Forza Horizon 6 brings a seasonal Japanese festival flair with its latest update released on August 10. The Horizon Mascot Party introduces a limited-time Edamame Time Attack Circuit, available for four weeks only.

What is the Edamame Time Attack Circuit?

Time Attack Circuits challenge players to set the fastest lap times across open-world routes. You jump right into the track with no loading screens and compete for a spot on the global leaderboard. The mascot-themed Edamame Time Attack Circuit is exclusive to the Horizon Mascot Party season and will close once the event ends. Leaderboards reset every season, so if you want your name at the top, make sure to take your shot within this four-week window.

Other Seasonal Updates

This update brings more than just a new circuit. Highlights include:

• American and British Sign Language support: Cinematic scenes now feature ASL and BSL interpreters in picture-in-picture, with customizable position and background color.
• New mascot props in EventLab: 28 new items for signs and flags, 9 for walls and fences, and 4 for road and race categories. Plus, new vehicle props like bicycles, closed scooters, and sport motorcycles.
• Two new horns: The Mascot Horn and the Fus-Roh-Dah horn, a nod to a popular game.
• Two new badges: Mascot Badge and Shimanoyama Heat Badge.
