Forza Horizon 6 has been leaked and cracked a week before its release

Forza Horizon 6 was leaked online before launch after an allegedly unencrypted Steam preload.

Piracy cracks quickly followed, and copies began circulating on file-sharing sites.

The pre-release leak points to a serious security lapse for a major Xbox and PC release.

The game is scheduled to launch on May 19 for Xbox Series X/S and PC, with a PS5 version planned later.
