The issue was reported by multiple players on Reddit. On June 11, the Xbox Support account acknowledged the problem and said the investigation is ongoing. The support team urged affected players to submit a support ticket on the same day the issue occurred, and warned against starting new play sessions or creating new save data before the team responds. As preventive measures, the team recommends disabling the Quick Resume feature on Xbox Series X|S, always exiting the game through the menu, and waiting for the save icon to disappear before closing the game or turning off the device. The support team is working with the Xbox team on a platform update to fix the bug. Forza Horizon 6 launched with early access on May 15 and fully released on May 19. It surpassed 6 million players by May 22. A PS5 release is planned for late 2026. Separately, the game's \"Welcome to Japan\" spring season Festival Playlist started late on June 11, offering reward cars including the 1996 Toyota Starlet Glanza V and the 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5.","whyItMatters":"The save deletion bug threatens player trust in Forza Horizon 6's live-service model just weeks after launch, and the official response focuses on prevention rather than a confirmed root cause.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eUser reports on Reddit point to specific triggers.
