Microsoft-owned Playground Games accidentally leaked the full PC version of Forza Horizon 6 on Steam. The developer inadvertently uploaded unencrypted pre-load files one week before the official May 19 release. This error made the entire 155 GB game accessible to the public.
Piracy websites quickly distributed the unprotected files and reportedly launched cracked versions of the title. This breach allows illegal access before the scheduled early-access period for premium customers. The leak represents a significant financial risk for one of Xbox's major 2026 releases.
