Forza Horizon 6 Community Has a Villain Driver That Ruins Races

by

Forza Horizon 6 has quickly become a hit, nearing five million sales since its release last week, with players enjoying both online and offline races. While some disruptive players are expected, nobody anticipated the emergence of a particularly infamous one, known as bowieknife99, within the Forza Horizon community.

Over the weekend, videos have been circulating online showing a player nicknamed “bowieknife99” causing trouble in Forza Horizon 6. This player is disrupting races for others, both when people are playing together online and even in solo mode against the game’s AI. The AI learns from how real players drive, and “bowieknife99” seems to be intentionally driving chaotically, and new clips of this behavior are appearing almost daily.

Popular videos show unexpected results, like a standard Honda outperforming a heavily modified 787B. One player, bowieknife99, is also gaining attention for winning drag races in a small three-wheeled vehicle, as reported on GamesRadar. Many clips feature bowieknife99 aggressively knocking other players off the track by launching from cliffs or pushing them into hazards during races. Some players are frustrated with bowieknife99’s AI opponent (Drivatar), finding it frustratingly dominant even on the easiest difficulty settings in offline races.

We don’t know how this player is achieving such incredible results – it could be through modifications or by cleverly exploiting the game’s features. They’ve become a legend within the Forza Horizon community, much like ‘Let Me Solo Her’ became famous in Elden Ring. However, unlike that helpful player, bowieknife99 is actively making things difficult for others.

Forza Horizon 6 is out now for Xbox Series X/S and PC. If you’re thinking of playing, check out our 10 helpful tips to get you going!
