Update 7, dubbed Festival Playlist and also known as Series 7, was the 7th major content update for Forza Horizon 4 released on March 12, 2019.
The update introduced a new interface known as Festival Playlist that summarized all singleplayer and multiplayer activities of each seasons of a series, allowing players to conveniently track their series progress and discover seasonal unlocks.[1]
A majority of seasonal car rewards are unlocked after progressing 50% or 80% of a Season, although there are also two Series Completion Bonus cars that are unlocked depending on the player's progress across the entire series.
Several Showcase events have also been made available in different seasons as "Showcase Remixes." Players must complete the original corresponding events before being able to play their Showcase Remix counterparts.
It also introduced 18 new Achievements that included challenges for game features that were added in previous updates.

Patch Notes[]
- New Features
- Festival Playlist
- The Series 7 update adds a new feature called Festival Playlist, starting in summer. The Playlist gives you a clear view of everything that’s going on at Horizon each Season and keeps track of everything you’ve done. Complete it all to earn some of Horizon’s most desirable rewards. This is an all-new way to play!
- New Achievements
- This update adds 18 new Achievements to Forza Horizon 4, worth a total of 500 gamerscore, which support the features added since launch. This includes the new Horizon Stories (British Racing Green, Isha’s Taxis, and Skill Streak), Free-for-All Adventure and Route Blueprint; plus Achievements for participating in #FORZATHON and completing seasonal content.
- Showcase Remixes
- We’ve added a twist to two of our most popular Showcase Events! For a limited time only during Series 7, you’ll be able to race against the Flying Scotsman in summer while driving a Ford Anglia in our NINE & THREE QUARTERS Showcase Remix, and veterans of UNSC Fleetcom’s Halo Experience can find a new challenge as the training exercise is re-run in winter, called the ASSAULT ON THE CONTROL ROOM Showcase Remix. You’ll need to complete the regular Showcases first to unlock the remixed versions.
