Forza Horizon 6 Players Report Lost Progress; Quick Resume Eyed

Players on Xbox Series X|S and Windows report that hours of progress in Forza Horizon 6 have been erased or corrupted. Affected items cited by players include car collections and race progress.

Reports on community forums and discussion boards describe save files becoming inaccessible after cloud sync interruptions or game crashes. Players report the issue occurring after interrupted syncs or when a session does not close normally.

Several users link the problem to Xbox’s Quick Resume feature, which keeps games suspended to allow faster relaunch. Some players believe returning to a suspended session can increase the chance of an interrupted cloud sync and lead to file corruption. Other reports point to a bug that can crash the game when creating or sharing a livery for two specific cars and potentially undo progress.

A number of players have also received Xbox system messages indicating low space for save data. Similar messages have been associated with broken save files in other games.

One commentator who spent about 30 hours with the game estimated most players will not encounter the bug, but multiple threads show significant losses for those affected and users seeking help to recover progress.

Forza’s support site includes an “I’ve lost all my progress” page with recovery steps and instructions on contacting support to attempt restoration of collections. Players have requested the ability to back up saves to external drives; Xbox currently relies on cloud storage for game saves.

Fraser Gilbert wrote that readers contacted him about the issue after he recommended Quick Resume in an earlier opinion piece. He wrote he plans to continue using Quick Resume but suggested that worried players might want to disable it, adding, “Should you lose sleep over this? No.”

Players experiencing lost progress are advised to follow the support guidance and report incidents so developers can investigate and address the problem.
