Bad news for fans of the Forza Horizon franchise. The fourth installment will soon be leaving digital storefronts. Indeed, Microsoft announces that on December 15, 2024, the game will be officially delisted, meaning that it will no longer be possible to purchase it digitally on online stores, whether Steam, the Xbox store or the Microsoft Store on PC. The game's downloadable content is already no longer available for starting today, marking an important step in the process of “disappearance”.
The reason for the removal of Forza Horizon 4 from sales platforms is, unfortunately, well known in the video game industry, since it is the expiration of licenses. This can concern both the exploitation agreements of brands and those of the music present in the game. The announcement of the delisting of this game has provoked many reactions among fans, who are now rushing to acquire it before it is too late.

For Forza Horizon 4 fans, this news is a mix of good and bad news. On the one hand, the game's removal from sale means that those who haven't yet purchased it have a limited window to do so. Fortunately, Playground Games, the game's developer, has announced significant discounts on the game leading up to its demise, with sales reaching up to 80% off on Steam. So now is the perfect time for those looking to add this little gem to their their collection.
On the other hand, the good news is that the game will remain playable even after it is removed from sale. All features, including offline, online, and multiplayer modes, will remain accessible to current and future players. The studio's servers are not impacted in any way. This means that fans will be able to continue enjoying the races and challenges of the Playlist Festival, although the latter will have its final series until August 22. After this date, the playlist screen will become inaccessible, but daily and weekly challenges will continue.
A Lasting Legacy
Forza Horizon 4 left its mark with its addictive gameplay and richly detailed environment. Compared to its successor, Forza Horizon 5, it retains a special place in the hearts of many players thanks to its unique setting and outrageous racing.
One of the most captivating aspects of Forza Horizon 4 is its world. The game transports players to a reimagined version of Great Britain. From rolling green hills to quaint villages, to racing against trains and hovercraft, every corner of this virtual world is designed to deliver an immersive and varied driving experience.
