Continue ShoppingSeasons play a critical role in Forza Horizon 6, drastically changing the driving conditions, visuals, and available events across the open-world map of Japan. Understanding how the seasonal cycle works is essential for planning your races and unlocking exclusive rewards.
This guide explains exactly how seasonal transitions function and how you can manipulate or navigate them.

In the main online multiplayer and single-player modes (Horizon Life), you cannot manually change the season at will. The game runs on a fixed, real-world weekly schedule synchronized across the global server.
| Season | Festival Playlist Status | Map Conditions (Japan) |
|---|---|---|
| Summer | Wet Season / Series Start | Frequent rain, slippery asphalt, lush green landscapes. |
| Autumn | Storm Season | Strong winds, heavy downpours, leaves covering roads impacting grip. |
| Winter | Dry / Snow Season | Heavy snow in mountainous regions (like Mount Fuji), icy high-altitude roads, dry city conditions. |
| Spring | Hot Season | Clear skies, optimal dry road grip, blooming cherry blossoms (Sakura). |
If you do not want to wait for the weekly server reset, you can change the season immediately for specific activities using the built-in Blueprint and Horizon EventLab systems.
This is the most reliable way to drive in your preferred season for a specific race route.
