Forza Horizon 6 is settling into Japan with its first Autumn playlist, and this week is built for players who love older Japanese cars. The “Welcome to Japan” season gives players a chance to unlock the 1997 Nissan GT-R V-Spec and 1991 Honda CR-X SiR, while pushing them through drifting, road racing, dirt events, PR stunts, and a Tokyo delivery job.
The season runs from May 28 to June 4, with 45 points available. Players only need 15 points for the GT-R and 30 points for the CR-X, so both cars are reachable without clearing every single challenge.
The two main rewards make this week worth playing early. The 1997 Nissan GT-R V-Spec is the first target at 15 points, while the 1991 Honda CR-X SiR unlocks at 30 points.
The GT-R is the obvious headline car, but the CR-X gives the playlist a smaller, sharper reward that suits players who enjoy lighter classics instead of only chasing high-power builds.
Those points also help with the wider Series 1 reward track. Anyone working toward the 2008 Mazda Furai and 2010 Nissan 370Z will want to keep earning points each week instead of trying to catch up later.
The weekly challenge puts the 1989 Nissan Silvia K’s in the spotlight, which feels like the right car for an early Japanese playlist. Players need to drive it through drifting, road racing, and drag racing tasks to earn five points and credits.
That makes it a good warm-up for the season. It gets players into a car that fits the map, then moves them across different event types instead of making the week feel like one long race grind.
For players who do not want to clear the whole playlist, this challenge is one of the easiest ways to start building toward the reward cards.
This week’s events do a better job when treated as a tour of the map rather than a checklist. There are road races, dirt events, cross country routes, PR stunts, a photo challenge, and a treasure hunt, so players will naturally move between city roads, open countryside, and landmark areas.
The PR stunts keep the car restrictions focused, which should make them easier to plan around. The photo challenge at Tokyo Tower is also a simple point for anyone who wants quick progress without jumping into another race.
The Tokyo City food delivery activity adds a different pace to the week, though players should know there have been reports of issues with the Nissan Be-1 reward tied to the job. Anyone missing that car should keep an eye on in-game messages and official updates.
Autumn gives players enough time to earn both headline cars without clearing every activity, but the playlist will rotate out when the next season begins on June 4.
The smartest approach is to grab the weekly Silvia challenge, knock out the quick photo and treasure tasks, then fill the rest with the race events that fit your garage best. That should be enough for most players to leave the week with both Japanese reward cars and a solid start toward the full “Welcome to Japan” Series 1 lineup.
