Overview
- A full PC build of Forza Horizon 6 leaked over the weekend, with roughly 155GB compiled into cracked copies that spread on piracy sites as gameplay clips appeared on social platforms.
- Playground Games confirmed the leak on Monday and said it is issuing strict penalties for anyone using the unauthorized build, including bans that apply across all Forza games and to specific hardware.
- SteamDB said the game was very likely leaked by someone with early access, such as a reviewer, and explained that a public file list appeared after someone used its token dumper while the site provides no downloads or keys.
- Eurogamer verified a screenshot showing a player banned until December 31, 9999 after connecting with the leaked build, illustrating that accounts and even devices can be locked out long term.
- The release plan remains unchanged with Premium Edition early access on May 15 and full launch on May 19, as Microsoft moves to remove leaked videos and discourages players from seeking the unauthorized version.
