Wristbands are a key commodity once you do turn your attention to official events. You'll begin Forza Horizon 6 as a tourist in Japan who gets caught up in the car culture. "We made the 'Horizon Festival' portion of the campaign more progression driven," says Ellert. "As you complete Festival races, you earn points towards your next Wristband. When you unlock that Wristband, you must complete a Milestone Event, which then unlocks a new round of Festival Races and PR stunts. As these are structured and progression driven, we were able to apply car classes and themes to each event, so that as you rise through the ranks, you will take on events that require faster, more thrilling cars.
