Forza Horizon 6 Drops Popular Mode, Offers Players a Big Surprise Reward

Players of Forza Horizon 6 had believed they had outsmarted the system by exploiting a vulnerability, but Playground Games has now taken decisive action to rectify the situation.

Although the studio has already removed illegitimately earned credits and implemented the necessary safeguards, there is an unexpected perk for the community.

The developers issued a formal apology for the security lapse in one of their game modes and are rewarding players with free in‑game content.

Meanwhile, the upcoming Halo Campaign Evolved remake could find its optimal home on the PS5 Pro, as the console’s enhanced performance is expected to deliver the promised graphical and gameplay improvements.

In recent days, a critical vulnerability surfaced in Forza Horizon 6’s “The Eliminator” mode—a high‑stakes survival race that crowns a single victor.

Players quickly capitalized on the flaw, amassing millions of in‑game credits while navigating the game’s Japanese roadways.

The studio acted swiftly: the “The Eliminator” mode was removed from the title, and reports confirm that those who profited from the exploit are already losing the illicit credits, though no additional account sanctions have been imposed.

In a gesture of goodwill, Playground issued an apology and will grant every player a free 2021 McLaren Sabre, a high‑profile reward that will appear in their in‑game garage as a token of appreciation for fans of the now‑removed mode.

For now, the game mode is under review, with developers promising its return in forthcoming updates.

To address a discovered exploit affecting The Eliminator, matchmaking has been temporarily suspended in Forza Horizon 6. Developers will provide further details once the investigation concludes.

Playground Games is committed to the franchise’s integrity, and just days ago announced that a notorious bug plaguing recent weeks has been fixed.

Players reported that a cloud‑sync error was corrupting their save files.

Several players reported losing dozens of hours of gameplay and earned content because of a recent bug. On PC, even reinstalling the title failed to restore lost progress.

Xbox initially advised users to disable the Quick Resume feature until a fix arrived. Thankfully, the issue has been resolved; save files are now more resilient, so players can rest assured their progress is safe.

The Xbox team is now rolling out a platform update for Series X|S that addresses the lost‑save problem in Forza Horizon 6. While only a subset of users will receive the patch automatically today, we strongly recommend following the steps outlined in Xbox Support to ensure a smooth update.
