Forza Horizon 6 Leak Reveals Early 4K PC Performance Benchmarks

Forza Horizon 6 has leaked ahead of launch, and some users have already started testing the game’s PC performance. Early benchmark results shared online suggest the racing title pushes modern GPUs heavily once ray tracing features are enabled.

According to reports highlighted by VideoCardz, one Reddit user tested the leaked build on a high-end AMD gaming system running at 4K resolution with Extreme settings enabled.

Early 4K benchmark results surface online

The reported test system included a Radeon RX 9070 XT paired with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB of RAM, and Windows 11 build 26100.8246. The user also reportedly used AMD driver version 32.0.31007.1017.

The benchmark used these settings:

• 3840×2160 resolution
• Extreme graphics preset
• Ray-traced reflections set to High
• Ray-traced global illumination set to High
• FSR 4.1 Balanced enabled
• Frame generation disabled

The leaked benchmark reportedly produced:

The results suggest Forza Horizon 6 could become one of Microsoft’s more demanding racing games on PC, especially when ray tracing features remain active at 4K.

AMD driver reportedly upgrades the game to FSR 4.1 automatically

One interesting detail from the leak involves AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution support. Users claim the leaked build ships with an older version of FSR by default.

However, AMD Adrenalin drivers reportedly upgrade the game automatically to FSR 4.1 when running on Radeon RX 9000 GPUs. That could explain why the benchmark used FSR 4.1 Balanced despite reports claiming the game itself includes an older implementation.

The PC version reportedly supports both ray-traced reflections and ray-traced global illumination. Reports also suggest Microsoft internally targets hardware like the Radeon RX 9070 XT and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti for the game’s Extreme RT preset at high settings.

Developers reportedly preparing bans for leaked copies

The leak also sparked backlash from developers. Reports claim some users have already received lifetime bans after modifying the leaked build.

Developers also reportedly plan to issue hardware bans for players caught using unauthorized leaked versions of the game. That would prevent affected systems from accessing the game even after release.

The situation resembles previous major gaming leaks where publishers aggressively targeted players distributing, modding, or accessing unfinished builds before launch.
