Playground Games announced on August 26 that Forza Horizon 6 will collaborate with Seven-Eleven. The collaboration content, named "7-Eleven Evolving World" and "EventLab Content Pack," is scheduled to arrive with the October series update. Details are still under wraps, with only a single image released at the time of the announcement. The content reportedly reflects feedback submitted through the Forza Feedback Portal. Separately, the September 7 series update will introduce a new feature called Drift Attack, a drift-point competition mode. Players earn points by drifting on a course, with bonus points available inside clipping zones. Drift Attack will be accessible from the open-world map at Shimano Circuit, which becomes a permanent drift circuit. It supports solo and multiplayer play, and completing campaign challenges unlocks a customized 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition. Starting September 10, a British car festival event will begin, offering three series-first British cars through the Festival Playlist and four additional vehicles for Car Pass owners. Forza Horizon 6 is available on PC and Xbox Series X|S, and a PS5 version is planned within the year.
- The August 26 announcement came with a single image showing the collaboration "under construction," per Automaton.
