Before You Start

Version, Ownership, and Current Status

This guide is for the single Xbox achievement list used by Forza Horizon 3 on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S through backward compatibility. The Windows 10 version shares the same list and progress, but the route assumes Xbox console for online-sensitive achievements because Windows matchmaking has had persistent lobby problems.

  • The full list is 135 achievements worth 3,000 Gamerscore: 64 base-game achievements for 1,000G, 28 Blizzard Mountain achievements for 500G, 29 Hot Wheels achievements for 500G, 10 Hoonigan achievements for 500G, and 4 #Forzathon title-update achievements for 500G.
  • Forza Horizon 3 and its paid DLC were delisted on September 27, 2020. Full 3,000G completion now requires valid access to Blizzard Mountain, Hot Wheels, and the Hoonigan Car Pack, typically through prior ownership or legitimate gamesharing. Check all three separately: the Ultimate Edition included the Car Pass but not the Expansion Pass (Blizzard Mountain and Hot Wheels), and the Hoonigan Car Pack was its own standalone purchase (also given free to Forza Motorsport 7 digital pre-orders), not part of the Car Pass or the Ultimate Edition. Without the Hoonigan pack, Send It!, Flight Of The Hoonicorn, Land, Sea And Air, and Born to Hoon cannot be earned, because Blueprint-borrowed cars do not count for real PR Stunts.
  • As of 2026-09-20, no Xbox-console achievement is CURRENTLY CONFIRMED DISCONTINUED. Online Freeroam, Online Adventure, and Co-op still work, and the online and co-op achievements are earnable on Xbox, usually with a partner. A late-2024 outage of the Auction House and Blueprint sharing was repaired in January 2025, and those features have been used since, but their reliability today is not confirmed. No achievement is known to be unobtainable. Do The Player, Community Crusher, Auction Fever, 5 Star Seller - A+++++, and Staying Connected as soon as they become available. If a tab is greyed out, try again on a later day rather than assuming it is gone for good.
  • There are no true missables and no point of no return. Australia, Blizzard Mountain, and Hot Wheels all remain available for cleanup after their campaigns. There is no New Game+ requirement and no mutually exclusive ending route.
  • Minimum practical playthroughs: one Australia career, one Blizzard Mountain campaign, and one Hot Wheels campaign. Hoonigan is cleanup on the Australia map.
  • No normal career difficulty is required. Endurance Hero is the exception: that one Exhibition must be completed against Pro Drivatars.
  • Online or service-dependent work includes The Player, Community Crusher, both Auction House achievements, the base online and co-op counters, Life's a Drag at the Airstrip Car Meet, Staying Connected, Blizzard Mountain online/co-op, Hot Wheels online races, and Hoonigan Infected.

Route Rules That Save Time

Always complete a newly unlocked Exhibition the first time you reach a race route. Later, once all festivals are level 5, use short custom Championships starting from each route. This keeps Exhibition Expert and Horizon Hardcore organized while also feeding fans, levels, race counts, and the four #Forzathon counters.

Photograph race grids after Horizon Promo is unlocked, keep a Drivatar convoy active while driving between objectives, complete Bucket Lists and PR Stunts when they are convenient, and collect boards and roads naturally. Do not spend hours on final-map cleanup before all four festival sites are open because later upgrades reveal more events.

For legacy tracking, give the game time to sync before repeating a long requirement. Long-standing tracking bugs affect several counters, especially Like a Boss and I Want It All. The route below uses low-cost retriggers first and leaves the fresh-save workaround as a last resort.

Australia — Opening Festival

Opening Showcase and Byron Bay

Welcome to Your Horizon

Complete the opening Showcase and establish the Byron Bay Festival. The achievement unlocks as the opening festival sequence finishes.

You're Hired!

On the drive toward the early festival objectives, challenge and hire a Drivatar when the game introduces the lineup system. Keep filling the lineup whenever a better candidate appears.

First Time Buyer

Once the Autoshow opens, buy any car. Free reward cars do not replace this purchase requirement, so make one normal Autoshow transaction.

One of Us

Win your first Exhibition Race as Festival Boss. Use the first required Exhibition at Byron Bay and finish first.

The Architect

At any available Exhibition route, create your own Blueprint and complete it. Keep it short and simple because only creating and finishing the Blueprint matters.

The Player

Complete another player's Exhibition Blueprint. At an Exhibition route's event setup, scroll right past the default event and pick a Blueprint whose author is a player gamertag; friends' Blueprints are the most likely to appear. If none show up, check that your Xbox privacy settings allow user-created content, or have a friend create an Exhibition Blueprint at a route you can reach. Do this early, because it depends on Blueprint sharing.

Stay on Target

When the first practical Danger Sign appears, earn 3 stars on it. If the early jumps are awkward, leave this until you have a faster car; nothing is missable.

"Do you even... oh, you do"

Earn 3 stars on any Drift Zone. Turn off traction and stability control if needed and use a rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive car with enough power.

You're Fired!

Fill all four Drivatar lineup slots, then replace one of them when another candidate is offered. The achievement triggers when you fire a current lineup member to make room for the replacement.

