Forza Horizon 6 achievement list and Gamerscore breakdown

All Things How April 18, 2026
Source

Forza Horizon 6 ships with 57 achievements totaling 1,000 Gamerscore, shared across the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox Cloud, and PC releases. The Steam version carries the same list but tracks separately from your Xbox profile. Notably, there are no achievements tied to The Eliminator or Hide & Seek at launch, and the old "drive every road" requirement is gone.

๐ŸŽฎ

Quick answer: 57 achievements, 1,000 Gamerscore. The biggest single unlocks are Horizon Legend (Gold Wristband), Master Explorer (Gold Stamp), and The Horizon Cartographer (reveal the map) at 50G each.


How the list is structured

Progression runs along two color-coded tracks. Wristbands mark your standing at the Horizon Festival itself, climbing from Yellow to Gold. Stamps fill in your Collection Journal as you explore Japan and participate in side activities, also ending at Gold. Each color tier on both tracks has its own achievement, which is why a large chunk of the list is dedicated to progression milestones.

The rest of the achievements cover one-off firsts (your first Job, Touge Battle, Qualifier, race win), collectibles (Treasure Cars, Bonus Boards, Regional Mascots, Landmarks), and specific events like the Mech My Day and Flight Club showcases. A handful are tied to single regions, such as Tokyo City activities and Ohtani PR Stunts.

Horizon Festival Wristbands

The Wristband chain is the spine of the achievement list. You earn each color by advancing through the festival's ranking system, and the Gamerscore per tier scales with how far you've come.

Achievement Wristband Gamerscore
Welcome To Horizon Yellow 10
Festival Fan Green 10
Making Waves Blue 10
What, Like It's Hard? Pink 20
Orange You Glad You Made It? Orange 20
In The Spotlight Purple 30
Horizon Legend Gold 50

Collection Journal Stamps

Stamps reward exploration and journal completion. They mirror the Wristband color ladder and top out with Master Explorer for the Gold Stamp.

Achievement Stamp Gamerscore
Stamping Ground Yellow 10
Seeing the Sights Green 10
Travelling All Around Blue 10
Making Your Own Path Pink 20
Hey! Listen! Orange 20
What An Adventure! Purple 30

Story, Jobs, and early-game firsts

A cluster of 10G achievements triggers naturally during the opening hours. Completing The Opening Act, your first Job, your first Touge Battle, your first Qualifier, and winning your first Horizon Festival race will each pop without deliberate effort.

Achievement Requirement Gamerscore
Welcome To Japan Complete The Opening Act 10
Working 9 to 5 Complete your first Job 10
The Boss Earn the maximum Promotion in a Job 20
Just Getting Started Complete your first Touge Battle 10
White Ghost Complete 5 Touge Battles 20
First of Many Complete your first Qualifier 10
On The Board Win your first Horizon Festival Race Event 10
Racing Aficionado Win 57 Horizon Festival Race Events 30
Dedicated Tourist Earn 3 Stars on any Day Trip Story Chapter 10
Storyteller Earn 81 Stars from Stories 10

Jobs return after being absent from Forza Horizon 5. The Boss asks for a maximum Promotion in a single Job, so you only need to fully progress one of them rather than every business on the map.


Exploration and the map

The Horizon Cartographer replaces the old "drive every road" objective. Instead, the map uses a fog-of-war system that clears as you discover areas, and the achievement unlocks once the entire map is revealed. A progress percentage is tracked in-game, which avoids the hunt-for-one-missed-road problem from previous entries.

Achievement Requirement Gamerscore
The Horizon Cartographer Reveal the entire Map 50
Racking Up The Miles Discover all 10 regions 20
Pin It! Discover 10 Landmarks 10
Tokyo Resident Complete 33 activities in the Tokyo City Region 20
Crowd Pleaser Earn 36 Stars from PR Stunts in the Ohtani Region 20
To The Moon Earn at least 1 Star at the Irokawa Launch Danger Sign 10

Collectibles and smashables

The map includes 200 Bonus Boards and 200 Regional Mascots to destroy. Treasure Cars are the new name used in the achievement list, and Playground has confirmed Barn Finds will still exist as a separate, distinct feature in-game, so don't assume the two terms are interchangeable.

