Microsoft's upcoming racing title, Forza Horizon 6, has appeared online approximately ten days before its scheduled launch. The PC version of the game is currently cracked and available for download on various websites. This early release represents a significant security breach for the publisher.
VGC review suggests high quality despite security incident
The leak appears to be legitimate based on player screenshots and videos shared online. The leading theory suggests that a developer uploaded an unencrypted pre-loaded version to Steam's backend. Microsoft has not officially confirmed the cause of the breach.
VGC reviewed a small taste of the leaked build and described the experience positively. The outlet stated that the game is on track to challenge Forza Horizon 5 for the top spot in open-world racing. They plan to publish a full review closer to the official release date.
Forza Horizon 6 is scheduled for general release on May 19. Premium Edition buyers received early access starting on May 15. VGC has not downloaded the leaked file to verify its validity and relies on third-party evidence.
The cracked version of the game may be unstable due to the nature of the leak. VGC noted that the rest of the game could match the quality of the small portion they played. Microsoft has not commented on the incident.
