Forza Horizon 6’s Autumn season, released in early 2026,adds a treasure hunt in the Minamino Region that grants players 100,000 in‑game credits and three seasonal points. The challenge is anchored around a visible chest near the region’s golf course,a spot familiar to veterans of the main campaign.

Minamino Region treasure hunt offers 100,000 credits

The hunt begins by opening the in‑game map and zooming to the northeast quadrant where the Minamino golf course sits. a large chest icon appears on the dirt‑road loop surrounding the greens, and driving into its enclosure instantly awards 100,000 credits and three seasonal points, according to the source report.

Those points may seem modest, but they stack with other seasonal challenges,nudging players closer to franchise‑level prizes such as the 1997 Nissan Skyline GT‑R V‑Spec or the 1991 Honda CR‑X SiR. The source notes that accumulating enough points dramatically improves the odds of unolcking these coveted cars before the season’s deadline.

Fast‑travel advantage in northeast of Tokyo

Because Minamino lies just northeast of Tokyo and features a well‑known golf course, seasoned players can use fast travel to zip directly to the chest location. The source says this reduces the hunt to a “quick drive” rather than a prolonged search, allowing competitors to claim the reward before other micro‑missions siphon their momentum.

Fast‑travel also lets players time their approach to avoid peak traffic on the region’s main roads, ensuring a smooth entry into the chest’s trigger zone. This mechanic underscores the game’s design philosophy of rewarding map familiarity with tangible in‑game benefits.

Seasonal points boost toward 1997 Nissan Skyline GT‑R V‑Spec

Each completed treasure hunt adds three points to a player’s seasonal ranking. When combined with points from precision races, stunt runs, and photo‑ops, the total can push a driver into the top tier of the Autumn leaderboard. The source highlights that the top tier unlocks the iconic 1997 Nissan Skyline GT‑R V‑Spec , a car highly prized by the community for its classic styling and performance.

Because the Autumn playlist runs on a fixed calendar, missing the chest before the season closes means forfeiting the chance to replay the same 100,000‑credit reward, a fact the report emphasizes to encourage timely participation.

PlayStation 5 version delayed to 2026

Forza Horizon 6 launched simultaneously on Xbox Series X|S and PC, while a PlayStation 5 port is slated for a later 2026 release, according to the game’s launch notes. This staggered rollout means PS5 players will have to wait to experience the Minamino treasure hunt and other Autumn content.

The delay has sparked discussion in the community about platform parity, especially as the treasure hunt’s credit windfall can influence cross‑season progession. As the source reports, developers have promised a “feature‑complete” experience for the PS5 launch, but timing remains a point of contention.

Will the treasure chest respawn after season ends?

The source does not confirm whether the Minamino chest will reappear in future seasonal playlists, leaving players uncertain about long‑term access to the 100,000‑credit payout . Additionally , it is unclear if the three seasonal points awarded are unique to the Autumn playlist or if they will carry over to subsequent seasons.

These unanswered details highlight a broader question about the permanence of high‑value micro‑rewards in open‑world racing games.
