There’s just about a month remaining until the first paying customers get their hands on Forza Horizon 6 and, with that moment rapidly approaching, Microsoft has taken the step of revealing the full list of Xbox Achievements available for the title.
Xbox/Steam Achievement and PlayStation Trophy lists are always of interest as they give a few little clues as to what activities the game will try to nudge you towards and what the general progress looks like. There’s also hints at some of the game content and number of events by way of what you’re rewarded for and to what level.
As usual the Achievement list tots up to 1,000GS, and this is spread over 32 individual Achievements. There’s three 50GS items on the list which correspond to gameplay and exploration: Horizon Legend comes from earning the Gold Wristband about which we’ve already learned; Master Explorer is earned through picking up a “Gold Stamp” in your Collection Journal; and The Horizon Cartographer is awarded for revealing the entire map.
Unsurprisingly there’s Achievements for picking up each of the wristbands — Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, Orange, Purple, and Gold, in that order. This also applies to the Collection Journal stamps which have identical gradings. We don’t entirely know what this will entail at this point, but the previous description of this and names of the Achievements firmly hint at discovering landmarks across the interpretative map of Japan.
While there’s also other generic activity Achievements, such as buying your first car, buying one of the eight player houses, collecting cars, hitting stunt targets and so on, there’s others that reveal some details about the gameplay. Two, The Boss and Working 9 to 5, include a description that contains the word “Job”, suggesting something similar to the Businesses of Forza Horizon 4 like Isha’s Taxis and Express Delivery. We’ve seen this hinted previously, with a food delivery mission mentioned in February.
It looks like there’s a few that’ll require online multiplayer access, which may irk, relying on ranking up in Horizon Play as well as attending the co-op car meets. There’s also an Achievement for visiting another player’s Estate, called What Are You Doing In My Estate?. One game mode we can’t see represented in the Achievements is The Eliminator, and there’s a particularly questionable Achievement title too as Four Swords in Japan usually refers to cursed, bloodthirsty blades (with the number four being associated with death due to being a homophone) that may even turn on their owners…

Forza Horizon 6 will also be launching on PlayStation 5 consoles later this year, and we expect that the list of Trophies will be broadly the same but converted to the three tiers of Trophy you can collect.
All of the 10GS Achievements will likely be Bronze, with the 20GS ones potentially either Bronze or Silver, the 30GS Achievements at Silver, and the three 50GS Achievements will probably be the Golds — with the additional Platinum for collecting all of the others. However the Achievement:Trophy ratio isn’t always exactly 1:1 like this, so we’ll have a separate article for when this information drops, as well as a guide for collecting them all.
