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.
