This is getting ridiculous now.
Every player knows that the leaderboards are full of cheaters.
Why is PGG not fixing this - the cheaters are obviously fixing it.
Typical example from current Festival playlist.
HW - Forest Edge Speed Trap
Horizon Origins : Ch 1
[Staff Edit - name the event leaderboard only. Naming and shaming other gamertags is not permitted. - TTMM]
Sorry Max - didn’t think this was in the wrong.
How about
HW - Forest Edge Speed Trap - Somebody with 4128.59mph
Horizon Origins : Ch 1 - Some People with 0:00:00 sec
Is that OK and enough for the Devs to look at ?
Please delete the lists of clearly visible fraudulent entries.
And please suspend/ban cheaters according to your new CoC. Cheating is a clear misbehaviour.

It is still an issue in 2023
The person at the top of the Accolade leaderboard is clearly cheating. They have over 5 million points yet the maximum you can get in the game is around 1.6 million and that requires some doing. The next 6 or 7 down are also very dodgy.
Not accurate.
FWIW on an Alt account I have a 0:00.1 time to take a photo on one of the stories. It’s legit. I took a photo of a traffic car for Horizon Promo and the mission unlocked. I also have a similarly glitched record on one of the Danger Signs with > 16,000 ft due to car crashing beneath the ground, spinning into the underworld and somehow landing back on earth to record the jump. I also have a glitched record on one LB with the wrong class car for the event, but that’s the Spirit Of Horizon!
Until I experienced these genuine glitches I would wholeheartedly sing from your hymn sheet saying “ban those cheats!”, yet not all those stupid scores & times are hacks. I’d like to see my scores wiped but if that meant a blanket ban as well, then, well, absolutely no thank you.
It will never stop so long as this game is on PC. Which will be always. So hacked scores/times are inevitable, sadly.
Agreed - they are not all hacks - just glitches on occasions.
I had a jump of 36,601.5 ft (can’t remember the exact one) which happened just by going into the stratosphere forever and it somehow landed. That one did get wiped a while back (knew it would and don’t really care) but it still shows on my stats page.
But there are, as you say, many illegitimate times on races and stuff that should be gone by now.
Explain to me then how they are so far ahead of everyone else.
Some hackers are obvious, others less so. Which is why many genuine entries including legitimate world records were wiped in a recent purge that Torben said “sorry” for albeit in that fake tone he always adopts during streams when apologizing for their incompetence.
I have created an ticket and they replyed, lets see what happens in next few weeks:
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and we apologize that you have had this experience. We strive to ensure our games provide players with a safe and inclusive environment.

I really hope you guys will clean up the Leaderboard and remove all the cheated and glitched time records.
I am talking about records like this 00,00,01
After this you should REPORT those PLAYERS to XBOX (Microsoft) and PLAYSTATION (Sony) so they can use the BAN HAMMER to BAN THEIR CONSOLES and/or Accounts from earth.
Best regards.

Hope it doesnt take that long. Maybe if we all OPEN TICKET they will get aware of this issue.
Max already acted on this at the time of the original post - 22nd Oct. Why is this suddenly cropping up now - 6 months later ?
Someone else recently had the same idea albeit posting in thub so now they are merged
So they had the same idea recently and my post was merged into theirs ? or did theirs get merged into mine (6 month old post) ?
Why wasn’t mine moved there 6 months ago ?
Can’t get my head around these new forum rules.
Often, when I make a thread, I can’t even get to the right place because it doesn’t give the correct tabs to choose.
Edit - never mind - seems like the original thread is still the live one. though it now seems to be shub rather than thub.