You're the Boss

Keep earning fans through Exhibitions, PR Stunts, Bucket Lists, and Showcases until the game offers your first festival expansion. Perform that first upgrade.

Start These Whole-Game Counters Now

This My Jam

Take part in five Skill Songs. Skill Songs must first be unlocked by buying the Skill Song perk in the Skill Shop, and the radio DJs must stay enabled for them to be announced. In free roam, when a Skill Song starts, build a skill chain during the song and bank it before the song ends; do this for five songs. The optional Radio Star perk makes Skill Songs come up more often.

Got Ourselves a Convoy

Once Convoys become available after your second festival site opens, keep one active while driving between map objectives. The 100-mile requirement is cumulative, so normal travel can finish it without a dedicated grind.

Forzatographer

As soon as you can buy the Horizon Promo skill, photograph race grids before starting events. One photo can register several unique cars, making 300 photographed cars far easier than hunting them one at a time in free roam. Check progress in Progress > Horizon Promo, which lists the cars you have shot. In free roam, a camera icon above a car means it still needs a photo (Drivatars do not show the icon). Exhibition Blueprints restricted to a specific car type give you fresh grids to photograph.

#Forzathon Cleaning Up The Festival

Do not grind this yet. The description reads "Complete 1000 Races or Snowman Skills." Completed races (general, online, and Blizzard Mountain) and snowmen smashed are reported to combine toward 1,000, and either one alone also works. Normal completion work will supply a large part of the counter; Blizzard Mountain gives the fastest targeted Snowman cleanup later. Your snowman total is under Progress > Stats > Blizzard Mountain.

#Forzathon See You Horizon Boss

Do not grind this yet. The 1,500 target can be advanced by completed races and Kangaroo Skills. A Kangaroo is three Air skills in quick succession, so bumpy fields, rough Outback terrain, and Hot Wheels jumps produce them naturally.

#Forzathon The Final Tour

Do not grind this yet. The 2,000 target can be advanced by completed races and Hot Wheels Skills. Finish the Hot Wheels expansion before deciding whether any dedicated skill farming is still necessary.

#Forzathon And Thanks For All The Drifts

Do not grind this yet. The 2,500 target can be advanced by completed races and Ultimate Skills. Because almost every part of this guide produces races and high-tier skills, this is usually one of the last counters to assess rather than one of the first to farm.

Australia — Second Festival and Core Systems

Open the Outback First

When the game lets you choose the next festival site, use the Outback as the canonical CompletionLab route. Other orders work, but the Outback brings the Airstrip, wide open PR-Stunt terrain, buggies, and several achievement setups into play early.

Bushcraft

Open the Outback Festival when the expansion choice becomes available.

Drive to the Music You Love

After the second festival opens, accept enough additional radio stations to have four available. The achievement unlocks when the fourth station is signed.

Like a Needle in The Outback

When the first Barn Find rumor appears, enter the purple search area and locate the barn. Use Drone Mode if needed. Barn rumors arrive through normal progression, so investigate them as they appear.

Drop in the Bucket

Complete five official Horizon Bucket List challenges. Do nearby ones as you travel rather than making a separate loop.

Throwdown

At a Bucket List Blueprint point, create your own challenge and complete it. Use an easy objective so there is no reason to revisit it.

Eat My Dust

Start Convoy Races whenever your Drivatar convoy is active and complete ten of them. The displayed requirement is completion, not wins, so finishing ten races is the safe target.

Totally meant to do that...

Use any Buggy and land a Barrel Roll. The Outback's ramps and uneven terrain make this easy: clip a ramp with only the wheels on one side so the car rotates once and lands on its wheels.

Championships, Street Racing, and Online Systems

Champ

Create or select your first Championship once Championships are available and win the overall series. Later championship cleanup only requires completion, but this first achievement specifically requires the win.

Tonight We Ride

Enter a Street Race and finish first. Only a few Street Races are open at first; more unlock after you complete 50 free-roam Head-to-Head races against Drivatars. The fastest way is challenging Drivatars on the Airstrip heading west. Keep completing new Street Races as they unlock because they feed the Midnight Battle chain. Head-to-Heads and Street Races pay no fans.

I'll Just Take This Now

Progress Street Races until the first Midnight Battle becomes available, then win it. One Midnight Battle unlocks for every four Street Race wins. Midnight Battles are head-to-head special races and must eventually all be won for Street Racing Champion.

Community Crusher

Complete ten player-created Bucket List Blueprints. Repeating your own Blueprint does not count, but successfully replaying the same community Bucket List ten times does. The most dependable option is the Leader of the Pack community Bucket List at the Apostles Overlook Bucket List Blueprint point, south-east of the map and north of Byron Bay: reach 193 mph in the W Motors Lykan HyperSport through the speed trap without using Rewind. If it is offered at that point, complete it ten times; only successful completions count. If it is not offered, use any other player's Bucket List Blueprint there or elsewhere.

Welcome to Horizon Online

Complete five online events across Online Adventure and Online Freeroam. Winning is not required. Progress registers when an event finishes and the lobby returns players to free roam.

