Forza Horizon 6, the latest open-world racer from Playground Games, has launched its first festival playlist, 'Welcome to Japan,' with a Spring season that challenges players to complete a series of tasks before the window closes. Among these is the Tokyo City Treasure Hunt, a hidden-chest puzzle set in the neon-lit capital that rewards 100,000 credits upon completion. The hunt requires drivers to locate the Tomitama building, scale ramps, and navigate a thin interior walkway to claim the prize, according to the in-game guide and community walkthroughs.

The 100,000-Credit Reward and the Tomitama Building Route

The treasure chest is hidden inside the Tomitama building, a large multi-colored structure in Tokyo's bottom-middle map section. As the source details, players must first find a ramp leading to a neighboring roof, then descend via another ramp to enter a large door at a specific dip. Inside, a narrow walkway leads to a platform where the chest waits. The process is more than a straightforward drive; it demands careful speed control and timing to avoid falling off the edge, according to the guide.

This pocekt of content demonstrates Forza Horizon 6's shift toward environmental puzzles rather than pure racing, a trend that has grown in the series since Forza Horizon 5's 'Hot Wheels' expansion. The 100,000-credit payout is significant for players building their garage early in the game, but it also fuels progress toward the playlist's bigger prizes: the 1996 Toyota Starlet Glanza V and the 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, both highly sought-after for their heritage stats.

Why the 'Welcome to Japan' Playlist Tests More Than Speed

The Spring season of the 'Welcome to Japan' playlist is the final chapter of the initial weekly event, blending cherry-blossom scenery with a demanding set of tasks. According to the source, completing the treasure hunt is just one of many events required to accumulate enough points for the top-tier vehicle unlocks. The diversity of challenges—from speed traps to drift zones—forces players to master different driving styles, a deliberate design choice that rewards persistence over raw pace.

Forza Horizon 6's depiction of Japan, from Tokyo's urban density to rural countryside roads, provides a visually rich backdrop for these goals. Playground Games has long been praised for its environmental fidelity, and the Spring setting adds a layer of seasonal variety that affects driving conditions, as noted by the game's critical reception.

Playground Games' Cross-Platform Future and the 2026 PlayStation 5 Expansion

The developer, Playground Games, and publisher Xbox Game Studios have made Forza Horizon 6 available on Xbox Series X|S and PC , with high-end hardware enabling fluid performance and breathtaking visuals. The source also reports that a PlayStation 5 version is slated for release later in 2026, marking a major expansion of the game's reach beyond Microsoft's ecosystem. This move echoes similar cross-platform strategies seen in other Xbox titles, such as Grounded and Sea of Thieves, but it is particularly notable for a flagship racing franchise that has long been exclusive to Xbox and Windows.

The broader trend: by bringing Forza Horizon 6 to PlayStation, Microsoft aims to capture a wider audience of automotive enthusiasts who may have missed earlier entries. The community's reaction has been mixed, with some long-time Xbox players questioning the exclusivity shift, while others welcome the prospect of a larger player base and extended live-service support.

What Remains Unclear About the Treasure Hunt's Long-Term Role

While the guide provides a clear path to the chest, several open questions persist. First, it is unknown whether this treasure hunt is a one-time event tied to the Spring season or whether it will rotate into future playlists—a detail the source does not address. Second, the difficulty of the route for casual players is not benchmarked; some community forums report multiple attempts due to the narrow walkway, yet no official difficulty rating exists. Finally,the extent to which Playground Games plans to expand treasure-hunt-style puzzles into other cities on the map, such as Osaka or Kyoto, remains speculation. The publisher has not commented on additional hunt locations, leaving the community to woder if Tokyo's Tomitama biulding is a prototype for a broader puzzle mechanic.
