3 articles · Updated · XDA Developers · Jun 12

Summary

  • Forza Horizon 6 players on Xbox and PC are reporting vanished save files, and Playground Games says the root cause has not yet been confirmed.
  • Quick Resume on Xbox is a key risk point the studio flagged, alongside forced quits, powering off during gameplay, and switching between Xbox and PC before cloud sync finishes.
  • Playground Games urged players to update Gaming Services, stay online when quitting, and give saves time to sync to the cloud before shutting down or changing devices.
  • Support guidance says anyone whose save disappears should stop playing immediately and file a ticket at once to improve the odds of recovering lost progress.
  • The bug hits as Forza Horizon 6 draws strong early reviews, creating a major stability issue for one of Xbox's biggest new racing releases.
