Forza Horizon 6 has been released to the world, and while there are hours of content to enjoy, it’s only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come, with the Festival Playlist Series 1 on the horizon.
The Welcome to Japan Series in Forza Horizon 6 introduces new content to the game, with further drops every week, transitioning Forza Horizon 6 into a full live-service title, with no shortage of things to do.
If you want to know exactly what’s coming to Forza Horizon 6 in Series 1: Welcome to Japan, Insider Gaming has you covered.
When Does Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist Series 1 Start?

The Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist schedule begins with Series 1, Welcome to Japan, which kicks off on May 21.
This means that the initial days of the game, including the early access period for those who purchased the Premium Edition of Forza Horizon 6, won’t have a Playlist Series to work through at first. However, the schedule will then open up with full weekly content.
Series 1’s Welcome to Japan is followed by Series 2, Horizon Decades, which kicks off once the full seasonal schedule has been wrapped up.
