Forza Horizon 6 player reported temporary ban issued

Forza Horizon 6 is on pace to become not only one of the best-reviewed games of 2026, but also one of the best-selling titles of the year. That's without its planned PlayStation 5 release, which is still set for later this year.

Part of that appeal, aside from its Japan setting, is the livery, where players can design and share different graphics that can then be transplanted onto their vehicles. It features players transforming their cars into everything from Optimus Prime to Lightning McQueen.

There is a Forza Horizon 6 player terrorizing the entire community right now, and their driver is also a threat

Bowieknife99 is causing havoc in Forza Horizon 6, giving the game its own villain.

It appears a player has received a temporary suspension for what developers Turn 10 and Playground Games deems to be “suggestive” content.

On Reddit, u/Fearless_Chemist3591 shared that they received a ban for “inappropriate UGC” that prevented them from going online or joining their friends.

“A few days ago, my design hit 50,000 downloads and entered the trending section. It had zero political symbols, and nothing that violated the code of conduct. It was just pure, hard work that the community loved,” they wrote.

Their design, which is linked in a Reddit post, shows a female anime character leaning somewhat against the side of a vehicle. There are no political symbols or hate messages, but the character's cleavage is a focal point.

It doesn't help that, as many users have pointed out, the design is based on Andy and Leli's Coffin, an indie horror title with themes of cannibalism and incest.

“Automatic moderation on FH6 is completely broken and punishes the wrong people,” they wrote in their initial post.

After their post went viral, the user then shared an update that the ban was for three days, and that it was due to “suggestive” content, namely the character's cleavage and pose.

“The good news is, the design wasn't completely deleted from my local save – it's still in my private livery, just removed from the public server,” they wrote in the update. “However, they warned me that re-sharing without changing it could result in a permanent UGC ban.”

Whether players agree with it or not, it's clear that Forza Horizon 6 wants to have some kind of minimum standards.
