Forza Horizon 6 leak meets a fast crackdown as NVIDIA adds day-one driver support

Forza Horizon 6 has leaked ahead of release, with a 155 GB unencrypted build circulating online before launch. Playground Games says the leak was not caused by a preload issue and is treating the source as a reviewer, influencer, or similar insider rather than a Steam error. tweaktown.com techpowerup.com

Playground Games has also warned of strict enforcement for anyone caught with the leaked files, with TechPowerUp saying the studio is taking action against access to the build. That response fits the broader picture of the leak spreading before the game’s scheduled May 19 release. techpowerup.com tweaktown.com

Even as the leak circulates, NVIDIA has released GeForce 596.49 WHQL Game Ready drivers with day-one support for Forza Horizon 6. Guru3D says the game is headed to Japan, will support DLSS 4, and will include features such as ultrawide support, uncapped frame rates, HDR, ray-traced reflections, and ray-traced global illumination. techpowerup.com guru3d.com