Online Adventurer

Continue to 25 completed online events across Adventure and Freeroam. If public matchmaking is thin, coordinate with another Xbox player and use short Freeroam events; the requirement is cumulative and does not require wins.

Bring a Friend

Complete one event in Co-op Campaign with another player. Any normal campaign event is enough.

Road Buddy

Continue Co-op Campaign until you have completed ten events. Use short Exhibitions rather than long championships if you are boosting only the counter.

Auction Fever

Win or buy out any car in the Auction House, then resolve the auction and add the car to your garage. The garage collection step is the actual completion point. Auction House availability is not confirmed, so do this as soon as you can open it. If the tab is greyed out, check again on another day.

5 Star Seller - A+++++

Sell five cars through the Auction House and resolve each successful sale so the credits are collected. A boosting partner or second account makes this much faster; merely listing a car does not count. Do it early alongside Auction Fever, for the same service-availability reason.

Ooh, Shiny!

Obtain any Horizon Edition car. Wheelspins can award one naturally; if the Auction House is functioning, buying one and resolving it into your garage is the practical fallback.

Staying Connected

Open the Pause Menu and press RB until you reach the Forza Hub tab, then open it. The old Hub destination may fail to load, so stay on the tab, return to the game, and allow time for the achievement notification before assuming it failed. Current reliability is not confirmed, so do this early.

Skills, Leveling, and Garage Setup

Mini Boss

Reach driver level 20. This comes naturally while completing the early career.

Art Director

Create a paint or vinyl and save it to the car, then make a genuine change in the Tuning tab such as tire pressure and save the tuning setup to the car; upgrades do not count. Next, unlock Horizon Promo in the skill tree for 6 Skill Points: Drone Mode (1), the Hornet import (2), and Horizon Promo (3). Then take a photo to start the Promo career; the achievement usually pops on that first photo.

Perks of the Job

Earn Skill Points and buy through one Skill Shop page until you obtain one of its reward cars. The achievement triggers when the car reward is obtained.

I Want It All

Buy every permanent perk on all Skill Shop pages, including the reward cars. Temporary perks are excluded: any perk that shows a repeat-use counter is temporary and can be skipped. Not every top row is permanent; on the Instant Rewards page the top row is permanent and required, while repeatable perks elsewhere are not.

KNOWN BUG: tracking can stall at about 95% even after the shop appears complete. Low-cost tries first: verify every permanent tile and all reward cars, restart the game, earn another Skill Point, and purchase another perk. If that fails, the only reported working fix is a fresh local save. Confirm your cloud save is synced and safe, delete the local save, and start a new game with cloud sync cancelled, then re-earn perks until it pops. Afterwards, restore the original cloud save. Do this only after everything else is done, and only if you understand the risk.

High Roller

When you have spare credits, buy a car costing at least 1,000,000 Credits directly from the Autoshow. Auction House purchases do not count. The Lamborghini Centenario is a valid choice if you also want a car for Forza First.

Australia — Open the Full Map

Surfers Paradise and Yarra Valley

Use the next festival expansion for Surfers Paradise and the final new site for Yarra Valley. Continue completing newly revealed Exhibitions as each festival levels up; do not start the 63-route championship grind yet.

Racer's Paradise

Open the Surfers Paradise Festival.

Screaming through the Valley

Open the Yarra Valley Festival.

PR Stunts and Exploration as the Map Fills In

Starstruck

Earn at least 1 star on 50 different PR Stunts. Take the easy star whenever you pass a new stunt; there is no reason to force 3 stars immediately if your current car is poorly suited.

Clever Girl!

Use the 2017 Ford Raptor, not the older SVT Raptor, and earn 3 stars on five different PR Stunts. Mix easy Danger Signs, Speed Traps, Speed Zones, or Drift Zones rather than forcing one difficult type.

Underdog

Earn 3 stars on any PR Stunt while driving a C Class car. Pick a forgiving Speed Trap or Speed Zone and tune only within C Class.

Throw Your Weight Around

Earn 3 stars on a Drift Zone in a car weighing at least 2,500 kg. Build a heavy vehicle with enough power to maintain the drift, then use a wide, forgiving zone.

Fly Like a Regal

After the Reliant Supervan is available, take it to the Airstrip Danger Sign and jump at least 300 feet. Upgrade the Supervan for speed and approach in a straight line; the landing does not need to be elegant.

Life's a Drag

At the Airstrip Car Meet in Online Freeroam, complete a drag race in each required car class. The drag showdown is against another human player, so bring a partner or join a populated session; if a race is already running, wait for it to finish. X Class is not required. Complete D, C, B, A, S1, and S2. If an X Class drag race is available while you are there, running it too is cheap insurance.

Spoiler Alert

Fit at least one Rocket Bunny part and at least one Liberty Walk part. No single car supports both brands, so use two compatible cars. The rear wing alone (about 200 CR) is enough from each brand. Liberty Walk options include the 2014 BMW M4, 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia, and 2012 Nissan GT-R Black Edition; Rocket Bunny options include the 2013 Subaru BRZ, 2013 Toyota GT86, and 1993 Nissan 240SX.

