Horizon Mascot Party is the fourth Festival Playlist series in Forza Horizon 6, and it fills the seasonal reward slots with ten cars to collect. Three of them are new to the game, and the rest give newer players a chance to grab exclusives that appeared in earlier series. The playlist runs across four weekly seasons, with each car tied to a specific Forzathon point total and a fixed availability window.
Quick answer: Earn Forzathon points by completing seasonal challenges and events. Hit 80 points across the whole series to unlock the 1970 Honda N600, and clear the 20‑ and 40‑point marks in each weekly season to claim that week’s two exclusive cars before its window closes.
When the Mascot Party playlist runs
The content update became available to download on Monday, August 10 at 5:00 PM UTC on Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox app on PC, and Steam. The Horizon Mascot Party Festival Playlist itself goes live on Thursday, August 13 at 2:30 PM UTC. From there, the series moves through four weekly seasons, ending on September 10.
Each weekly season carries its own two exclusive cars, and each has a hard cutoff. If you miss a season’s window, those two cars leave the playlist, so plan around the dates below.
All Mascot Party reward cars and point targets
The 1970 Honda N600 is the series reward, unlocked with a running total of 80 points at any point during the full playlist. The remaining eight cars are split across the four seasons, with the 20‑point car and the 40‑point car available only during that season’s week.
| Car | Points needed | Season | Available |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1970 Honda N600 | 80 (series total) | Whole series | Aug 13 – Sep 10 |
| 2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 | 20 | Summer | Aug 13 – Aug 20 |
| 1969 Datsun 2000 Roadster | 40 | Summer | Aug 13 – Aug 20 |
| 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 | 20 | Autumn | Aug 20 – Aug 27 |
| 2016 Abarth 695 Biposto | 40 | Autumn | Aug 20 – Aug 27 |
| 1974 Toyota Celica GT | 20 | Winter | Aug 27 – Sep 3 |
| 1989 Toyota MR2 SC | 40 | Winter | Aug 27 – Sep 3 |
| 1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R | 20 | Spring | Sep 3 – Sep 10 |
| 1968 Dodge Dart HEMI Super Stock | 40 | Spring | Sep 3 – Sep 10 |
The three new-to-Horizon cars
Three of the ten rewards are debuting in Forza Horizon 6 for the first time. Two of them, the Honda N600 and the Camaro ZL1, sit at opposite ends of the performance scale, while the Exocet is a lightweight track special built from Miata parts.
| Car | Engine | Power | Class / PI | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970 Honda N600 | 0.6L inline‑2 | 36 hp | D 100 | FWD |
| 2018 Exomotive Exocet Sport V8 XP-5 | 6.2L V8 | 525 hp | S2 841 | RWD |
| 2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 | 6.2L V8 | 650 hp | S1 718 | RWD |
The N600 is the successor to Honda’s early N360 and weighs around 500 kg, which gives the tiny car a decent power‑to‑weight ratio despite its modest output. The Exocet XP-5 strips the platform down to a bare, performance‑focused frame, and its V8 pushes the power‑to‑weight figure into hypercar territory. The 2024 Camaro ZL1 closes out a muscle‑car icon with a sophisticated suspension and sharp steering that hold up on both straights and corners.
Returning reward cars, season by season
Beyond the three debuts, the rest of the lineup pulls from earlier exclusives. The Datsun 2000 Roadster arrives before the 240Z era with strong handling and a rear‑wheel‑drive setup that suits Horizon Drift Championships. The Abarth 695 Biposto is a track‑bred hot hatch running a turbocharged 1.4‑liter engine.
The Winter week brings two Toyotas. The 1974 Celica GT is a smooth, front‑wheel‑drive coupe that adapts well to Touge events, and the 1989 MR2 SC pairs a supercharged 1.5‑liter engine with mid‑engine handling. Spring finishes with the Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R, which ships with a widebody kit and 17‑inch wheels as standard, and the Dodge Dart HEMI Super Stock, a drag‑ready car built around a 7.0‑liter V8.
How to earn Forzathon points fast
Every reward car is gated behind Forzathon points, which you earn by finishing seasonal challenges and events. Weekly activities reset with each new season, so points come in steadily as you play. The Monthly Rivals challenge is the exception. It gives 4 points but can only be completed once for the entire series.
| Event | Points |
|---|---|
| The Trial | 10 |
| Weekly Challenge | 5 |
| Seasonal Championship x2 | 5 |
| Treasure Hunt | 3 |
| Time Attack | 3 |
| Horizon Drift | 3 |
| Horizon Stunt Party | 3 |
| Photo Challenge | 2 |
| Danger Sign | 2 |
| Speed Zone | 2 |
| Drift Zone | 2 |
You’ll know a car is yours once it lands in your garage and the reward tile on the Festival Playlist screen switches to unlocked. Note that some higher‑value events, including The Trial, require online multiplayer, which is a paid service on console. If you can’t reach a season’s 40‑point car, missing online points is usually the reason.
New Car Pass additions
Alongside the playlist rewards, the Car Pass adds four more vehicles that roll out during the series. These are separate from the Forzathon point rewards and come with the paid Car Pass rather than seasonal challenges.
- 1987 Porsche #203 Porsche AG 961
- 1957 Ford Thunderbird
- 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2
- 1983 Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo RS
The series also brings a temporary Edamame Time Attack Circuit that only runs during Mascot Party, support for American and British Sign Language in cinematics, mascot‑themed EventLab props, and two new Car Horns. But the ten reward cars are the part with a clock on them, so track the season windows above and clear each week’s point targets before September 10 to leave the party with a full garage.
