Following up on this weekend's news that the entirety of Forza Horizon 6 was leaked online, comes word that Playground Games and Microsoft are dishing out severe punishments against anybody caught playing ahead of time. To get you up to speed: All 155 GB of Forza Horizon 6 was shared via Steam, initially believed to be due to an error by Playground Games themselves. Everything was unencrypted, leaving the door wide open for pirates to access the full game without much hassle.
A statement was issued by SteamDB about the leak, which seems to suggest that fault of the leak doesn't lie with Playground Games but rather from a third-party that had early access to the game.
Forza Horizon 6 was very likely leaked by someone with early access to the build (reviewer or similar).
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.