Backpacker

Visit all 13 Australia Beauty Spots: Byron Bay, Maroondah Waterfall, The Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road, Glass House Mountain, Maroondah Rainforest, Maroondah Reservoir, The Outback, Pink Lakes, Ormiston Gorge, Parkes Satellite Array, Surfers Paradise, and Silver Sands Shipwrecks. Each shows as a purple marker on the map; drive up and press X to view it. The achievement triggers after the final viewing, so tick the names off as you go.

Who's Hiding These?

Smash all 150 reward boards in Australia: 100 XP boards and 50 Fast Travel boards. The map does not reliably show boards you have not found. The Treasure Map add-on reveals every board, Beauty Spot, and Barn Find in Australia and both expansions, but it was delisted; if you owned it, its markers make this a simple sweep. Without it, collect boards as you drive and expect the last ones to be hidden in caves, on rooftops, in woods, and along rivers. Known awkward ones include two XP boards on the coastal rocks east of the Rainforest (one is a 20,000 XP board), which need a fast car and a clean jump; a 20,000 XP board hidden inside a tunnel; and a Fast Travel board inside a shack that a wide car cannot fit into. Progress > Stats counts XP boards (by category) and Fast Travel boards separately, so check there which type you are still missing. For the final sweep, work region by region with Drone Mode to scan rooftops and off-road pockets, and leave this until the full map is open and you have fast cars and Fast Travel.

I Know These Roads

Drive all 488 roads in Australia. Most will fill naturally while following the route. For final cleanup, turn off map icons and inspect tiny pale road fragments, dashed farm drives, alleys, and short connectors hidden beneath event markers.

KNOWN BUG: the stat or achievement can lag at completion. Drive another short road segment, switch the map filter to Routes and back, restart the game, and allow Xbox achievement sync time before trying anything more invasive.

PR Superstar

Earn 3 stars on every base-game PR Stunt in Australia. Wait until the full map is open and use purpose-built cars for speed, drift, and jumps; this is a final-map cleanup task, not an early-career requirement.

Bucket Lists, Barn Finds, and Street-Race Cleanup

Life Complete

Complete all 30 official Australia Horizon Bucket List challenges. More appear as the career advances, so finish the list only after the map is fully developed.

KNOWN BUG: Bucket List #19 may not register when the game uses Imperial units. Switch Units to Metric in settings before attempting it. Doing the remaining official Bucket Lists in solo free roam is also a sensible precaution.

Relic Hunter

Find and collect every Australia Barn Find after each rumor appears, then wait for restoration and claim each repaired car from the garage. The achievement needs the 15 standard Australia Barn Finds; the achievement triggers after the final restored car is collected. Extra time-limited Barn Finds from old #Forzathon events are not required. If the achievement does not pop, count your 15 restored cars in the garage, collect any car still waiting, then restart the game and allow sync time. Stuck progress has been reported; the fresh-save method under I Want It All is the only last-resort option, and it is not confirmed for this achievement.

Street Racing Champion

Win all 16 Street Races and all 4 Midnight Battles. If Street Races stop appearing, finish the 50 Head-to-Heads that unlock the rest. The final Midnight Battle is very hard, so bring a high-S2 or X Class build. Verify every Midnight Battle is won before moving on.

Forza First

At 5,000,000 fans, the High Rise Rush Showcase lets you race the Lamborghini Centenario without buying it. Win that Showcase for the cleanest unlock. A normal race win in an owned Centenario (about 2.2–2.3 million CR) also satisfies the requirement.

Australia — Final Festival and Race-Route Cleanup

Fan Milestones and Festival Upgrades

Maxed Out

Fully upgrade any one festival site to level 5. Concentrate early upgrades in one site if you want this sooner; all four eventually need level 5.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS

Perform ten festival upgrades across the four sites. This is cumulative and arrives naturally while pushing toward the final festival levels.

Best. Horizon. Ever.

At 10,000,000 fans, the Final Showcase unlocks. Complete the event normally.

Like a Boss

Reach 25,000,000 fans and fully upgrade all four festival sites to level 5. Use the remaining Exhibitions, PR Stunts, Bucket Lists, and championships to earn the fans rather than grinding one event repeatedly.

KNOWN BUG: the tracker can stop at 87–93% with all four sites at level 5. Low-cost tries first: confirm all four sites are level 5, complete another fan-paying event (Head-to-Heads and Street Races pay no fans), restart the game, and wait for Xbox sync. If it still fails, the only reported working fix is the same fresh-save method described under I Want It All. Restore the original cloud save afterwards.

Final Boss

Reach driver level 150. The 63 Exhibitions, 63 championship starters, expansions, and online requirements supply enough experience for this naturally in most completion runs; leave any XP farming until everything else is done.

Every Australia Race Route

Exhibition Expert

Complete an Exhibition at every race route. There are 63 routes. You do not need to win. For circuits, Blueprint one lap when the rules allow it.

KNOWN BUG: completed routes have sometimes displayed as complete while the tracker lags. Filter the map to Routes only and recheck for a route hidden by another icon; Rolling Meadows Circuit near the Yarra Valley festival is a commonly missed one. If all 63 are truly complete, replay one short Exhibition and allow time for sync before considering any save-based workaround.

