Forza Horizon 6 Achievement List Revealed Ahead of May 2026 Launch

With Forza Horizon 6 set to release on May 19, anticipation has reached a new high as the game’s complete achievement list has surfaced via an official webpage. Spanning 57 achievements worth a combined 1,000 Gamerscore, the list offers the most detailed look yet at how the game is structured and quietly confirms several things fans have been speculating about for months.

The single most significant detail buried within the achievement descriptions is the game’s location. Titles such as “Welcome To Japan,” “Tokyo Resident,” and “White Ghost”  the latter tied to completing five Touge battles leave little doubt that Forza Horizon 6 is heading to Japan. It would be the series’ first visit to the country, trading the sweeping landscapes of previous entries for mountain passes, urban circuits, and a setting steeped in Japanese car culture.

The achievement “Tokyo Resident” requires players to complete 33 activities within the Tokyo City Region alone, suggesting the capital is one of the game’s more content-dense areas. Meanwhile, Touge battles the discipline of racing down winding mountain roads that form a cornerstone of Japanese motorsport folklore, appearing multiple times across the list, pointing to a genuine effort to honour that culture rather than merely reference it.

The Horizon Festival Progression Returns

The familiar Horizon Festival wristband ladder makes its return, forming the spine of the game’s main progression. Players begin by earning a Yellow Wristband and work their way through Green, Blue, Pink, Orange, and Purple before reaching the coveted Gold Wristband and the “Horizon Legend” title  the game’s highest honour. Each tier carries a heavier Gamerscore reward, with the Gold Wristband alone worth 50 points, reflecting the significant time investment required to reach it.

Running in parallel is the Collection Journal stamp system, which follows an identical colour structure from Yellow through to Gold. Completing both ladders in full will demand comprehensive engagement with almost every corner of the game.

Exploration, Collection, and Destruction

A substantial portion of the achievement list is dedicated to exploration and world interaction. Players are tasked with revealing the entire map, discovering all 10 regions, finding 10 landmarks, and completing dozens of activities across distinct areas. The achievement “The Horizon Cartographer,” awarded for uncovering the full map, carries a 50-point value  a clear signal that exploration is treated as a major pillar of the experience.

Collection goals are equally prominent. Players must gather 100 unique vehicles, track down nine Treasure Cars hidden across the world, purchase cars from the Autoshow and the aftermarket, and display three cars in their garage simultaneously. A specific achievement even challenges players to park the 2025 GR GT Prototype at a car meet, suggesting the game will feature at least one significant modern Toyota as a headline vehicle.

Destruction-based objectives return in force. Smashing 200 Regional Mascots and 200 Bonus Boards are both listed, continuing a Horizon tradition that sends players off the beaten path in search of breakable collectables.

New Systems: LINK Skills and Horizon Rush

Two newly introduced mechanics appear in the achievement list. LINK Skills referenced in the achievement “Four Swords”  and Horizon Rush events, which appear in both “Carkour!” and “Feel The Rush,” point toward expanded cooperative or online-driven gameplay. While details on how these systems work have not been fully explained ahead of launch, their inclusion in the achievement structure suggests they are meaningful parts of the experience rather than peripheral additions.

Social features are also given notable weight. Players are rewarded for visiting other players’ estates, parking at three different car meets, and progressing through Horizon Play levels a multiplayer-facing ranking system that runs from its opening tiers all the way to level 100.

Showcase Events and Stories

Two named Showcase Events are confirmed through the list: “Mech My Day” and “Flight Club,” each worth 20 Gamerscore. Showcase Events have been a beloved feature of the series, traditionally pitting the player’s car against an unlikely opponent in a dramatic set-piece race. The names suggest at least one event involves some form of mechanical giant and another takes to the skies.

The Stories system returns as well, with players required to earn 81 stars across the full collection to unlock the “Storyteller” achievement. A separate Day Trip story chapter achievement requires earning three stars on any single chapter, implying a narrative-driven mission structure similar to those seen in previous entries.

What to Expect at Launch

Taken together, the achievement list sketches the outline of a game that is ambitious in scope while remaining faithful to what has made the series successful.

The Japan setting brings genuine freshness to a franchise that has visited Britain, Australia, Mexico, and the American Southwest, and the cultural touchstones embedded in the achievement descriptions, Touge races, Tokyo activities, and a landmark called the Irokawa Launch suggest the world has been built with care.

Whether Forza Horizon 6 ultimately breaks new ground or refines what already works will become clear once players are on track. With May 19 approaching, the wait is almost over.
