Playground Games has revealed the first update roadmap for Forza Horizon 6, outlining multiple content updates, new vehicles, and development plans for two expansion packs through 2027. The first major update will go live on December 31, with the first expansion pack scheduled for release on January 21.
The first item on the roadmap is the "Legendary Explorer" update, launching on December 31, which will introduce five reward vehicles: the 2005 Subaru Forester STi, the 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness, the 2024 Lexus GX 550 Overtrail, the 2007 Toyota Hilux Arctic Trucks AT38, and the 1973 Land Rover Range Rover.
This update also includes two other special vehicles: the 1965 Datsun Baby will be released as a Treasure Hunt car, and the 1968 Renault 4L Export will be a Playlist history reward.
This update will also add permanent content, including the Marathon Street Race event and the Legendary Island mascot.
The next major milestone is January 21, when Playground Games will simultaneously launch the first expansion pack and the "Supercars & Tuners" themed update. Official details about the expansion pack have not been disclosed, with the roadmap only marking this content as "to be announced."
The "Supercars & Tuners" update will add five more reward vehicles:
1992 Honda Civic SiR-II
1986 Toyota Corolla GT-S "Levin"
1991 Holden HSV Commodore Group A SV
2013 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
2010 Ferrari 599 GTO
This update also plans to add a brand-new radio station, but Playground Games has not yet revealed further details.
Forza Horizon 6's subsequent update schedule includes another version update on February 25. The theme for this series has not been announced, but officials have confirmed it will feature three new reward cars and two returning classic models.
Additionally, the Auto Show will add 15 fan-favorite returning classic cars, along with a new vehicle pack. This update will introduce a permanent Drift Challenge site, and the Event Lab will add two new prop packs, focusing on drift themes and architecture themes respectively.
In longer-term planning, Playground Games has confirmed that the second expansion pack will launch within 2027, though a specific release date has not yet been announced.
The development team also plans a major overhaul of the festival playlist, with a key change being that reward vehicles will become permanently unlockable, no longer tied to limited-time acquisition rules. Future updates will add more tracks and other features, with more details to be announced later.