Horizon Hardcore

Complete a Championship starting at every one of the 63 Australia race routes. Winning the overall championship is not required. Blueprint each starter into the shortest legal three-event championship you can make, favoring one-lap circuits for the other races, and work route by route so no starter is skipped.

Aussie Rules!

Create and complete a Championship featuring only Australian cars. For one of the championship starters, set the Blueprint car theme to Aussie Rules, which is the Australian-cars restriction, and complete the championship. You may need to buy an Australian car first.

This. Is. FORZA!

Create and complete a Championship containing at least 100 miles of racing across 10 events. Include at least two circuits set to 15–25 laps each to clear the distance, and confirm the Blueprint summary shows 10 events and more than 100 miles before starting. You only need to complete the championship, and you can finish it across sessions as long as you do not start another championship in between.

Endurance Hero

Create a single Exhibition on a short circuit with 25 laps, Rolling time progression, and Pro Drivatar difficulty, then complete all 25 laps. You do not need to win. Coober Pedy Scramble is a practical short course once the Outback is fully available.

Hoonigan Car Pack — Australia Cleanup

Use the Fully Open Australia Map

Do the Hoonigan pack after the base map is fully open so every required Street Race, Drift Zone, and Danger Sign is available. The pack has seven cars and ten achievements. Collect each owned Hoonigan car from the Autoshow or your garage before starting.

Send It!

Drive the 1991 Hoonigan Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsche 911 Turbo and earn 3 stars on the Hillside Drift Zone. Disable traction and stability control if the car keeps straightening itself.

Flight Of The Hoonicorn

Drive the 1965 Hoonigan Ford "Hoonicorn" Mustang and earn 3 stars on the Surfers Park Danger Sign. Build for acceleration and top speed, then use a clean straight approach.

Land, Sea And Air

In the 1979 Hoonigan ‘Loki’ K5 Blazer, earn 3 stars at the Gold Mine, Shipwreck, and Airport Danger Signs. The Airport jump is the hard one; maximize speed, keep steering inputs small on the approach, and use Rewind to refine the launch without repeating the drive-in.

Light The Tires

Win any Street Race while driving the 1972 Hoonigan Chevrolet "Napalm Nova". Pick a short Street Race you already know and lower Drivatar difficulty if needed.

Born to Hoon

Earn 3 stars on 20 PR Stunt completions while driving any Hoonigan Pack car. Repeating the same qualifying PR Stunt counts, including by using Rewind after a 3-star Danger Sign, so first complete the three Hoonigan-specific PR achievements and then repeat an easy stunt such as the Rainforest Danger Sign for the remainder.

Rockin' Horse

Perform 25 Ultimate Drift Skills in the 1992 Hoonigan Mazda RX-7 Twerkstallion. Use a wide open road or the Airstrip and sustain normal drift skills until they reach Ultimate; E-Drift skills are a different skill and should not be relied on.

Got That Swagger

In the 1978 Hoonigan Ford Escort RS 1800, build and bank one 300,000-point skill chain. A Skill Song makes the multiplier climb faster; use open terrain and mix drifts, speed, air, and wreckage without crashing.

Squashed Banana

While driving any Hoonigan Pack car, keep a skill chain active and smash the specific banana sign that triggers the Fruit Salad skill. It sits in a lay-by in front of a farm near the Yarra Valley festival, on the road heading east. Drift into it at high speed so the chain is active on impact. If the sign is already broken, enter and exit a festival hub to respawn it.

Air Sick

Complete one game of Infected while driving the 1955 Hoonigan Chevrolet Bel Air. This is an online requirement, and public Infected lobbies are effectively empty, so arrange a partner and launch it together in Online Freeroam; the game only needs to finish.

A Complete Hoonatic

Complete a Championship in each of the seven Hoonigan Pack cars. Winning is not required. Start each one from a different Australia race route you still need for Horizon Hardcore, so all seven also count toward that achievement; a short three-event Blueprint that includes the starting route is enough.

Keep a written seven-car checklist. If the achievement does not pop after all seven, restart the game and allow sync time before replaying cars. Coober Pedy Trail, Coober Pedy Scramble, and Cross Track Scramble are good short Outback starters.

Blizzard Mountain — King of the Mountain

Arrival and Early Rounds

Welcome to Base Camp

Travel to Blizzard Mountain and open the expansion's festival site. The achievement unlocks during the arrival sequence.

Just Getting STARted

Earn your first Blizzard Mountain star from any race or PR Stunt.

Triple Star Performance

Earn all 3 stars at one Blizzard Mountain race route. Pick an early route whose bonus objective matches your driving style and meet both the finishing-position and bonus conditions.

The Ice Breaker

Complete any official Blizzard Mountain Bucket List challenge once one is available. More Bucket Lists unlock as your star total rises, so there is no need to force the hardest one first.

Snow and Tell

At a Blizzard Mountain Bucket List Blueprint point, create (Blueprint) your own challenge. Creating the Blueprint is the trigger; completing it afterwards is harmless.

