Forza Horizon 6 Series 6 Winter Playlist Guide: Rewards and Challenges

The Series 6 Winter Playlist in Forza Horizon 6 runs from October 22 to October 29, 2026, bringing new seasonal challenges, collectible cars, and rewards to earn. Whether you're working toward the week's exclusive vehicles or looking for extra Credits, there are several activities worth completing before the next seasonal reset.

The two main rewards are the 2004 Saleen S7 and the 1986 Audi #2 Audi Sport quattro S1. The playlist also features a Treasure Hunt worth 100,000 Credits, a Photo Challenge, seasonal championships, and daily objectives that help you earn Festival Playlist Points.

Here's how to make the most of this week's activities.

Series 6 Winter Playlist Rewards

Two cars headline the Winter Playlist, with each requiring a different number of Festival Playlist Points.

2004 Saleen S7

The 2004 Saleen S7 is the first major reward, available after earning 20 points. Its mid-engine layout and distinctive supercar design make it an appealing addition for players who enjoy high-performance road cars.

If you're short on time, focus on reaching this milestone first. Completing the weekly challenge, Photo Challenge, and suitable seasonal events is a practical way to build up your points.

1986 Audi #2 Audi Sport quattro S1

The second reward requires 40 points and features one of Audi's most recognizable rally cars. The Audi Sport quattro S1 is closely associated with the Group B era, making it a desirable addition for players who enjoy classic rally machinery.

You don't need to complete every event to reach the target. Check your current point total and prioritize the activities that are easiest to finish with the cars you already own.

Weekly Challenge: Strictly for Fun

This week's Strictly for Fun challenge features the 1991 Honda Beat. Its objectives combine driving skills, a visit to a Car Meet, and laps at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit.

The challenge requires you to:

• Drive the 1991 Honda Beat.
• Earn three stars at Danger Signs.
• Park at a Car Meet.
• Complete two laps at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit.

Make sure you select the correct Honda before starting. Using another vehicle may prevent the relevant objectives from registering.

How to Complete the Challenge

Start by taking the Honda Beat to a suitable Danger Sign. Build up speed on the approach and keep the car as straight as possible over the ramp. If you fail to earn three stars, try a cleaner run before spending FH6 Credits on upgrades.

Next, visit a Car Meet and park in the designated area. This should be a relatively quick objective, so there's little reason to leave it until the end.

The final task requires two laps at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit. Focus on clean cornering and consistent braking rather than trying to set a record on every turn. Maintaining control through corners will help you complete both laps without unnecessary mistakes.

Treasure Hunt: Sotoyama Region

The Winter Treasure Hunt takes players to the Sotoyama Region, with a Photo Clue providing the main hint. Completing the activity rewards you with 100,000 Credits.

Open the Festival Playlist and inspect the clue before heading into the region. Use the image to identify the relevant area, then search for the treasure chest. Once you've located it, drive into the chest to collect your reward.

The 100,000 Credits can go toward a new car, performance upgrades, or adjustments to an existing build. For players who would rather spend their time driving than grinding races, this is an activity worth prioritizing.

Make sure you use the current Winter clue rather than a location guide from an earlier season, as Treasure Hunt objectives can change between playlists.

Photo Challenge: #PolarisPoint

The #PolarisPoint Photo Challenge asks you to photograph a Polaris vehicle at the Irokawa Space Center. Completing it rewards a pair of All-White Techwear Boots and contributes to your seasonal progress.

To finish the challenge, select a Polaris vehicle from your garage and drive to the Irokawa Space Center. Open Photo Mode, frame the vehicle, and take the picture. Check the Festival Playlist afterward to confirm that the game has registered the objective.

If it doesn't count, double-check the vehicle manufacturer and your location. Both requirements matter, so taking a picture of the right car somewhere else may not complete the challenge.

This is a good task to finish early because it doesn't require winning a race or meeting a demanding performance target.

Seasonal Championships and Their Rewards

The Winter Playlist includes three championships, each with its own vehicle restrictions and reward.

Touring the Sights features road events at Coastline Sprint, Irokawa Circuit, and Shimanoyama Sprint. Daily Exercise includes street races at Nachi Run, Cedar Run, and Okishinaimura Run. Hitting Your A Game takes players off-road for cross-country events at Izu Cross Country, Stadium Cross Country Circuit, and Yahikoyama Cross Country.

Before entering a championship, check the required car category and performance class. A vehicle that exceeds the permitted class may not qualify, while an unsuitable setup can make certain events harder than necessary.

If you already have a competitive car for one of these categories, completing that championship can be an efficient way to earn more points while picking up an additional reward.

PR Stunts and Other Events

Players who prefer shorter activities have several alternatives to full championships. This week's playlist includes a Danger Sign at Alpine Heights, a Speed Trap at Konbini Dash, a Time Attack event at Hokubu, and a Drag Meet at Irokawa Quarter Mile.

These activities suit different driving styles. PR stunts reward players who can build speed and choose the right approach, while Time Attack is more about consistent lap times and clean racing lines.

The Trial, titled Full Send, is another option for players who enjoy online competition. It uses Subaru vehicles in the B class, so check your garage before entering. In a team event, staying on the track and avoiding unnecessary collisions can be just as important as outright speed.

You don't need to tackle every activity in one session. Choose the events that fit your available time and return to the remaining challenges before the season ends.

Daily Challenges and Festival Playlist Points

Daily challenges offer another way to build your seasonal score. The Winter schedule includes the following objectives:

Each completed daily challenge rewards 5,000 Credits and one Festival Playlist Point.

Since daily objectives become available throughout the week, check the playlist regularly instead of leaving them all until the final day. Even a few quick challenges can help you reach the next reward milestone.

The Best Way to Complete the Winter Playlist

If your main goal is to unlock both reward cars, start with the activities you can finish quickly. The Photo Challenge and Treasure Hunt are good early targets, followed by the weekly challenge and any suitable seasonal events.

Next, check which championships match the vehicles in your garage. This helps avoid spending Credits on cars you may only use once. If you need to purchase or upgrade a vehicle, consider whether the additional reward justifies the expense.

Daily challenges are worth completing as they become available. They provide extra points without requiring you to commit to a long series of races, and those points can make a difference when you're close to the 20-point or 40-point milestone.

Keep an eye on your Festival Playlist progress throughout the week. With the Winter season ending on October 29, leaving everything until the last minute could mean missing out on one of the reward cars.

The Series 6 Winter Playlist offers a solid mix of car rewards, Forza Horizon 6 Credits, cosmetics, and driving challenges. The Saleen S7 is the first target at 20 points, while the Audi Sport quattro S1 gives collectors a reason to push toward 40.

The Treasure Hunt is particularly attractive if you need extra Credits, and the Photo Challenge provides another opportunity to make progress without competing in a race. Meanwhile, the seasonal championships offer additional cars for players willing to spend more time behind the wheel.

For the most efficient run, complete the easier objectives first, choose championships that suit your existing garage, and collect daily points as they become available.
