Online Features Still Locked Ahead of Release Date
Despite the leak, several major features remain inaccessible.
Multiplayer modes, shared liveries, seasonal events, and tuning presets still rely on server-side systems that are not active before launch. Similar protections prevented consistent online access in pirated copies of Forza Horizon 5.
The leak also disrupts Microsoft’s final marketing stretch for the game, which has heavily promoted its Japan setting and expanded vehicle roster in recent Xbox showcases. While some fans have called for an earlier release date following the breach, Microsoft has not announced any changes to its current launch schedule.
