Forza Horizon 6 has been hit with a major leak just days before releasing into early access, making the full game accessible for some users.
The latest title in the fan-favourite racing series is set to release imminently, bringing players to a sprawling environment across Japan, and anticipation for the Playground Games title is huge, with Forza Horizon 6 set to be one of the biggest games of the year.
If you’ve seen mentions of a big Forza Horizon 6 leak on social media and want to know exactly what has gone on, Insider Gaming has all the details.
What is The Forza Horizon 6 Leak?
The Forza Horizon 6 leak is a huge error from the developers that resulted in an uncrypted repository of 155 GB of content and files becoming available on Steam.
Many reports have now emerged of players using the leak to access the game through pirated means, a major security breach for the game, particularly as it means that people can now access the full title days before the early access release, which is set for Friday, May 15.

Some on social media have taken steps to refund their early access edition, claiming that the benefit has now been bypassed due to the leak, while others have reported playing the full game.
Playground Games are yet to comment on the major leak, but there could be significant ramifications for those who look to jump the queue and play early.
Can You Play Forza Horizon 6 Early?
While some are pirating the game to play Forza Horizon 6 early, that approach should definitely not be taken, and significant account bans and potential legal action will likely be in place for those who look to take advantage of the leak.
Forza Horizon 6 is one of the biggest Xbox releases of the year, so naturally, Microsoft will be looking to defend their property rigorously, and major action towards anyone who accesses the game using the leak is almost a certainty.

Instead, the only way you should play Forza Horizon 6 early is by purchasing the Premium Edition of the game, which includes up to four days of early access from Friday, May 15.
Those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription can upgrade to the Premium Edition, saving a significant chunk of change, but if you don’t want to splash out, the base version of Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19.
