Playground Games' Series 7 update adds two permanent Tokyo City race routes, three new-to-Horizon cars, a 35-piece IKEA Prop Pack and a Halo and Xbox 25th anniversary celebration.
The City Life update for Forza Horizon 6 is out, and it comes with a tribute to Xbox’s 25th year. The download went live November 2 at 6:00 PM UTC (1:00 PM ET) on Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox app on PC and Steam, and the City Life Festival Playlist started November 5 at 2:30 PM UTC (9:30 AM ET), per Playground Games on Forza.net.
The Halo and Xbox stuff
- Halo and Xbox 25th anniversary livery for the 2025 GR GT Prototype, “to be sent to all players via Message Center.”
- The Master Chief Outfit, unlockable in the Week 2 Photo Challenge of the Festival Playlist.
- Halo Shield Recharge car horn, earned by finding 15 Gashapon Machine collectibles at Daikoku in Week 2.
- Pure Xbox noted on November 6 that the GR GT Prototype livery and Master Chief outfit had not shown up yet for them, so expect those to arrive over the next days.
The IKEA Prop Pack
Playground says custom garage builders get the IKEA Prop Pack with 35 props to celebrate the Xbox and IKEA gaming-inspired collection. It includes controller display boxes, a D-Pad controller platter and cushion, thumb stick stools, a lounge chair, TV stands, VARMBLIXT lamps in five colors, plus classics like the BILLY bookcase, KALLAX shelving, LACK coffee tables and the FRAKTA carrier bag.

Fine print
Playground confirmed a complete wipe of the PR Stunts Leaderboards (Danger Signs, Drift Zones, Speed Zones, Trailblazers, Speed Traps) because the update fixes glitches that allowed unrealistic scores. Collection Journal items already earned for PR Stunts stay unlocked. Up next: the Horizon Holidays in December, and the first Forza Horizon 6 expansion on January 21.
OnPoint’s take: Master Chief in Horizon Japan for Xbox’s 25th is exactly the kind of fan service we want. Free Halo content in one of the best-looking racers on the platform, plus an IKEA garage that lets you decorate like a true Xbox fan, shows Playground still cares about the details. The leaderboard wipe stings for legit stunt players, but it is the right call to give everyone a clean board. Go find those Gashapon machines.
