Forza Horizon 6 launched on May 19th. We saw a significant shift in Playground Games’ approach to progression. Unlike the free-route structure of previous entries, FH6 uses a Wristband system that gates events behind milestone achievements. Hit the right milestones, earn a Wristband, unlock Rush and Showcase events, then repeat.
This article covers the fastest methods to level up your Wristband tier and unlock everything the game has to offer.
What Are Wristbands in Forza Horizon 6?
Points are earned by reaching a milestone in Horizon Events to receive wristbands. Wristbands unlock Rush & Showcase Events, which then unlock new tiers.
The secret of getting past the higher levels quickly is that points can be earned through several different sources. No single activity dominates, so stack smaller gains rather than grinding one thing.
How To Get Wristbands Fast?
Win Races on The Right Difficulty
Races will offer you some good XP as well; you will also get an additional one for the first place. Reduce the level of the Drivatar challenge to the minimum till you start winning every race, as the extra XP from winning the event is better than the effort of getting second place at a higher difficulty level.
If you end up losing the race, there is nothing to do. Replay won’t help you like running new events. Short on Credits for car upgrades? Buy Forza Horizon 6 Credits to fast-track your builds.
Take Horizon Promo Photos
With over 600 cars in the system, the numbers really add up in Horizon Promo. Taking pictures of the cars earns you points to work towards the Wristband; 10 for each one, meaning there are more than 6,000 points to be earned.
The quick way of doing things? Start each race with photo mode on and take all the pictures at once.
Smash XP Boards
XP boards across Japan don’t deliver massive payouts, but they’re consistent:
Combined with everything else, they’re free points. For more collectible locations, check the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist guide.
Drive Manually, Don’t Fast Travel
Travel fast bypasses important locations. Traveling on your own gets you through Speed Traps, Danger Zones, and Drift Zones, which help your Wristband point. You also discover new areas, Points of Interest, and Mascots for the Explore Japan level.
Stack Link Skills
Complete the same Skill as another player close by ( no Convoy needed). You will get 10 Wristband points for the first time completing the Skill. Pick easy ones: Drift, Burnout, Air, Speed.
Use the Collection Book
Lists every event and win, as well as stunt star. There is also a first-completion reward for Drag Meet and Time Attack, depending on the car classes used.
Fastest Method
Racing wins combined with Horizon Promo pictures from events is the best way. Plus, drive manually for stunt stars, and points stack up faster.
Next Steps
Once your Wristband grind is sorted, focus on building your garage. Check out Forza Horizon 6 Rare Cars to find the top vehicles for your collection.
Final Takeaway
Combine race wins, Promo photos, XP boards, manual driving, and Link Skills. Check your Collection Book regularly for missed bonuses. That’s the fastest path to unlocking every Wristband tier in Forza Horizon 6.
