Playground Games has detailed Forza Horizon 6’s upcoming Drift Attack mode, confirming a September 7 release alongside a new Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition. A 7-Eleven collaboration and British Automotive series will follow.
Playground Games has revealed new details about Drift Attack, the upcoming Shared World feature for Forza Horizon 6. Previously confirmed as part of the game’s Gamescom 2026 presence, the new drifting activity will become available on September 7, 2026, transforming the Shimanoyama Circuit into its permanent home.
Players will be able to enter directly from the open world without a loading screen, either alone, as part of a Convoy or alongside other drivers. Rather than chasing lap times, Drift Attack awards points for controlled slides, with dedicated Clipping Zones providing additional scoring opportunities around the circuit.
The feature will include in-world and Convoy leaderboards, including drivetrain information for each entry, and will unlock once players obtain the Yellow Wristband. Playground Games also plans to introduce temporary Evolving World Drift Attack locations in future series, while Shimanoyama will remain permanently available.
New Jaguar and British Automotive Series
Drift Attack will also be integrated into the Horizon Festival campaign, where players can unlock the 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Forza Edition, a specially modified version designed around drifting. A standard version of the Jaguar XJ-S will also be added to the Autoshow.
A few days later, on September 10, Forza Horizon 6 will begin its British Automotive celebration. The series will include a British-themed dealership takeover, three new-to-Horizon cars obtainable through the Festival Playlist and another four new-to-Horizon vehicles for Car Pass owners. Playground Games has not yet revealed the seven cars involved.
Forza Horizon 6 x 7-Eleven Coming in October
Playground Games has also announced a new official 7-Eleven collaboration for Forza Horizon 6. The partnership will introduce a 7-Eleven Evolving World experience and an EventLab Content Pack as part of the October series update. Further details have yet to be announced.
Gamescom visitors will get an early opportunity to play Drift Attack at the Xbox booth, where a vehicle carrying a special 7-Eleven livery will also be displayed.
Drift Attack arrives on September 7, followed by the British Automotive series on September 10, while the 7-Eleven collaboration is scheduled for October.
Microsoft has launched a new Forza franchise sale, cutting 15% from Forza Horizon 6 while Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 are available with discounts of up to 60% across Xbox, Steam and PlayStation 5.
