Forza Horizon 6 to rebalance brutally aggressive AI after fan backlash

Forza Horizon 6 is set to receive AI rebalancing after fans complained that its Drivatar opponents are unfairly fast, especially on higher difficulties. Playground Games says a fix is in the works and will focus on AI balance, with more details to come once developers have something concrete. The update is also reportedly addressing PC launch issues such as AMD framerate problems, audio crackling, and crashes. Players can provide feedback via the Forza portal, and there’s no clear word yet on altering the 1,000-hour maxed-out achievement requirement.

The game is expected on Xbox Series X/S, Game Pass, Steam, and PS5, with no firm PS5 date yet.

Forza Horizon 6 Leaks Ahead of Launch; Pirates Face Franchise-Wide Hardware Bans

Forza Horizon 6 surfaced online a week before its release via unencrypted files and a crack. Playground Games vowed strict enforcement against anyone accessing the leaked build, including franchise-wide hardware bans, signaling a tough stance against pirates that could affect sales and Game Pass, even as early impressions remain broadly positive. Pirates won’t get the full experience, and the incident follows a similar prior leak pattern seen with Death Stranding 2.

Fable Reboot Skips Iconic Morality Morphing, Creator Says It's a Shame

Playground Games’ Fable reboot drops the series’ morality-based morphing, opting for a morality scale that affects NPCs but not the player’s appearance; Peter Molyneux calls the omission a real shame, while Ralph Fulton cites the lack of an objective good/evil and increased complexity as reasons. The game launches this fall on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, marking Fable’s first PS5 appearance.

Fable Delay Rumors Put 2026 Release Window at Risk

Insider Gaming reports that Microsoft’s upcoming Fable reboot is reportedly being delayed internally, but the company still targets a 2026 release for PC and Xbox Series. The delay is thought to be tied to GTA 6’s launch window, with the team allegedly hoping to ship in 2026; if GTA 6 slips or draws closer, Fable could move to December 2026 or even into 2027, though the claim remains unconfirmed and updates are expected as the story develops.
