Forza Horizon 6 Will Officially Launch on 19th May
A major leak appears to have hit Forza Horizon 6 just days before its official launch, with reports claiming that a massive 155 GB build of the game briefly surfaced online. According to widespread chatter on social media, especially leak forums, the issue may have originated from an accidental Steam upload by developer Playground Games.
While details remain unclear, multiple users claim that the files were not encrypted. Hence, making it possible for others to access and even run the game ahead of release. Screenshots and short gameplay clips circulated online, with some individuals allegedly booting up early versions of the title. Communities like CrackWatch reported that the full game build was accessible for a brief window. However, the source has since been taken down.
Interestingly, this kind of mishap is not entirely unprecedented. Earlier this year, reports suggested that Death Stranding 2 encountered a similar situation when someone mistakenly uploaded over 100 GB of game files without proper protection shortly before launch. Incidents like these highlight how even major studios can run into unexpected issues during the complex process of preparing games for release.
As of now, Playground Games has not issued an official statement regarding the leak. Despite the situation, players eager to experience the game properly will not have to wait long. Forza Horizon 6 will still launch globally on May 19 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
In the end, while leaks like this may generate buzz, they also raise concerns about security and fairness ahead of launch. This makes the official release all the more important for both developers and players.
