The third week of the High-Performance Dailies playlist begins in Horizon Mexico on August 27, 2026. It remains active until September 3, 2026 and offers 3 car rewards spread across several point thresholds in the Forza Horizon 5 playlist.
The first tier is set at 20 points. It unlocks the 2023 Ford Fiesta ST, described as a car that can be unlocked, driven and customized. This threshold is the clearest early objective in the rotation, while the next two rewards require longer progression.
Forza Horizon 5 playlist rewards reach 160 points
The 2023 BMW M2 appears at the 80-point tier. The 2023 Lucid Air then closes out the main progression at 160 points. The gap between these thresholds gives the week a clear structure: earning the Fiesta requires reaching the first level, while the BMW M2 and Lucid Air represent a significantly greater investment in playlist activities.
The publication does, however, use two similar names for the first reward. The presentation refers to the 2023 Ford Fiesta ST, while the reward list mentions the 2023 Ford Fiesta. Nothing in the announcement confirms that these are two different cars. This distinction is therefore a useful limitation to keep in mind for players tracking their collection precisely.
The table also associates the 2023 Ford Fiesta with the spring's 20-point threshold and the 2016 Renault Clio R.S. 16 concept with the 40-point threshold. These details appear in the same presentation, but the available text does not provide a separate condition here that would allow the full activity breakdown behind those values to be reconstructed.
The Forza Horizon 5 official Steam announcement places this rotation within the game's ongoing schedule. For this specific week, the decisive information remains the activation dates and thresholds stated in the High-Performance Dailies publication.
Trial and PR Stunt events round out the Forza Horizon 5 playlist
The rewards are not limited to the series' point tiers. This week's Trial is associated with a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG. The PR Stunt events, meanwhile, offer 3 Super Wheelspins. These activities therefore add specific rewards to the main automotive progression.
The announcement does not specify all the detailed conditions for the Trial or the PR Stunt events here. The associated rewards can be identified, but it is not possible to describe a complete route or difficulty level from the published information alone. Players can nevertheless distinguish between two objectives: point thresholds for the cars and dedicated activities for the Trial and Super Wheelspins.
In practice, the tiers make it possible to measure the week's progress immediately. The 20-point threshold corresponds to the first announced car, the 80-point threshold to the BMW M2, and the 160-point threshold to the Lucid Air. This prevents the series rewards from being confused with those earned in the side events, whose full conditions are not reproduced in the announcement.
The game's Forza Horizon 5 Steam page thus retains one simple detail to verify: the rotation is temporary, and its rewards are tied to the period from August 27 to September 3, 2026. Once that window has passed, the announcement does not guarantee that the same thresholds or cars will remain available.
Key points
The 2023 Fiesta ST is the reward available at 20 points, the 2023 BMW M2 requires 80 points, and the 2023 Lucid Air requires 160. The Trial linked to the 2013 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG and the 3 PR Stunt Super Wheelspins round out the week, although not all of their conditions are specified here. The playlist remains active until September 3, 2026.
