Playground Games disabled matchmaking for the Eliminator mode in Forza Horizon 6 after discovering a credit farming exploit. The developer is now resetting accounts that used this method to 10,000 credits. This rollback affects both players who exploited a specific bug and those using an Auto Drive AFK technique.
Studio resets accounts using illegal farming methods to base currency amount
The studio identified two distinct methods for illegally accumulating in-game currency. One involved exploiting a flaw within the Eliminator mode itself. The other relied on leaving a car stationary with Auto Drive active to generate credits passively.
Playground Games confirmed through its support channels that both farming techniques violate fair play rules. The developer treats the Auto Drive method as an exploit rather than acceptable gameplay. The update clarifies which specific behaviors result in credit rollbacks for affected accounts.
The rollback standardizes consequences across different exploitation methods. Players using either technique lose all illegitimately gained credits and start over at the base amount. The changes are intended to address unfair advantages within the Eliminator game mode.
