Here’s how to get the Gold Wristband and unlock Legend Island in Forza Horizon 6

There’s plenty to do in Forza Horizon 6, and if you want to stay focused on progressing through the ‘story’, reaching the sacred Legend Island is the pinnacle of the experience.

Naturally, you will have to put some serious work into getting there, and we’ve got the full lowdown on what you need to focus on.

Here’s what you need to do, as well as some tips on where you need to put your energy to get there that bit quicker.

How to unlock Legend Island in Forza Horizon 6

Before you even think about Legend Island, you’ll need to acquire the fancy Gold Wristband.

To have the opportunity to get it, you need to earn a whopping 32,500 Horizon Festival Points, which, if you’ve played through enough of the game already, you’ll know how big a task that is.

You’ll essentially have to finish first in most races, ensure you’re taking photos of basically every car, and do a plethora of stunts to even get close.

If you’re feeling a bit stuck in your progression, use the What’s Next feature. This points you toward events you still need to complete, saving you from staring at the map and drawing blanks as to where to go.

Once you do hit this total, though, you’ll unlock the Horizon Legend Event, which acts as the final gate before the game officially treats you like one of the Festival greats.

Complete that race, and you’ll earn the all-important Gold Wristband, gain Horizon Legend status, and finally unlock access to Legend Island.

Once Legend Island opens, you’ll gain access to new, tougher races, PR stunts, XP boards, and the second Horizon Festival outpost.

It’s the final area of the base game, built for those of you who have already proven you can handle Forza Horizon 6’s biggest challenges, providing that bit of aforementioned extra end-game stuff to do before any DLC content arrives.
