YouTuber banned from Forza Horizon 6 before game is even out for posting leak video

A YouTuber who makes videos about the Forza series has been banned from playing the upcoming Forza Horizon 6 after posting videos showing gameplay footage that wasn’t meant to be public yet.

I’ve been loving Forza Horizon 5 for over five years now, but I’m getting so excited because Forza Horizon 6 is coming out soon! It looks like it’s going to be the next big thing for racing game fans everywhere.

The latest installment in the racing series takes players to Japan and features its largest map yet. Players can race through the streets of Tokyo, experience thrilling drift races inspired by the movie Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, and participate in the traditional Horizon events fans love.

Although Forza Horizon 6 isn’t officially releasing until May 15th (for those who purchased the premium edition), it seems copies of the game have been released ahead of schedule.

Forza Horizon YouTuber banned after playing early

This has already caused problems for some players, like YouTuber DVS Squad, who was banned after uploading gameplay from a leaked version of the game. Because he didn’t hide his username in the 45-minute video, the developers were able to easily identify and ban his account.

The YouTuber received a ban on May 10th for cheating and using unauthorized modifications. The ban is incredibly long – lasting 69,895,509 hours, which effectively means their account won’t be restored. It’s set to last until December 31st, 9999.

The message stated they were suspended for cheating or using unauthorized modifications. The YouTuber jokingly commented that this suspension might be a record, and then acknowledged Playground Games.

This YouTuber has a large following – over 52,000 subscribers – and is known for creating videos about the Forza Horizon series.

Players who pre-ordered the game can start playing on May 15th and won’t face any penalties, unlike the YouTuber who experienced issues.