Frozen in Time

When the Blizzard Mountain Barn Find rumor appears, locate the barn, then restore and collect the International Harvester Scout 800A. The rumor appears as you progress through King of the Mountain, so check it when the game announces it. The barn is in the top-left of the map, just below the main road. You can wait for the restoration or pay 40,000 CR at the festival to finish it immediately.

Ding Ding

Continue earning stars from races, PR Stunts, and Bucket Lists until you reach Round 2 of King of the Mountain. Races award 1 star for finishing, 2 for finishing first, and 3 for finishing first and meeting the bonus objective.

Final Bout

Keep earning stars until the final King of the Mountain round becomes available. The Kingmaker appears at roughly 100 stars. Win it as soon as it unlocks (Hail to the King), because it awards the Focus RS RX; then keep going, because Going Supernova requires all 160 stars.

Expansion Cars and Car Challenges

Several expansion cars are free in the Autoshow on arrival, and others are bought there. Open the Autoshow, choose DLC Cars, then View All Cars. The required cars do not appear in the normal View All list. The Ford GYMKHANA 9 Focus RS RX is the exception: it is not reliably offered there, and winning the Kingmaker awards it, so All Downhill from Here is routed after Hail to the King.

What's "Safety"?

In the 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Group 4, jump more than 825 feet from the Hot Springs Danger Sign, which becomes available at 60 stars. Build for speed and make the approach as straight as possible.

Slip Sliding

In the 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Group B, score at least 35,000 points in a single Blizzard Mountain Drift Zone. Disable traction and stability control and choose a zone with enough room to link drifts.

Snowdown

In the 2016 Nissan Titan Warrior Concept, smash ten snowmen on Blizzard Mountain. Snowmen respawn after reloading or revisiting, so you can reuse a convenient cluster.

Personally, I Prefer the Air

In the RJ Anderson #37 Pro 2 Truck, perform ten Ultimate Air skills on Blizzard Mountain. Use the larger snowbanks and jumps and make sure the skill text reaches Ultimate Air before counting the attempt.

It's Still Got It!

Win a Blizzard-weather race in the 1966 Ford F-100 Flareside Abatti Racing Trophy Truck. Blueprint a King of the Mountain race with Blizzard weather if you do not encounter the condition naturally.

Snowboating

In the 2016 Subaru #199 WRX STI VT15r Rally Car, build and bank a single 100,000-point skill chain on Blizzard Mountain. Mix drifting, air, and wreckage in an open area and stop safely once the total is high enough.

Gliding it Home

Win any King of the Mountain race without Snow Tires equipped. Blizzard Mountain is always snowy, and Rally or Offroad tires are automatically converted to Snow Tires there. Fit a Street or Sport compound instead, pick a manageable route, and lower Drivatar difficulty if needed. Check the car's tire setup before entering.

Needs More Blizzard

Blueprint a King of the Mountain race, set the weather to Blizzard, and complete the race. This pairs naturally with It's Still Got It! if you use the required Ford trophy truck and win.

Everyday I'm Shovellin'

Complete all seven official Blizzard Mountain Bucket Lists. The last challenges unlock through star progression, with the final set available by the late campaign, so finish this during the push toward 160 stars.

Snowboarding

Smash all 25 Blizzard Mountain Bonus Boards. Undiscovered boards are not reliably shown on the map unless you own the Treasure Map; Progress > Stats shows how many you have smashed. Smash boards as you pass them during the star push, then sweep the mountain section by section with Drone Mode once all roads and event routes are open.

Winter Wonderland

View all 5 Blizzard Mountain Beauty Spots. Each appears as a purple marker; drive up and press X to view it, and count to five as you go during the star and road cleanup.

Still Never Found That Yeti

Drive every road in Blizzard Mountain. Finish the race and championship routes first, then use a clean map filter to find the remaining pale road fragments.

Going Supernova

Earn all 160 possible Blizzard Mountain stars. This means fully clearing the star objectives across the expansion rather than merely reaching the Kingmaker at roughly 100.

Blizzard Mountain has 26 King of the Mountain races plus the Kingmaker, 7 Bucket Lists, 5 Danger Signs, 6 Speed Traps, 6 Speed Zones, and 6 Drift Zones.

KNOWN BUG: completion can stick at 96% or the star count can lag when everything appears done. Replay the Kingmaker or a race you only 1-starred, then restart the game and allow sync time.

And Long May They Reign

Complete every King of the Mountain race. The in-game count is 26 race completions. Three-starring them is useful for Going Supernova but not required for this achievement itself. If it does not pop after all 26, finish one more race and allow sync time.

Kingmaker and Championship Cleanup

Hail to the King

Win the Kingmaker once it unlocks at the end of the King of the Mountain progression. Use your best snow-capable build and lower Drivatar difficulty if necessary.

All Downhill from Here

Use the 2016 Ford GYMKHANA 9 Focus RS RX, awarded for winning the Kingmaker (if it already appears in the Autoshow DLC Cars list, you can do this earlier), and finish a Mountain Rush Descent in under 2 minutes. The race is at the top right of the map; turn stability control off. Take a clean run, use Rewind on major mistakes, and favor stability over sliding.

