Forza developer Playground Games confirmed Forza Horizon 6 has leaked ahead of its scheduled May 19 launch, but denied that the leak was related to a gap in Steam pre-loads for the game.
In a post on Twitter, the studio says, “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.”
Today, word circulated that a Steam listing for the full 155GB file for Forza Horizon 6 was posted as downloadable on SteamDB. However, SteamDB itself claims the game “was very likely leaked by someone with early access to the build (reviewer or similar)” in a post of its own. It also reckons the mysterious listing spotted by fans was just that, a listing, and not a way to access the pre-release game.

“At around the same time, the file list appeared on SteamDB because someone (could be someone else) used our token dumper. SteamDB does not display or share keys, nor can it provide downloads.”
If you’re considering a scavenger hunt for this leaked Forza Horizon 6 build, first consider this: Playground will break your digital knees with a sledgehammer.
In its post, Playground Games adds: “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.”
In other words, players caught playing Forza Horizon 6 so early risk a fate worse than death: being unable to play any Forza game using their own account or even their entire system. I think I’d just wait a week, folks.
“It’s a sea change”: Forza Horizon 6 is leaving the Xbox One behind, and it’s a better game because of it.
