Forza Horizon 6 players have unexpectedly found the game’s true final boss. And no, it is not the massive robot that runs way faster than you the entire race, and it is also not some hidden street racing champion.
It is an AI Drivatar named “Bowie Knife99”. Yes, you heard that right.
Over the past few days, clips of the infamous Bowie Knife99 have literally exploded online, showing the Drivatar aggressively crashing into players, forcing cars off the road, ruining races, and generally driving like absolute chaos incarnate. If you thought some players were playing dirty, well, Bowie is worse.
Players Are Getting Bullied by an AI
If you were scared of AI taking over the world, well, this is clearly the first step, because everyone is getting bullied by this AI Drivatar. Someone on Twitter/X summed it up perfectly:
“Having an AI that drives so horrendously dirty that you want to friend players to get rid of it is genuinely genius.”
Players have shared endless clips of Bowie Knife99:
- Slamming racers into walls
- Cutting across traffic
- Spinning people out mid-race
- Appearing out of nowhere to ruin clean runs
Some players are even calling Bowie Knife99 “the real protagonist of the game.” And honestly… after watching some of the clips, it is hard to disagree. Luckily, we did not encounter him just yet, but now I will definitely be scared when racing against AI.
One particularly funny clip showed a player confidently winning a drag race, only for the camera to turn around at the last second and reveal Bowie Knife99 overtaking them in a ridiculously upgraded Peel P50.
Which somehow makes the humiliation even worse.
Why Players Are Adding More Friends
Ironically, the funniest part may be how players are trying to avoid Bowie Knife99 altogether. In Forza Horizon 6, many AI Drivatars are based on people pulled from your friends list and Xbox ecosystem. That means more friends equals more varied AI drivers, and fewer chances for Bowie Knife99 to appear. So yes, players are literally expanding their friends list just to reduce the odds of getting hunted down by one chaotic AI racer.
Luckily, according to the developers, an upcoming update is already looking into making AI Drivatars a bit less aggressive and more forgiving during races, so Bowie Knife99 may eventually receive a nerf.
But honestly, at this point, the AI has become such a legendary part of the launch week experience that many players almost seem disappointed at the idea of losing their chaotic rival. Because even if getting rammed off the road by Bowie Knife99 is incredibly annoying, it is also apparently one of the funniest things happening in Forza Horizon 6 right now.
