Forza Horizon 6’s return to ‘wristband progression’ isn’t the stand-in for a career mode I wanted it to be, but maybe that’s for the best

Playground Games has announced the return of wristband progression in Forza Horizon 6, allowing players to start as a tourist in Japan and earn wristbands through races and challenges. These wristbands indicate vehicle performance tiers, starting from C-rank and progressing to B and A-rank. Players can explore the open world and participate in events with any car, but concerns arise about rapid car accumulation, especially with the Premium edition and the presence of Wheelspins, which provide high-value rewards. Forza Horizon 6 features two progression paths: the Horizon Festival and Discover Japan, offering structured engagement while rewarding players for various tasks. The game aims to balance unrestricted exploration with a sense of advancement, though it may not fully replace a traditional career mode.
