Playground Games has disabled matchmaking in Forza Horizon 6 Eliminator mode after developers identified a credit exploit that allowed players to farm currency unfairly. The studio reset affected accounts back to the starting balance of 10,000 credits to restore competitive integrity across the leaderboards.
Studio disables matchmaking and rolls back accounts using unfair farming methods
The developer addressed two distinct methods used to generate illegitimate credits during online sessions. One method involved exploiting specific vehicle behaviors within the Eliminator mode to bypass standard progression rules. Another approach relied on using Auto Drive to remain idle in a session without actively playing, which also triggered unfair credit accumulation.
Playground Games confirmed the rollback policy through a support ticket posted by a player on Reddit. The team applied the reset uniformly across all accounts flagged for violating these specific rules. This action removes any credits gained through the identified exploits and returns players to their initial standing.
The update targets only those users who utilized the Auto Drive AFK method or the Eliminator exploit. Players following standard gameplay mechanics will see no changes to their progress or credit totals. The developer continues to monitor matchmaking systems for additional irregularities that could impact fair play.
