With over six million players in about a week (including advanced access), Playground Games’ Forza Horizon 6 is off to a roaring start. Of course, even with such extensive critical acclaim – it’s currently Metacritic’s highest-rated title of 2026 – there is still room for improvement, including Drivatar AI balance.
The development team is currently investigating complaints that AI opponents are a little too fast, “especially at higher difficulties.” It’s also aware of performance issues with AMD GPUs on PC, and fixes are on the way to improve frame rates.
PC players have also noted bugs such as audio crackling, crashes and Invalid Loading errors. While the team has a potential fix in the works for the audio, a hotfix is already live for fixing any Invalid Loading errors. It noted some crashes resulted from unsupported operating systems and hardware that’s below the minimum spec. If you’re on Nvidia, a Turing GPU is a must, while AMD users with Polaris, Vega and older architectures are out of luck.
Of course, this is only the beginning of post-launch support, especially as Playground prepares additional cars and content. The first Festival Playlist, “Welcome to Japan,” is already live, and players can expect a new one each month. There’s also the Italian Passion Car Pack in July, which adds the 2025 Ferrari F80, 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spider, 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, and 1990 Alfa Romeo SE 048SP.