It's Not Over

Complete any Blizzard Mountain Championship. Winning is not required.

Mountain Mastery

Complete every Blizzard Mountain Championship: 27 starters, one from each of the 26 King of the Mountain routes plus one starting at the Kingmaker route. Blueprint short championships and favor one-lap circuits for the extra events. If your stats show 27/27 Championships but the achievement has not popped, check on the map that every starter route, especially the Kingmaker, shows as completed, replay the Kingmaker Championship, then restart the game and allow sync time before considering any save workaround.

Blizzard Mountain Online

Ice to See You

Complete five Blizzard Mountain races in Co-op Campaign. Use a partner and select short routes. The description only asks for completion, but a team win is reported to be safer, so aim to win as a team (lower Drivatar difficulty) for cheap insurance.

Chillin' With Friends

Complete 20 online races across Online Freeroam and Online Adventure while on Blizzard Mountain. Public population is thin, so boosting with another Xbox player is the practical route. If the tracker appears frozen, allow sync time and restart the game before repeating a large batch.

Hot Wheels — Medal Progression

B Class Arrival

Welcome to Horizon Hot Wheels

Travel to the Hot Wheels expansion and complete the opening drive into the festival.

The Upside Down

Complete your first Hot Wheels race. Winning is not required for this achievement, but take the win when practical because medals drive expansion progression.

Track Builder

At a Hot Wheels event, use Stunt Swap Blueprint to replace one stunt piece with another, then complete the event. The swap must actually be used in the Blueprint.

Leadin' The Way

Earn all 3 medals at a single Hot Wheels race route. Each race has three medal objectives; choose an early route with easy secondary targets and clear all three.

Founding Year

Complete any Hot Wheels race in a car built in 1968. Blueprint an easy B Class event if necessary so the eligible car fits the event restrictions.

Challenge Accepted

Complete one official Hot Wheels Bucket List challenge when the first one becomes available.

Treasure Hunter

Smash all 25 Hot Wheels reward boards. Undiscovered boards are not reliably shown without the Treasure Map. Nearly all sit on the ground beside or below the tracks; one sits on top of a track section. Commonly missed ones are the board in a concealed cave, the one directly underneath the Byron Bay map icon, and the one below the Tidal Teeth track. A board can also look smashed without registering; if your count does not go up, reload the game and the board will be back to smash again. Collect boards while progressing and sweep the off-track ground areas with Drone Mode at the end.

A Class and S1 Class

Speed Boost!

Reach 5 total medals to unlock A Class events.

Floor It!

Continue clearing race medals, PR Stunts, and Bucket Lists until you reach 25 medals and unlock S1 Class events.

Collector's Edition

When the Hot Wheels Barn Find rumor appears, locate the barn, wait for the 1932 Ford De Luxe Five-Window Coupe to be restored, and collect it. You will need this car later for Wild Card!.

Putting that power to good use

In the Hot Wheels Twin Mill, score more than 50,000 points in one Hot Wheels Drift Zone. A long zone such as Sidewinder is forgiving, and about 60,000 there also earns all 3 medals; turn off traction and stability control.

Bones Shaken

In the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker, jump more than 500 feet from a Hot Wheels Danger Sign. Build for speed and use a straight, stable approach.

Drifts for Days

In the Hot Wheels Ford Mustang, perform five Hot Wheels Drift skills. These are drifts held longer than an Ultimate Drift, not simply five ordinary drifts, so hold each drift until the Hot Wheels Drift text appears. A Drift Zone is not needed. A half-pipe at the north end of the map works with a stock S1 Mustang, and Rewind lets you re-trigger the skill.

Jeep Trick

In the 2016 Jeep Trailcat, perform ten Ultimate Loop-the-Loop skills. Reuse a convenient loop and carry enough speed to keep the car planted through the full rotation.

S2 Class and 100-Medal Finale

Hope You Can Handle It

Reach 60 medals to unlock S2 Class events. Keep prioritizing three-medal race clears and easy PR Stunts instead of grinding one activity type.

Ultimate Zen

Use the 2016 Zenvo ST1 and finish High Speed Highway in under 2 minutes. High Speed Highway becomes available at 80 medals. A Blueprint with Stunt Swap pieces changed to Boost Jumps makes the time much easier, and the optional Pull Rank perk lets you start ahead of the field. A strong S2 build and clean boost sections matter more than risky wall contact; use Rewind on a missed jump or major slowdown.

Totally meant to do that too!

Land a Barrel Roll in the 2007 Toyota Arctic Trucks Hilux AT38. Clip the side of a jump or track edge with two wheels and land on the tires.

CHARGE!

In the 1972 Chrysler VH Valiant Charger R/T, pass through a Hot Wheels Speed Trap at 200 MPH or faster. Upgrade for top speed and use the longest straight approach available.

Wild Card!

After the Hot Wheels Barn Find is restored, upgrade the 1932 Ford De Luxe Five-Window Coupe into S1 Class and win an S1 race. Keep the build within S1; an S2 race does not satisfy the displayed requirement.

