Always sad to see a game getting delisted. But props to the devs to notify us about half a year in advance. Usually these delistings are instant without notification and then its too late for people who want to buy it. Now the game is at a good discount, 80%. If I had interest into the game and there was no FH5 on Steam, then I’d buy it.

Licensing issues with music can easily be patched out and replaced by other music. But what can they do about the cars? I guess a lifetime license for the games is too expensive, so it will be a limited license and then the delisting is only matter of time. Man this sucks.

it’s the car manufacturers that piss me off on this. Why is the license timed? Why isn’t it licensed on a “per game release” basis? What does Toyota lose if the 94 Celica is still driveable in a dead racing game from 10 years ago? It’s clearly a case of game devs having to acquiesce to the demands of stakeholders that don’t understand video games.

Series 77, ending on August 22, will be the last chance to earn achievements tied with the Festival Playlist including:

A Creature of Habit Complete all Seasonal Championships in a Festival Playlist Series.

Stunt Puller Complete all Seasonal PR Stunts in a Festival Playlist Series.

Good to know this as well, I’ll be downloading it on my Deck and grind away the coming month

From this date forward we will offer different discounts for Forza Horizon 4, like the one currently active on STEAM (at the time of publishing); we will also have a sale in the Xbox Store on 7/14. Please keep an eye out on our socials and different platforms to take advantage of future offers.

Also good to know incase you still want to get friends in on it

And yet, it’ll keep being available in the high seas.
