Horizon decades unleashed: playground games drops 10 iconic cars into forza horizon 6

Forza Horizon 6 is gearing up for a serious horsepower injection, and Playground Games isn’t holding back. The Horizon Playlist Series 2, dubbed ‘Horizon Decades,’ is dropping a curated selection of Automotive icons starting June 18th and running through July 16th – and frankly, it’s a slick move to keep the community engaged.

A decade-long drive – here’s what’s coming

Forget incremental updates; this is a deep dive. We’re talking a meticulously chosen roster of 10 vehicles spanning the late 80s through the early 2010s, each earning points through dedicated seasonal challenges. The list reads like a collector’s dream: a ’89 Volkswagen Rallye Golf (20 points in Summer), a snarling ’88 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV (40 points in Summer), a wild TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (20 points in Autumn), a ’93 Schuppan 962CR (40 points in Autumn), a monstrous Dodge Ram SRT-10 (20 points in Winter), a ’03 Ford F-150 SVT (40 points in Winter), a sleek ’17 Mercedes-AMG GT R (20 points in Spring), a flamboyant ’17 Saleen S7 LM (40 points in Spring), a track-focused Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau (80 points across the entire series), and finally, the utterly audacious Lotus Exige Cup 430 (160 points across the series).

Now, a quick heads-up: several of these – the Countach, the 962CR, the F-150, and the S7 – were already available as reward cars in Series 1. So, if you missed them last time around, this is your second chance to add them to your garage. Playground's playing a smart game here, leveraging existing player investment.

But don’t assume it ends there. Based on the success of Series 1, expect a significant expansion of the vehicle roster beyond the initial 10. Adding to the excitement is a brand new open-world Car Meet at the Hokubu Time Attack Circuit. This isn’t just about adding cars; it’s about building a community hub.

Italian flair on the horizon

Series 3, ‘Italian Exotics,’ is already in development, accompanied by a dedicated DLC car pack – the Italian Passion Car Pack – available at no extra cost to Premium Edition holders. It’s a calculated move to incentivize upgrades and keep players invested. IGN's review, which you can find here, offers a comprehensive look at what makes this 10/10 speedster the reigning king of open-world racing. And for those still chasing down elusive treasure cars and barn finds in Japan, Luke at IGN has you covered – reach him on Bluesky @mrlukereilly.

Let’s be clear: Playground Games isn’t messing around. This isn’t just content; it’s a strategic rollout designed to maintain momentum and keep players hooked. The sheer variety of vehicles – from rally classics to exotic supercars – promises a genuinely diverse and rewarding driving experience. It’s a testament to their commitment to delivering a truly compelling open-world racer.
