A major leak has occurred on the Internet. Files for the racing simulator Forza Horizon 6, totaling 155 GB, were stolen. The incident was caused by an error downloading the pre-installation files on Steam, which resulted in the data not being properly encrypted. The project's official release is scheduled for May 19, 2026, but the full version of the game has already been publicly available more than a week before its release.
Developers from Playground Games and Microsoft responded promptly to the distribution of the unauthorized build. According to incoming data from specialized discussions All users who launched Forza Horizon 6 before the official release and went online will be permanently banned. This penalty includes a complete hardware ban, making it impossible to launch any online services on the banned device, even after purchasing a licensed copy.
The tracking system automatically records the hardware identifiers of computers attempting to connect to servers or any network activity in the unreleased game. The developers strongly recommend waiting for the official release date and not attempting to bypass the protection. Attempting to use third-party accounts will not help avoid punishment, as the ban applies directly to the physical components of your personal computer.