Achievement Requirement Gamerscore
Smashscot Smash your first Regional Mascot 10
Gotta Smash 'em All Smash 200 Regional Mascots 30
A Few Splinters Is Nothing Smash 200 Bonus Boards 30
A Fine Addition To My Collection Discover and claim a Treasure Car 10
Treasure Hunter Discover and claim 9 Treasure Cars 30
Treasure Hunter (Chests) Find all Treasure Chests in a Festival Playlist Series 20

Note: Two achievements share the "Treasure Hunter" name but have different requirements โ€” one for Treasure Cars, one for Treasure Chests inside a Festival Playlist Series.


Cars, garage, and player house

Car-focused achievements span purchasing, parking, and collecting. Collector at 100 different cars is the biggest grind here, so holding onto vehicles rather than selling duplicates pays off later.

Achievement Requirement Gamerscore
First Love Purchase a car from the Autoshow 10
Bargain Hunt Purchase an Aftermarket Car 10
Collector Collect 100 different cars 20
A Whole New World Drive any R Class car 10
Show Me What You've Got! Display 3 different cars in your Garage at the same time 10
Blank Slate Purchase the Yashiki Player House 10
All Eyes On You Park the 2025 GR GT Prototype at a Car Meet 10
Parking All Over The World Park at 3 different Car Meets 10

Events, showcases, and racing modes

The two confirmed Showcase Events both have their own achievements, and three Horizon Rush events cover Carkour! and Feel The Rush. Time Attack is split into a generic lap-time version and a Track Toy-specific version for players who want both pops on the same circuit run.

Achievement Requirement Gamerscore
Meching My Way Downtown Complete the Mech My Day Showcase Event 20
Ascending New Heights Complete the Flight Club Showcase Event 20
Carkour! Complete a Horizon Rush 10
Feel The Rush Complete 3 Horizon Rush Events 20
Another Lap Won't Hurt Set a lap time at a Time Attack Circuit 10
Track Day Set a lap time at a Time Attack Circuit while driving any Track Toy 10
Fresh Tire Smoke Complete a Drag Meet 10
Even Playing Field Complete a Race Event within a Spec Racing Championship 10
Four Swords Complete a LINK Skill 10

Horizon Play, Playlist, and multiplayer touches

Horizon Play is the progression meter used for seasonal play. Maxed Out requires 100 levels in Horizon Play, and Played-List asks for all Festival Playlist points in a single season rather than a full four-season series โ€” a significantly lighter ask than Min, Meet Max from Forza Horizon 5. Historic Effort covers a Series History reward, which unlocks for completing all four seasons of a Playlist Series.

Achievement Requirement Gamerscore
Ready to Rumble Earn 10 levels in Horizon Play 10
Maxed Out Earn 100 levels in Horizon Play 30
Played-List Earn all Festival Playlist points for a season 30
Historic Effort Earn a Series History reward 30
What Are You Doing In My Estate? Visit another player's Estate 10

Multiplayer obligations are minimal. Visiting another player's Estate and leveling Horizon Play are the only entries that really touch online play, and there's nothing forcing you into competitive racing lobbies for 100 percent completion.

What's not on the list

The Eliminator and Hide & Seek are both confirmed to return to the game, but neither mode has a launch achievement attached. That pattern matches Forza Horizon 5, where Hide & Seek arrived as a later live update with its own achievements bolted on, so additional Gamerscore may appear in post-launch content rather than the base 1,000.

Also absent: a full-series Festival Playlist requirement, a drive-every-road objective, and anything tied to EventLab creation. The result is a cleaner base list with fewer time-gated or RNG-heavy entries than in the previous game.


Gamerscore distribution

Gamerscore value Count Subtotal
10G 31 310
20G 13 260
30G 10 300
50G 3 150
Total 57 1,000

Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, for Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Premium Edition early access from May 15. The achievements above apply to both the Xbox and Steam releases at launch, with a PlayStation 5 version following later in the year, carrying the equivalent trophies.
