Now here is a huge clusterfuck. It appears that fully playable versions of both Forza Horizon 6 and Directive 8020 have been leaked online. Not only that, but both of these games have been cracked, meaning that pirates can already play them.
From what I understand, Steam pushed out these versions by mistake. This is similar to what also happened with Death Stranding 2. Still, witnessing two unreleased games being leaked and cracked before their official release is quite something.
According to reports, both of these games are playable. Both of them only had the Steam DRM. As such, it was quite easy to crack them. Regarding Forza Horizon 6, you can play it in Offline Mode. On the other hand, Directive 8020 does not have an Online Mode as it’s a single-player game.
In a funny way, this accident shows why some companies choose to use Denuvo. Yes, we now have HYPERVISOR bypasses. But for a long time, Denuvo helped secure a game’s launch. This is why so many publishers relied on it. And even with the latest bypasses, it usually takes a few days before one appears. It’s not like Steam’s DRM, which can be cracked within a couple of hours.
Needless to say, we will not allow any download links to either of these two leaked games. If you share any download links in the Comment section, your comment will be deleted. So, consider this your warning. In case you’re wondering, though, both of these leaked games work. Just make sure to be extra careful with what you download if you decide to sail the high seas.
Microsoft will release Forza Horizon 6 on May 19. The game will support RTGI and ray-traced reflections on PC. Moreover, you can find its official PC requirements here.
Supermassive Games will release Directive 8020 on May 12. The game will support DLSS 4 and Path Tracing on PC. You can also find its PC system requirements here.
For what it’s worth, NVIDIA has already provided us with a review code for Forza Horizon 6. Therefore, you can expect a Day-1 PC Performance Analysis. Sadly, we did not get a review code for Directive 8020. So, when the game launches, I’ll be sure to test and share my thoughts on its Path Tracing effects. Our PC Performance Analysis will then go live a few days after its launch.
Stay tuned for more!