Death Defying

Complete all five official Hot Wheels Bucket List challenges. They unlock as medal progression advances, so finish the set before the 100-medal finale.

Hot Wheels Stunt Master

Earn 3 medals on every Hot Wheels Danger Sign, Speed Zone, Speed Trap, and Drift Zone. Use the map filters by stunt type so none are hidden under race icons.

Track Star

Collect all 177 Hot Wheels medals. Clear every race medal, every PR-Stunt medal, and every Bucket List medal before treating the expansion as finished.

Hot Wheels Hardcore

Complete all 27 regular Hot Wheels races. You do not need to win, and one medal per race is enough. The Goliath is separate and is needed for Hot Wheels Champion anyway; if this does not pop after the 27, completing the Goliath is the safe follow-up.

Hot Wheels Champion

At 100 medals the Ultimate Hot Wheels Finale, Goliath, becomes available. Win Goliath to become Hot Wheels Champion.

Post-Goliath Cleanup

Hot Lap

Replay the Hot Wheels Goliath in the 2010 Pagani Zonda R and finish in under 06:30.000. A Blueprint with Stunt Swap pieces changed to Boost Jumps makes the time much easier, and the optional Pull Rank perk lets you start ahead of the field. Use a high-performance build, Rewind major crashes, and prioritize clean boost-pad lines.

Orange is the New Track

Discover all 141 Hot Wheels roads. Complete the races and championships first because they cover most of the map, then hide map icons and inspect loop segments, half-pipes, junctions, and short orange track pieces. If you are stuck at 140/141, the commonly missed piece is the loop above and slightly right of Stratospheric Slingshot.

Time To Get Serious

After completing Goliath, start and complete your first Hot Wheels Championship. Winning is not required.

Higher, Farther, Faster

Complete every Hot Wheels Championship after Goliath unlocks them: 28 starters, one from each race route including the Goliath route. Use short custom Blueprints and one-lap circuits where possible.

Master of Friendship

Complete 20 online races across Hot Wheels Online Adventure, Co-op, or Freeroam. Winning is not required. With the current small population, schedule a boosting partner on Xbox and use short races rather than relying on public matchmaking.

Final Stat and Service Cleanup

Finish the Four Permanent #Forzathon Counters

The four #Forzathon achievements went live in February 2019 and are retroactive: earlier races and skills count, and an already-met requirement pops when the game loads. Their displayed descriptions use "or." Race completions and the named skill type are reported to count together toward each threshold, and either route alone is also enough. The game has no verified progress display for these, so judge progress by your race and skill stats.

Check achievement progress only after finishing Australia, Blizzard Mountain, Hot Wheels, Hoonigan, the 63 base championships, and the expansion championships. That work contributes hundreds of races and thousands of high-tier skills, dramatically reducing the cleanup.

Efficient Remaining Grinds

  • For #Forzathon Cleaning Up The Festival, use Blizzard Mountain snowmen if the 1,000 combined counter is still short. Replay Blizzard Mountain Bucket List #4 (unlocked at 30 stars), which asks for 20 snowmen in 2 minutes, and restart it at 19/20 to skip the reward screens. That is faster than manufacturing hundreds of extra races.
  • For #Forzathon See You Horizon Boss, drive repeatedly over bumpy fields, rough Outback terrain, or Hot Wheels jumps to chain three quick Air skills (Kangaroo) until the 1,500 combined counter finishes. Farming Hot Wheels Skills earns Kangaroos at the same time.
  • For #Forzathon The Final Tour, Hot Wheels-only skills such as Speed Boost and Loop-the-Loop count. The fastest farm is the Half Pipe Climb circuit in Thrill City (south-west of the Beach Blast Danger Sign). Blueprint it in the Hot Wheels Campaign, use Stunt Swap to turn a stunt after the half-pipe into a Boost Jump, and start the race. After the left turn past the half-pipe, hit the speed boost, the jump, and the next speed boost; when the second Speed Boost skill pops, rewind three times and repeat. Driving through the speed boost into the loop at the Skyscraper Heights Drift Zone is a slower alternative.
  • For #Forzathon And Thanks For All The Drifts, repeatedly earn easy Ultimate Speed, Drift, Air, or Wreckage skills in free roam until the 2,500 combined counter finishes.

If a #Forzathon tracker appears stuck, trigger one fresh qualifying race or skill, return to free roam, restart the game, and allow Xbox achievement sync time.

100 Percent Verification

Before calling the completion finished, compare the in-game and Xbox lists. Where to check progress: the Xbox achievement page shows progress for counted achievements; Progress > Stats has race totals (General) and snowman totals (Blizzard Mountain tab); Progress > Horizon Promo lists photographed cars; the map, filtered by event type, shows remaining races, PR Stunts, and Bucket Lists in each region; Barn Finds are checked by counting restored cars in your garage; board counts (XP and Fast Travel boards) are in Progress > Stats. You should have 135 of 135 achievements and 3,000 of 3,000 Gamerscore. If an activity statistic is complete but its achievement is not, use the specific low-cost retrigger described above before repeating a long grind.
