Forza Horizon 6 Update Adds Cars, Routes, Props
Xbox Series X|S and PC players can now access new routes and cars, with four Car Pass cars limited to premium editions.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Performance Vehicles
Playground Games released Forza Horizon 6 update 3.479.874 on November 2, 2026, adding two permanent race routes, new engine swaps, an IKEA Prop Pack with 35 props, and ten Festival Playlist Reward Cars. The update is available to players on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Why it matters
For players who tune and collect cars in the game, the update changes how quickly new cars unlock and what content is available without extra purchase. The Car Pass cars are limited to the Car Pass, Deluxe, Premium, and Premium Upgrade Editions, so buyers of those tiers gain access to content that other editions do not include.
The patch adds 35 new IKEA props, 10 Festival Playlist Reward Cars, and 4 Car Pass Cars limited to the Car Pass, Deluxe, Premium, and Premium Upgrade Editions. A new Limited Time Series called City Life also arrives with the update.
The players

Forza Horizon 6
The latest entry in the open-world Forza Horizon racing series, with ongoing seasonal and car-collection updates.
The details
Update 3.479.874 went live on Xbox Series X|S and PC on November 2, 2026. Solo Seasonal Championships now run at the difficulty the player selects. The Percentage Map Discovered bug, which stopped progress short of 100% after each region was explored, has been fixed. A new filter in the Autoshow and Garage shows which cars qualify for the current Festival Playlist Events, and all PR Stunt Leaderboards were reset because of unrealistic entries.

The Home Front
Limited-time car series and tiered edition content follow a familiar live-service model in which purchase tiers unlock exclusive vehicles over time. Players in the global Forza Horizon community will track how the PS5 launch on January 26, 2027 changes that model's reach.
If you play on Xbox Series X|S or PC, check whether your edition includes the Car Pass Cars before planning your collection. Players on other platforms should watch for the PS5 release on January 26, 2027.
The takeaway
Review your edition tier before the November releases, since four cars are restricted to the Car Pass, Deluxe, Premium, and Premium Upgrade Editions. Use the new filter in the Autoshow and Garage to see which cars qualify for each Festival Playlist Event.
