Forza Horizon 6 suffered a significant leak after the entire game was reportedly made available via an unencrypted Steam preload.
Forza Horizon 6 faced a significant leak when 155 gigabytes of unencrypted files were found on SteamDB ahead of schedule. This leak allowed the game to be downloaded from piracy websites before its official release. The issue seems to have originated from the premature release of the game's decryption update.
Despite efforts to contain the leak, Microsoft is dealing with the aftermath, including reports of early game streaming and piracy. The leak could have financial implications for both Microsoft and Playground, the developer of Forza Horizon 6. The game is highly anticipated and expected to perform well, especially on Steam, where it ranks high in revenue and wishlists.
Microsoft has not provided details on how the leak will impact the game's launch, scheduled for May 19, with early access beginning on May 15. The company's response to this incident remains to be seen.
