Forza Horizon 6 Save Bug Prompts Urgent PC Update Warning from Playground Games
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Playground Games is rolling out fixes for a save-reset bug in Forza Horizon 6, urging PC players to update their Microsoft Gaming Services app and follow strict cloud-sync precautions.
Losing hours of progress in a massive open-world racing game is every player's worst nightmare, and the team at Playground Games is moving quickly to address a frustrating bug hitting some Forza Horizon 6 players. According to a recent report by Rock Paper Shotgun, a select group of racers have seen their save data completely reset, forcing the studio to roll out targeted fixes across platforms.
For PC players cruising through the game via Steam or the Microsoft Store, the developer has issued specific troubleshooting steps. You need to verify that your Microsoft Gaming Services app is running version 37.114.10001.0 or higher. To check this, head into your Windows system settings, locate installed apps, and look for Gaming Services to find the version number under advanced options. If your app is falling behind, you can force the update through the Microsoft Store downloads tab.
Playground also recommends taking a few extra precautions to protect your hard-earned garage of custom liveries and rare vehicles. Always exit the game properly through the main menu rather than alt-tabbing or hard-closing during a loading screen. Giving the game a few minutes to fully sync your cloud progress before shutting down your PC goes a long way toward keeping your save files secure. If you do happen to hit this unfortunate bug, make sure to submit a ticket on the official Forza Support site immediately and hold off on starting a new save until the team investigates your case.
