- DVS Squad expressed indifference toward the ban, stating it only cost him account progression, which he can rebuild on a new account, and welcomed the attention his channel received.
- He defended the game's graphics against criticism, noting the footage wasn't captured at the highest settings, and praised Forza Horizon 6 as one of the top racing games in the franchise.
- Playground Games has yet to respond publicly to the situation or the leaker's claims.
