Forza Horizon 6 Series 7 City Life Patch Notes: Tokyo Race Routes, IKEA Props and a PR Stunt Wipe

Horizon Meets is over, and Forza Horizon 6 has moved into Series 7, City Life. Playground Games pushed the update on November 2, 2026 at 6:00 PM UTC for Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox app on PC and Steam. It's a city-focused series: two new permanent race routes through Tokyo, a big IKEA furniture pack for your Custom Garage, a fresh batch of engine swaps and a set of small, affordable cars as Festival Playlist rewards. It also brings a change many players asked for, as Playlist cars now cost fewer points to unlock.

Version numbers: 3.479.874.0 on Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox app on PC, and 1.479.874.0 on Steam.

TL;DR

• Two new permanent Tokyo race routes: the Edo Circuit Road Race and the Shuto Charge Street Race.
• IKEA Prop Pack: 35 new Custom Garage props, including KALLAX and BILLY shelves and LACK tables.
• A new set of engine swaps, for example a 4.7L V8 for Maserati's MC12, MC20 and Ghibli Cup, and an 8.4L V10 for the Ford GT and Ram 1500 TRX.
• Fewer Playlist points (PTS) needed to unlock reward cars.
• Every PR Stunt leaderboard has been wiped because of exploits. Your Collection Journal progress stays.
• The Festival Playlist runs November 5 (2:30 PM UTC) to December 3, with a Master Chief outfit and a Halo-themed horn for the Xbox and Halo 25th anniversary.

The biggest changes

Two permanent Tokyo routes

Series 7 adds two races to Tokyo City that stay in the game after the series ends: the Edo Circuit Road Race and the Shuto Charge Street Race. They're not timed Playlist events, so they'll stay on the city map for good.

IKEA Prop Pack and engine swaps

The Custom Garage gets 35 IKEA props. They include the YXSTABY, VARMBLIXT, BROR, KALLAX, BILLY, LACK, SANELA and FRAKTA lines plus an IKEA PS 2026 uplighter.

The tuning side gets a table of new engine swaps. Highlights include a 4.7L V8 for the Maserati MC12, MC20 and Ghibli Cup and an 8.4L V10 for the Ford GT and Ram 1500 TRX. That last one is exactly as silly as it sounds.

Festival Playlist: reward cars and dates

The Playlist starts on Thursday, November 5 and runs through December 3. Fittingly for City Life, most rewards are small city cars, and three of them are new to Horizon: the Honda S660, the Citroën Ami and the FIAT Panda. The S660 and Ami also come with body kits.

The Car Pass continues every Thursday: the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD (November 5), 2025 Volkswagen Electric Buzz (November 12), 1983 Nissan 240RS (November 19) and 2025 Porsche Macan GTS (November 26).

Limited-time content and the Xbox/Halo 25th anniversary

• Gashapon Machine collectibles are back, along with the Edamame Time Attack Circuit, first seen in Series 4.
• Master Chief Outfit: unlocked through the Week 2 Photo Challenge.
• Halo Shield Recharge horn: find 15 Gashapon collectibles at Daikoku in Week 2.
• "25 Years of XBOX and Halo" livery for the 2025 GR GT Prototype, sent to every player through the Message Center.
• Also in the series: the Tower Power badge, a RingRing emote and three new horns (Keyboard Typing, Pedestrian Crossing Chirp and Pedestrian Crossing Cuckoo).

Balance and quality-of-life changes

• Cheaper Playlist unlocks. Playground lowered the PTS needed for Playlist reward cars after community feedback, which should make it easier for players with less time to finish a series.
• PR Stunt leaderboards reset. All of them, because of exploits. If you held a top spot, it's gone, but the Collection Journal unlocks you earned remain.
• Ginetta G40 Junior brought back in line. It was overperforming across several PI classes.
• New Autoshow and Garage filter that shows which cars are eligible for the current Playlist.
• Seasonal Championships: solo runs now use the difficulty you picked, and Co-op Seasonal difficulty has been raised.
• The Bridge Underpasses Trailblazer threshold has been adjusted.
• Convoy members now appear at Custom Estates, and map discovery can now reach 100%.

Bug fixes worth knowing

• Retroactive points have been given for Series 6 Week 1 Daily Challenge #7. Missing points for Series 5 Week 4's Weekly Challenge (part 3) can be claimed from the Playlist History tab.
• Eight car fixes, including the Ferrari 488 Pista's gauges, the Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro's brake calipers, a typo on the McLaren W1's dashboard and the Saleen S7's badge.

The official notes don't list any known issues for this update.

What it means for players

City Life is a mid-sized series, but it fixes a few real pain points. The lower PTS requirements and the new Playlist filter make the weekly grind lighter, and the two permanent routes give Tokyo more lasting value than a one-month event would. The PR Stunt wipe will sting for leaderboard hunters, but it should make the boards worth chasing again.

Looking ahead, Playground says December brings Horizon Holidays, with Evolving World changes, another permanent race route and three more new-to-Horizon cars. The first expansion follows on January 21, 2027, with day-one access through the Premium Edition or Premium Upgrade. The PlayStation 5 version launches on January 26, 2027, with Premium Early Access starting January 21.
