Forza Horizon 6 Achievement Guide & Roadmap

LINK Skill is triggered when you drive near another player and perform the same type of stunt that gives points at the top of the screen. For example, performing a “near miss” by driving in oncoming traffic with another player, or drifting at the same time. Any stunt that shows points at the top of the screen is considered a “Skill” and doing it at the same time as another player is a “Link Skill”. This only works with REAL players online, not against the AI Avatars you see offline. Just drive close to other players for a while until you get this. Another almost guaranteed way is to visit Horizon Stunt Parties, if you play online you will get an onscreen popup when they are available, and other players tend to perform a lot of skills there.

Day Trips get marked with big yellow car icons on the map. You can press on the map screen to filter for “Stories” specifically. The Day Trips are spread across different regions.

To get 3 stars you must fulfill the requirements displayed at the start of the event – beating a time requirement or completing speed zones with a certain average speed. If you want to make this very simple you can use the autodrive with and it should automatically get 3 stars on the time requirement events most of the time, but the ones involving speed zones you will typically need to drive yourself to get 3 stars.

See Maxed Out.

The 10 regions are (from south to north):

1. Nangan
2. Tokyo City
3. Shimanoyama
4. Ohtani
5. Minamino
6. Ito
7. Hokubu
8. Takashiro
9. Sotoyama
10. Legend Island – reached during final Horizon Festival event (Gold Wristband)

First, you must unlock the PR Stunts. New ones unlock on the map at each Horizon Wristband you reach (Yellow > Green > Blue > Pink > Orange > Purple > Gold). To unlock all PR Stunts in Ohtani you must first reach Purple Wristband from story progress, the second highest. So you can’t do this right away, it requires significant game progress. Even if you go to the PR Stunt icons they won’t be there until the required Wristband rank is reached.

Here’s the full map of the Ohtani PR Stunt events after reaching Purple Wristband (the red and white icons):

Touge Battle Locations:

#1 – Hakone Nanamagari

#2 – Bandai Azuma

#3 – Arashiyama Takao

#4 – Mt. Haruna

#5 – Norikura Skyline

Go to Creative Hub > Estates > click on any Estate > View Creative Hub > Visit Their Estate (bottom left). The achievement will pop immediately when you click on this. Note that some players may not have shared their Estates for visitations, so if the one you clicked doesn’t show the Visit option click on other ones.

Before you go on a buying spree, you can get many cars for free. Each Horizon Festival rewards a free car. You can also win many free Wheel Spins – go to “My Horizon” menu > Super Wheelspin (left) / Wheelspin (right). You earn Wheelspins as rewards from time to time.

Also check under Campaign > Collection Journal > click on both journals and press to redeem rewards Wristbands/Stamps. Some of these give cars outright as a reward and sometimes you earn Wheelspins for a chance to get a car or money.

Also grab the 9 Treasure Cars and 15 Barn Finds (however, Barn Finds are only available after increasing the Collection Journal stamps). While working on all other achievements you should get 50-80 cars for free. Then just buy the rest until the achievement unlocks.

You can track the progress for unique cars in your Badges under My Horizon > Badges > Campaign > Growing Collection (very bottom icon). Note that the “Cars Owned” it shows under “Cars” menu > below “Change Car” also counts duplicates and is therefore not reliable to keep track, so it’s better to check the Badge tracker for the unique count.

Car Meet Locations:

#1 – Daikoku Parking Area

#2 – Horizon Festival

#3 – Okuibuki

You can buy these from the Autoshow (Cars Menu > Buy New & Used Cars > Autoshow > press to filter for “R” Performance class). The cheapest one is the #23 Yokohama Alpha – 2020 Sierra Cars for 65,000 credits.

Go to Online > Horizon Play > Spec Racing. Now simply play through one of these events, you don’t need to win. Just participating and seeing the end screen of one single race will suffice. In this mode all cars have the exact same specs. The Championship typically consists of 3 races in a row, but you only need to participate in one single race of the three (not all three in a row). You can also join in-progress events and still earn the achievement. You don’t even need to finish the race, you can just stay at the start without driving at all, after the first person crosses the finish line the race will automatically end within 30 seconds. Even if you get a “Did not finish” you earn the achievement after the race.

Now drive it to any Car Meet (blue icons on map), park it in a parking spot and press the prompt that appears on the screen. You get a cutscene where you park your car and the achievement unlocks. There’s a Car Meet directly outside the Horizon Festival Site:

Now go to any Time Attack event and finish one lap. These get marked by blue icons on the map automatically as you increase your Horizon Festival Wristbands. On the map you can press to filter for these specifically.

