exploration and collecting, a time trial expert pursuing extreme lap times, or an enthusiast obsessed with classic JDM performance cars, you can find your own goals and enjoyment in Series 4.

We wish you all a fantastic time playing Forza Horizon 6 Series 4!
