Wristbands

Wristbands are your Horizon Festival rank on Legend Island. You climb seven coloured tiers, from Rookie to Horizon Legend, and each new band opens up more of the festival. Here's every tier, what it unlocks, and the rewards.

What are wristbands?

Every time you rack up enough Horizon Festival points, the game pops a "New Wristband Unlocked!" milestone and bumps you to the next colour. The wristband is a literal status band your character wears, and it gates how much of the festival you can reach: higher bands open new events, areas, and the road to Legend Island.

There are seven ranks. The colour order and the access each one grants are confirmed in-game; the point thresholds, showcase events and car rewards below are community-reported and may shift with updates.

Good to know

How do I earn wristband points?

Festival points come from races and events across the map. Events flagged with the Horizon "H" icon push your wristband progress; community guides note street and cross-country races pay the most, with XP boards and Drift Zones topping you up early.

What's the highest wristband?

Gold, the Horizon Legend rank. Reaching it opens Legend Island and its events. Reported point requirement is about 32,500.

Do wristbands unlock cars?

Community guides report a car (or cars) tied to each tier, shown above where they match a car in Forza Horizon 6. This isn't officially confirmed yet, so it may change. Want the full emblem set instead? See the Badges page.
