Playground Games has rolled out a substantial Forza Horizon 6 update today, delivering a comprehensive suite of fixes, patches, and balancing adjustments that the studio had previously announced. Version 375.327 is now live on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and Xbox, bringing enhancements across AI behavior, audio fidelity, visual polish, performance, road‑discovery mechanics, upgrade systems, and online multiplayer.
Among the most significant tweaks in this Series 2 update are the rebalancing of drivatars, especially their difficulty scaling and race‑start dynamics. The result is a more level playing field on higher difficulty settings, and AI opponents no longer sprint off the line as if powered by rocket boosters. In line with the focus on realism, the developers have also nerfed Drag Tires physics, making them less of a shortcut for record‑setting runs; all leaderboard entries that relied on drag tires will be purged.
Completionists will appreciate a new feature that displays the road‑discovery progress for each region, turning the hunt for the last hidden road into a more manageable yet still engaging challenge. I personally spent a considerable amount of time locating the final route.
The Festival Playlist is getting a round of essential bug fixes, addressing glitches that previously allowed players to finish Seasonal Jobs prematurely or prevented weekly challenges from unlocking for certain users. To compensate, developers will retroactively award reward points to everyone who was impacted by these issues.
Horizon Play’s progression system has been reworked to make reaching the coveted Level 100 milestone more attainable, while lower‑spec hardware will benefit from refined audio fidelity. The update also squashes a range of visual bugs—from pixelated smoke to other graphical hiccups—ensuring a smoother experience across all devices.
The developers have also tackled the currently offline Eliminator mode, which players previously exploited to amass credits via a Hummer EV glitch. Playground Games is set to bring that mode back online shortly, and as a token of appreciation, every player will receive a complimentary McLaren Sabre.
Players who took advantage of the exploit will face no bans; instead, the studio will cap any inflated balances at 10 million credits, effectively rolling back excess earnings.
