What is the Collection Journal?
The Collection Journal is a new progression system in Forza Horizon 6 that replaces the traditional linear achievement grind with a stamp-collecting inspired approach. As you play, you fill pages in your journal by completing themed collections.
How It Works
- Each page in the journal represents a themed collection (e.g., "Japanese Icons," "American Muscle," "Off-Road Heroes")
- Complete a collection by acquiring or achieving all items in that set
- Each completed page rewards you with stamps, XP, credits, and exclusive cars
- Full journals unlock special prestige rewards
