Forza Horizon 4 End of Life: Xbox will remove it from sale and Xbox Game Pass! | X-Box

Xbox has indicated that all games developed by its studios will be available on Xbox Game Pass, but this obviously won't last forever. Hence, we know that the content available for the Midnight club will be withdrawn from service and sale at the end of the year.

Forza Horizon 4 has been removed from digital sales and Xbox Game Pass

Officially, Forza Horizon 4 will be removed from digital platforms (Microsoft Store and Steam) on December 15, 2024. This means that the game and its additional content will not be available for purchase in online stores. Xbox explains this “due to licensing and agreements with its partners.”

While we were fantasizing about getting all the Xbox games in the Xbox Game Pass catalog, we learned that Microsoft could therefore remove one of them, as is the case with this announcement.

As of July 25, the game will be called The Final Series (Series 77) which will include the final playlist of the festival ending on August 22. After this date, you will no longer be able to access the playlist screen, except for viewing the history. The splash screen will also change accordingly. The developers note that you will still be able to access the Forza Events screen which will include a selection of daily and weekly challenges. By completing these challenges and participating in Forzathon Live events, you will earn Forzathon Points that you can redeem.

Results

Removing a game from sale has consequences on several points that Microsoft has detailed.

• From this date, various discounts will be offered for Forza Horizon 4, such as those currently active on Steam. A promotion is scheduled to take place on the Xbox Store on July 14.