After earning the Yellow Wristband you unlock the Festival Playlist. Go to Campaign > Festival Playlist (right side of menu). Each Season lasts 1 week real time (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring). When you scroll over the season, it shows how many total points you can get, indicated by the “Season Progress”. The red gem icon is the season points:

In the Seasons menu you can scroll to the right to see a list of objectives that give Season Points. You’ll need to do all of these for an entire Season (1 week). On the world map you can also press to filter for “Seasonal Events” (red icons). Be sure to work on these as soon as possible. You’ll also need to participate in Seasons for many weeks total to earn enough points for a History Reward for Historic Effort.

The fastest way to increase the Stamp rating is from Street Races, Touge Races, Story Events (yellow icons on map), Jobs (big blue icon in Tokyo City), buying houses, destroying the 200 Mascots.

You don’t need 100% completion for this, there is much more to do than required. Most content can actually be skipped, you only need a fraction of everything available in the “Discover Japan” menu. As you need all 81 Stars from Story Events anyway for Storyteller, it’s best to focus on that. Touge and Street Races also give a lot of progress toward the Stamps. Once you’ve unfogged the map you can fast travel from one Mascot to the next to destroy them all within a short time.

You absolutely don’t need 3 stars in all the Street Races & Touge Battles, so don’t worry if you only get 1-2 stars, it’s more efficient to move on to the next event instead of repeating the same one for a better star rating.

On the deliveries that only have a time limit you can use Autodrive with and it should get 2-3 stars most of the time. On the deliveries that require drifting or skill scores you’ll need to drive yourself as the Autodrive won’t function correctly.

On the map press to view the regions. Initially, you only have access to 9 regions. The 10th region “Legend Island” in the east of the map is only reachable at the end of the story, after reaching the end of the Horizon Festival storyline. You will automatically enter Legend Island as part of the final race for the Gold Wristband. To “reveal the entire map” you’ll want to drive around in each region until the fog goes away. You can track this by pressing on the map screen, hover over a region and at the bottom check “Region Discovered %”. If you unfogged the 9 main regions then the achievement will unlock just after the final story race when you drive around Legend Island a little bit.

Go to Online > Horizon Play > in the top left it shows your current online level, on the top right it shows your progress to the next level.

You only earn XP from participating in Horizon Online races. This is separate from your level in Singleplayer. What you do in Singleplayer in the open world won’t count towards this. It’s by far the grindiest achievement in the game and will take potentially hundreds of hours. You do get some XP even if you lose, but gain more if you win, so the time it will take is also somewhat skill-dependent.

After earning the Yellow Wristband you unlock the Festival Playlist. Go to Campaign > Festival Playlist (right side of menu) > History > Playlist History > check the total points required for the History Reward (red gem icon):

For example, the first History Reward costs 500 total Festival Playlist points. It will take multiple months to earn this. Each Series lasts 4 weeks, split into 4 x 1 week Seasons (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring). You should actively play each week to earn the maximum points in each Season. For example, the first Season/Week at the game’s launch has a cap of 45 points, but you can also earn 1 extra point a day from the Daily Challenges. Assuming you do the 45 points cap it would take 12 weeks (3 months) to earn this achievement (500 points / 45 per week = 11 weeks and 1 day).

In the Seasons menu you can scroll to the right to see a list of objectives that give points. On the world map you can also press to filter for “Seasonal Events” (red icons). Be sure to work on these as soon as possible and log in once a week to do them. You’ll also need to earn all points in one Season/Week for Played-List.

There are more than the 57 required, allowing you to skip a few. At each new Wristband level more races unlock the map. By the time you reach the Gold Wristband you will have more than enough races available.

Importantly, you must WIN them by placing 1st. You can make this very simple by playing on the easiest difficulty “Tourist” and using Autodrive ( ). Then your car drives on its own and always wins, without any button input by you.

There are 81 Stars total to be earned and you need all 81 for this achievement. This means you must get the maximum 3 stars on every single Story event. The star rating is based on how well you do. The requirements vary between events, they can be time requirements, maintaining an average speed, reaching a certain skill score etc. Each story event starts with a drive to the target where you switch into another car, followed by the portion that determines your star rating. What makes this a bit tricky is that you drive a predetermined car, so you can’t brute force it with your own supercars.

If you want to make this very simple you can use the autodrive with on the events with time requirements. Usually you will get an automatic 3 stars this way. However, on other events like Speed Zones and Skill Scores this won’t work as autodrive typically gets you only 2 stars, so those events you’ll want to drive yourself. At the end of the event where you get the star rating you can immediately click “Retry” if you got less than 3 stars. If you repeat the event later, you can click in the story select screen to skip to the challenge immediately without doing the whole drive again.

Also remember you can use the Rewind feature with if you made a mistake, it resets your time too and makes it significantly easier.
