Changelog · The Festival Keeps Building

What's new

Every user-visible thing that shipped, newest first. If you've been away a week, start here.

  1. The Forum Refuge

    The official Forza Forums close June 30 — so Discussions now have a proper front door. Long-form, searchable threads with permanent links, plus a guide for bringing your best posts over before the lights go out.

    Try it
  2. Hosting, explained

    A new page for organizers: what you get when you run your nights here — persistent event pages, RSVPs, push reminders, Discord auto-posts, and recaps. White-glove setup for your first room included.

    Try it
  3. Cleaner room directory

    Finished events and recurring templates no longer clutter the default view — /rooms now leads with what's live and what's next.

    Try it
  4. Your face, your call

    Upload a custom avatar that overrides the one your sign-in provider picked. Plus: sign in with a plain email magic link — no Discord or Microsoft account required.

    Try it
  5. The Tune Lab + Driver Academy

    Tunes are now searchable by how the car feels, with AI-written character notes. And the Driver Academy diagnoses what your car is doing wrong, then points at fixes and matching tunes.

    Try it
  6. Dope Spots

    Player-pinned in-game locations — photo overlooks, drift roads, meet pull-offs. Drop a pin where the light hits right.

    Try it
  7. Rooms respect your clock

    Daily recurrence for rooms, a searchable timezone picker for hosts, and zone-less rooms now display in your local time. Share links also unfurl with bespoke flyer thumbnails everywhere.

  8. FH6 launch broadcast

    A live countdown and news ticker carried the festival into Horizon 6 launch week.

    Try it
  9. Play Now + Horizon Passport

    The Drop-in Board shows who's online right now and what they're running. Your Passport collects badges, crews, and your garage showcase in one card.

    Try it
  10. Finish the session, bring the right car

    Hosts get recap pages with a best-photo and best-code pick, attendees get a bring-list so the convoy shows up prepared, and "Run it back" clones a finished night in one tap.
