The upcoming Forza Horizon 6 has been leaked, apparently through mistake rather than malfeasance, with a Steam upload that contained the full build of the game. "Big shout-out to the homies at Microsoft for accidentally publishing Forza Horizon 6 on Steam early," says notorious malware website VX-Underground on X. "Microsoft corrected the issue but it was too late. Stinky internet nerds yanked it and now it's all over piracy sites. Very cool, Microsoft." It does, indeed, appear in all the usual places, but I won't be downloading it. Both because I am pure as the driven snow (driven, get it), but also because I don't want developer Playground Games banning me from its works until checks notes December 31, year 9,999. Take it away, folks Developer Playground Games confirmed the heavy hammer drop for people logging in early in its own message, although it said the preload process wasn't to blame: "We are aware of reports that a build of Forza Horizon 6 has been obtained prior to its release and can confirm this is not the result of a pre-load issue. We are taking strict enforcement action against any individuals found accessing this build, including franchise-wide and hardware bans. We encourage fans to sit tight for the game’s release on May 19." The weird thing is that Forza Horizon is one of those games where pirating it and having no access to the online side removes most of what makes the game great, which in my opinion, would be the weekly and seasonal events that function as the endgame. Forza Horizon 6 without those… yeah, I'd rather just pay the ticket price and actually enjoy myself. #planet361 #forzahorizon6
