The full version of Playground Games’ upcoming Forza Horizon 6 has leaked online over the weekend and has already been cracked by pirates. The download appeared on file sharing sites after some Steam users were allegedly able to obtain access to an unencrypted preload version of the game.
Forza Horizon 6 isn’t supposed to launch until May 19th on Xbox Series S / X and PC, but cracks to bypass online checks in the game are already widely available.
Reddit users first noticed that games files, totaling more than 150GB, had appeared online yesterday, before Reddit’s legal operations team removed the post.
Earlier this year a pre-release version of Death Stranding 2 on PC suffered a similar fate, after an encrypted Steam preload allowed someone to download and share the game. It’s not clear why both games were unencrypted during the Steam preload period, but we’ve reached out to Microsoft to comment on this latest Forza leak.
Forza Horizon 6 is set to debut next week and will see players exploring Japan and the neon lights and buildings of Tokyo. The game has the largest map in a Forza Horizon title , and will have more than 550 cars at launch. Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios are also working to bring Forza Horizon 6 to PS5 later this year.
