Series 4, Horizon Mascot Party, was the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist from Aug 13 to Sep 10, 2026, built around the game's smashable Regional Mascots, with the 1970 Honda N600 and the 1967 Renault 8 Gordini as overall rewards. Its title update, Steam version 1.419.635.0 on Aug 10, 2026 at 5:00PM UTC, brought the accessibility feature that had missed launch: American Sign Language and British Sign Language interpreters for the cinematics.

Sign language and accessibility
American and British Sign Language were promised before launch but not ready on May 19. Since Aug 10 an interpreter can appear in a movable picture-in-picture window during cinematics, with a choice of background color. The same update fixed three screen reader problems: the What's Next? screen, Wheelspin prizes and the moment after the ANNA tutorial. Accessibility and AutoDrive covers every option.
Mascots, props and the Edamame circuit
The series theme was the mascots, the smashable collectibles placed around each region (see Collectibles). The update added:
- 47 mascot-themed props for EventLab and Horizon CoLab
- The Edamame Time Attack Circuit, a temporary mascot-themed circuit at the Horizon Stadium (see Time Attack Circuits); it returned in Series 7
- The Shimanoyama Heat collectible
- Three car horns, Fus-Roh-Dah, Mascot and Pinball Machine
- The Party Time and Hot Lap badges and a Dango outfit
Fixes
The Aug 10 update also fixed "Garage Full" problems, stopped buying a car at a Car Meet from also unlocking its livery, and gave the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio a new stock exhaust sound. Series 4 Hotfix 1, Steam version 1.430.771.0 on Aug 24, restored Road Discovery progress that some players had lost in the Series 4 update, and closed a hole that let anyone download and edit other players' vinyls (see Customization and Liveries).
Car Pass cars
Playground's own posts and Forza Support disagree on the order of this series' Car Pass cars. Forza Support's Car Pass page, updated Oct 21, 2026, gives:
| Date | Car |
|---|---|
| Aug 13 | 1987 Porsche #203 Porsche AG 961 |
| Aug 20 | 1957 Ford Thunderbird |
| Aug 27 | 1968 Alfa Romeo Autodelta Tipo 33/2 Daytona |
| Sep 3 | 1983 Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo RS |
Source: Forza Horizon 6 Car Pass, Forza Support. Playground's Aug 10 Series 4 post instead put the Alfa Romeo on Aug 13, the Skyline on Aug 27 and the Porsche on Sep 3. The same four cars arrived either way. See Car Pass.
