The Forza Horizon team has announced that Forza Horizon 4 will be removed from digital platforms, including the Microsoft Store and Steam, on December 15, 2024. This means the game and its additional content will no longer be available for online purchase due to licensing agreements.
Festival Playlist Changes
Starting July 25, the final series for Forza Horizon 4, Series 77, will begin and will end on August 22. After this date, the Festival Playlist will only be accessible for viewing its history. Players will be directed to the Festival Site screen when launching the game.
While new Festival Playlists will end after August 22, daily and weekly challenges will still be available through the Forza Events screen. Completing these challenges will earn Forzathon Points, which can be exchanged for Backstage Passes. The Backstage Pass Cars list will be updated with all previously exclusive cars.
Seasonal Gameplay Continues
Players will still experience the rotating seasons—Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Summer—within the game. Achievements related to these seasons will remain unlockable.
DLC and Sales Information
Forza Horizon 4’s DLC has been removed from sale. Only the Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions will be available for purchase until December 15. The game is currently available on Steam with a massive 80% discount, with a sale on the Xbox Store scheduled for July 14.
Post-Delisting Details
After December 15, Forza Horizon 4 will also be removed from Xbox Game Pass. Players who own the game will still be able to download and play it, including offline, online, and multiplayer features. Physical copies will continue to work and access online features.
