Festival Playlist · Season rewards
Forza Horizon 6 Treasure Cars
Treasure cars are the seasonal headline rewards on the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist. You complete a specific Playlist task, follow a riddle to a treasure chest on the map, and the featured car drops straight into your garage. This page covers the mechanic, the current Series 1 treasure-hunt context, how to find the live location without stale screenshots, which cars have been featured so far, and how to claim them without burning the whole Playlist.
Current FH6 treasure hunt context
- Series 1: Welcome to Japan (May 21, 2026 to June 18, 2026) — The launch Festival Playlist series is live now. The official weekly reward posts make this the primary context for any current FH6 treasure-car or treasure-hunt search.
- Autumn week in Series 1 (May 28, 2026 to June 4, 2026) — The current official weekly post lists a Treasure Hunt in the Minamino Region that starts from the challenge photo clue, which is the best live pointer before community chest coordinates settle.
- Series 2: Horizon Decades (June 18, 2026 to July 16, 2026) — The next confirmed Playlist series is already announced, so players can track the handoff instead of treating treasure-car pages as timeless-only guides.
This matters because a large share of treasure-car searches are really asking about the currentFestival Playlist treasure hunt, not just the permanent game mechanic. Keeping the live series dates and weekly post in view makes this page a better landing page for both evergreen and in-season search intent.
How treasure cars work in FH6
Every Festival Playlist season has a treasure car. To claim it, you unlock the treasure-chest task by completing a chain of Playlist activities (races, Stories, photo challenges, online events). When the task finishes, the game gives you a hint — sometimes a visual riddle, sometimes a wide map area — and you drive there to find the chest. The car is delivered automatically when you reach it.
Treasure cars are free once unlocked. The cost is your time in the Festival Playlist that season.
Where the treasure car locations come from
Playground Games designs a new chest location every season, so map guides expire quickly. We do not ship a static treasure-car map — community-maintained trackers on r/ForzaHorizon and the official Forza forums update inside hours of each new season dropping. Pair that with the in-game hint and you usually find the chest in 5 minutes.
For the current Autumn week of Series 1, the official Playlist post says the treasure hunt begins in the Minamino Region and uses the challenge image as the clue. That is the most reliable starting point until players finish posting exact chest coordinates.
How treasure cars relate to the rest of the FH6 roster
Treasure cars are confirmed entries on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list. They appear on the source with class, year, make and model the same as any base-roster or pack car — the only difference is the unlock route. Some treasure cars carry the Forza Edition tag when they are special-edition variants with extra mods. Others are Promotional DLC code entries that double as treasure rewards.
If you are planning the rest of the month instead of just the live week, pair this page with the Festival Playlist guide so you can track how each treasure-hunt window fits into the broader Series 1 and Series 2 reward calendar.
Frequently asked questions
What are treasure cars in Forza Horizon 6?
Treasure cars are Festival Playlist reward cars that you claim by completing a specific Playlist task and then finding a treasure chest at a hinted location on the map. The chest contains the featured car for that season. They are typically rare or special-edition vehicles that are otherwise hard to obtain.
How do I find the FH6 treasure car location?
Playground Games gives you a riddle or visual hint when you unlock the treasure chest task. You drive to the area, find the chest, and the car is delivered to your garage. The exact map coordinate moves each season, so any 'fixed' map you see online is for the current season only. We link to the live community Playlist tracker rather than republishing stale coordinates.
Are treasure cars free?
Yes — once you complete the unlock task, the treasure car is delivered free of credits. The catch is that the task usually requires Series-Pass-level Playlist progress, so casual players sometimes miss the window. After the season ends, the treasure car can still appear later in the Backstage Pass, Festival Playlist re-runs, or the Auction House.
Which cars have been treasure cars in FH6 so far?
Treasure car selections rotate every season (roughly monthly). Right now the official live context is Series 1: Welcome to Japan, which runs through June 18, 2026. Watch the weekly Forza Playlist posts and the in-game Festival Playlist for the current pick. We log known treasure-car context on the updates feed when the source confirms it.
Do I have to play every week to get the treasure car?
You only need to complete the specific treasure-chest task for that season, not every Playlist activity. The task usually requires moderate effort (a couple of races, photo challenges, or convoy events). If you miss the window, the car can still come back through the Backstage Pass, Forzathon Shop, or future Playlist seasons.
What is the live FH6 treasure hunt right now?
The current official weekly Playlist post for the Autumn season of Series 1: Welcome to Japan says the live treasure-hunt route is in the Minamino Region and starts from a photo clue. That is the best current checkpoint for players searching the live FH6 treasure hunt without relying on stale map screenshots.
