Forza Horizon 6 July 13 Update: Fixes and Leaderboard Reset

Bottom line

Install the July 13 update if excessive AI collisions, Clean Sweep Skill tracking, or unrealistic Rivals leaderboard entries affected you. Rivals leaderboards were reset after exploit fixes, but Collection Journal items earned from legitimate clean times remain unlocked. If you are chasing an FPS or crash fix, the official summary does not confirm one, so check the full release notes and report a reproducible issue instead of assuming it was fixed.

Why Rivals leaderboards were reset

Playground Games says unrealistic times came from exploits and from Drag Tires used before the June 15 physics balance changes. It reset all Rivals leaderboards when the exploit fixes shipped.

  • Legitimate lap times were removed along with exploited entries.
  • Collection Journal items already unlocked from clean Rivals times remain unlocked.
  • PR Stunts leaderboard exploits are still being investigated.
  • No date was given for a future PR Stunts leaderboard reset.

What remains unconfirmed

The update overview is not evidence for fixes it does not name.

  • No universal PC performance increase is stated.
  • No measured FPS change is published.
  • The overview does not say every crash, save conflict, or multiplayer problem is fixed.
  • A content rollout date does not prove every storefront completed the download at the same moment.

What to do if your issue remains

Use the Forza Feedback Portal with a narrow, repeatable report.

  • Confirm the Italian Exotics update is installed.
  • Retest the same event, car, settings, and input device.
  • Record platform, game version, route or event, and the exact result.
  • For performance problems, include resolution, graphics preset, frame cap, and whether the issue began after the update.
  • Do not delete a local save as a general troubleshooting step.
