Summary

  • Players on Xbox and PC report Forza Horizon 6 is fully resetting progress, erasing cars, credits, collectibles, races and other accumulated progress after hours of play.
  • Xbox Quick Resume is a leading suspected trigger on console, while PC players say wipes have followed game crashes and restarts.
  • Eight cars have also been linked by players to the bug, including the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000QV and 2020 Wuling Sunshine S Forza Edition.
  • For now, PC players are being urged to back up saves and Xbox players to avoid suspending the game with Quick Resume, reviving concerns after similar Forza Horizon 4 save-loss reports.
