Forza Horizon 6 Save File Bug Deletes Progress Without Warning
GAMES

Players report that Forza Horizon 6 deletes entire save files without warning. The issue affects both Xbox and PC versions of the game developed by Playground Games. Players have identified several potential triggers for this data loss, including the use of Xbox Quick Resume, cloud sync conflicts, and modifications to specific vehicles.

Players report critical data loss affecting Xbox and PC versions of the racing title

The bug impacts core gameplay progression on Microsoft platforms. Affected vehicles include the 2003 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and the 1993 Schuppan 962CR. Players are currently advised to manually back up their save files to prevent permanent loss of progress.

Support teams may be able to restore lost inventory items, but they cannot recover campaign progression data. Modifying certain vehicles might trigger this bug, though developers have not officially confirmed that specific connection. Because developers have not confirmed specific triggers, players remain uncertain about which modifications might endanger their save files.

PC Gamer and Dexerto reported these findings from player communities. These reports indicate a serious technical issue affecting a prominent racing game. The development team needs to address these issues promptly to stop additional save file losses on Xbox and PC.

Playground Games must resolve the issue as users experience lost progress across different gaming systems. Developers should investigate potential causes such as Xbox Quick Resume usage, cloud synchronization problems, and in-game vehicle changes. Users are advised to manually copy their save data locally while waiting for an official solution from the developers.
