Forza Horizon 6's City Life update brings fresh Tokyo street races, five Festival Playlist cars, customizable IKEA furniture, and special Xbox and Halo rewards.

Forza Horizon 6 is embracing the energy of city living with its latest City Life update, bringing new racing routes, fresh vehicles, and plenty of customization options to Horizon Japan. Players can explore two permanent race routes in Tokyo City, decorate their garages with IKEA-inspired furniture, and unlock new cars through the Festival Playlist.

The update also introduces improvements based on community feedback, making seasonal rewards more accessible while celebrating 25 years of Xbox and Halo.

City Life introduces two permanent racing routes to Tokyo City:

• Edo Circuit Road Race
• Shuto Charge Street Race

Both routes expand the urban racing experience, giving players more opportunities to explore Tokyo's streets and test their driving skills.

The update also brings back the Edamame Time Attack Circuit to Horizon Stadium. Originally introduced during the Horizon Mascot Party update in Series 4, the circuit returns for another round of time-trial challenges.

Garage customization gets a major upgrade through the new IKEA Prop Pack, featuring 35 furniture and decorative items inspired by the Swedish retailer's gaming-themed collection.

Players can transform their Custom Garages with everything from colorful lighting and comfortable seating to practical storage solutions.

Highlights include:

• YXSTABY gaming furniture, including a lounge chair, controller displays, and thumb-stick stools.
• VARMBLIXT lamps in multiple colors.
• BROR shelving units and trolley.
• KALLAX shelving units in black, white, and walnut finishes.
• BILLY bookcases in three color options.
• LACK coffee tables in different finishes.
• SANELA cushions in six colors.
• IKEA PS 2026 Uplighter and FRAKTA carrier bag.

With 35 props available, players have plenty of room to create a garage that feels more like a personalized gaming space than a traditional showroom.

The City Life Festival Playlist introduces three vehicles making their Horizon debut, alongside two returning favorites.

The new additions include the 2016 Honda S660 Alpha, 2025 Citroën Ami, and 1987 Fiat Panda. Players can also unlock the 2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde and 1966 Hillman Imp.

• Engine: 0.66L
• Horsepower: 63 hp
• Torque: 77 ft-lb
• Class: D 393
• Drivetrain: RWD

This compact kei sports car delivers a surprisingly exciting driving experience. Its mid-engine layout, lightweight construction, and sports body kit make it an appealing choice for technical routes where precision and handling matter more than outright power.

2025 Citroën Ami

Unlock: 15 Summer Season Points | November 5 – November 12

• Horsepower: 8 hp
• Torque: 29.5 ft-lb
• Class: D 100

The tiny electric Citroën Ami brings a playful personality to Horizon Japan. Its compact proportions, friendly front design, and distinctive wheel covers make it one of the more unusual additions to the Festival Playlist.

1987 Fiat Panda

Unlock: 15 Winter Season Points | November 19 – November 26

• Engine: 1.00L
• Horsepower: 50 hp
• Torque: 56 ft-lb
• Class: D 141

The classic Fiat Panda focuses on practicality and charm rather than high-performance numbers. Its recognizable boxy styling and spacious interior make it a fun addition for players who appreciate classic everyday vehicles.

2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde

Unlock: 15 Autumn Season Points | November 12 – November 19

• Engine: Turbocharged inline-four
• Horsepower: 231 hp
• Torque: 251 lb-ft
• Class: C 498

As the most powerful version of Alfa Romeo's Giulietta hatchback, this model combines distinctive Italian styling with sporty performance. Its signature grille, rear spoiler, dual exhausts, and bucket seats give it plenty of character.

1966 Hillman Imp

Unlock: 15 Spring Season Points | November 26 – December 3

• Engine: 0.8L inline-four
• Horsepower: 55 hp
• Torque: 56 lb-ft
• Class: D 244

This small British classic proves that memorable driving experiences do not always require powerful engines. Its rear-mounted engine creates additional front storage space while maintaining a surprisingly practical interior.

City Life also joins the celebration of Xbox and Halo's 25th anniversary with two special rewards.

All players will receive an exclusive Halo-themed livery for the 2025 GR GT Prototype through the in-game Message Center.

Meanwhile, the Master Chief Outfit can be unlocked by completing the Week 2 Photo Challenge in the Festival Playlist.

Players can also collect the Tower Power Badge, along with three themed car horns:

• Pedestrian Crossing Chirp
• Keyboard Typing
• Pedestrian Crossing Cuckoo

Week 2 also features a collectible challenge requiring players to find 15 Gashapon Machines at Daikoku. Completing it rewards the Halo Shield Recharge Car Horn.

One of the most player-friendly changes in City Life is a reduction in the number of Festival Playlist Points required to unlock new cars.

The adjustment follows community feedback and aims to make vehicle rewards more accessible, particularly for players without access to the game's online content.

The update also introduces a new Garage and Autoshow filter that highlights vehicle restrictions for active Festival Playlist events. Players can check which cars meet specific requirements before purchasing or selecting a vehicle.

Other improvements include:

• Solo Seasonal Championships now follow the player's selected difficulty.
• Fixed a sticker-placement issue affecting the windshield banner of the 1990 Nissan #12 Skyline GT-R (BNR32 Gr.A) JTC.
• Retroactive points will be awarded for certain Daily and Weekly Challenges from previous Festival Playlist weeks to eligible players who were unable to complete them.

There is one significant change that competitive players should know about. The Series 7 update fixes several exploits that allowed unrealistic scores to be recorded in PR Stunt events.

As a result, the PR Stunt Leaderboards will be completely wiped, covering:

• Danger Signs
• Drift Zones
• Speed Zones
• Trailblazers
• Speed Traps

Although legitimate records will also be removed from the leaderboards, players will keep any previously earned Collection Journal items associated with their PR Stunt achievements.

The reset is intended to give everyone a fair starting point moving forward.

The Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass continues to expand the vehicle collection with 30 additional cars delivered weekly. Four upcoming additions are scheduled for the City Life series.
