Microsoft Crack Down on Forza Horizon 6 Leak as Xbox Prepares for 2026 Release (2026)

Microsoft and Playground Games have taken unprecedented steps to combat a massive leak of Forza Horizon 6, which was publicly available through Steam over the weekend after an unencrypted build surfaced online. The leak, containing approximately 155GB of game files, allowed pirates to download and crack the racing title before its official May 19 release, sparking widespread concern among players and developers alike. Reports across Reddit, SteamDB, and gaming forums indicate the build was accidentally made public, enabling unauthorized access to the game’s offline content. Players who accessed the leaked version reported crashes and missing online functionality, while some users faced hardware and account suspensions with “unban” dates set as far back as December 31, 9999.
