Before that, developer Playground Games released the Series 4 update right at the start of the week on Monday, which includes further bug fixes and, for example, fixes the issue where buying a car at “Car Meet” also unlocked a paint job or where thumbnails of cars with custom paint jobs did not load.
Also fixed was an issue where after receiving a new “Car Pass” car, a popup notification appeared stating “Garage full,” with the game incorrectly indicating that no cars could be removed. Further improvements and revisions, including additional measures to improve program stability, can be found in the changelog.
New limited-time time trial track and EventLab props
To make FH6 accessible to as many people as possible, the current update now allows American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) to be enabled for cutscenes via the “Accessibility” menu.
To celebrate the Horizon Mascot Party, a new limited-time time trial track is added to the game for this series. On the mascot-themed “Edamame” time trial track, you can hunt for the fastest lap time on the leaderboard in the game with your favorite car of choice.
For those who like to get creative in FH6 and are fond of mascots, these have been added as props and can be used in EventLab events, customizable garages, and on the estate. Additionally, seasonal summer variants of the props have been added to the catalog.

Reward cars, badges, and a little more
The new Festival playlist also includes 10 new reward cars this time, including three appearing for the first time in a Horizon game. For all badge collectors, there is a shiny new badge for their profile. To earn it, you simply have to play Forza Horizon 6 while Series 3 is running.
The other rewards included in the Festival playlist are intended to give new players who have recently joined the Forza Horizon 6 community the opportunity to catch up and obtain some of the previously featured exclusive cars.
Badge collectors can unlock two new badges with the Mascot Badge and Shimanoyama Heat Badge. Additionally, there are two new car horns to get in Series 4: “Mascot” and “Fus-Roh-Dah!”.
