Forza Horizon 3 takes Thanksgiving to the Australian Outbacks this week with a new Horizon Harvest Hangout event with four Thanksgiving themed challenges:

A Bountiful Harvest: Rack up 100,000 Landscaping Skill points while in a convoy to earn 10,000 XP

Gather For The Feast: Join and complete an Online Adventure in a Holden Sandman to earn 20,000 XP

Gobble, Gobble!: Join an Online Freeroam session to unlock 3 wheelspins

Food Fight!: Play in 20 Playground Games to win a Subaru BRAT GL Horizon Edition

XP is great and all, but it looks like grinding 20 Playground Games to win a badass Subaru BRAT is definitely the way to go – is there a better car to take on the Dry Reservoir and Yarra Valley?

Obviously, Black Friday is synonymous to Thanksgiving and a Black Friday-themed Forzathon is expected to offer a 30 percent discount across all cars. No doubt, players looking to purchase an extravagant supercar may have the extra boost they need to afford it.

Finally, there's still one more thing to celebrate about and that's the 15th anniversary of the original Microsoft Xbox console. To celebrate, Microsoft is giving Forza players a 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor with an Xbox anniversary livery. For players that purchased the Froza Horizon 3 VIP Package, you also receive a "Bonus Truck" with an alternate livery.
