Playground Games is shifting gears later this week to take you on a high-speed trip through the past forty years of automotive history.

After spending the last four weeks burning rubber exclusively in Japanese cars, it is time to open up the garage to something a bit more varied. Series 2 is right around the corner, and it brings a massive checklist of fresh reward cars, weekly map adjustments, and seasonal challenges.
I looked through the upcoming schedule so you can plan your garage space and points grinds accordingly. Here is exactly when the new series kicks off across global time zones and every vehicle you can earn along the way.
Global Release Times for Series 2
The new series officially starts on Thursday, June 18, at 7:30 AM PT. This kicks off the standard four-week seasonal rotation, starting immediately with the Summer season before cycling through Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Each phase changes the map conditions and drops a fresh batch of weekly challenges.
Before you sit around staring at a loading screen wondering why your playlist hasn’t updated, check the exact start time for your region in the breakdown below.

Horizon Decades Theme and Reward Cars
The core theme for this entire series is Horizon Decades, which shifts the spotlight across the past 40 years of car culture. Each individual week tackles a specific era, meaning Summer belongs to the 1980s, Autumn covers the 1990s, Winter jumps to the 2000s, and Spring wraps things up with the 2010s.
You can unlock a total of ten cars through the seasonal playlists over the course of the series, alongside four additional vehicles arriving via the Car Pass. To make sure you don’t miss out on the heavy hitters like the Lamborghini Countach or the Saleen S7, I put together the full reward schedule and point requirements.
