The title isn`t that old to be pulled away from sale, but well, digital have this type of stuff.

Just thought I’d quote this, for those whining about game preservation and digital vs physical.

Why? License issues?

This is bad considering its the best sim racer on the platform. That means there are no more Forza sim games on the Xbox store when this leaves. MS really needs to fix this problem ASAP.

Either way, I just bought the complete versions of Forza Horizon 4 and Forza 7 for $20 each.

Wow, the game is less than 4 years old and they won't renew the license. Didn't Phil just state recently that game preservation is important to them and game pass helps with that? Typical of that hypocrite I guess.

Do you actually care or just concern trolling? Seems like the later. The servers will still be online and the game will be playable indefinitely. This happens with every racing game using licensed cars. It also doesn't make sense to spend money on renewing a license when the return in sales won't be there, and the new Forza Motorsport is releasing next year.

Luckily, Ebay is a thing and the game will be purchasable (and playable) in that form for decades to come.

Pick it up digitally quickly before it becomes a collectors item.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with forza horizons releasing in a few months.

You're right, it has nothing to do with the licensing expiring 4 years after the game released. ?

I dont get it... why would it be pulled from Game Pass?

  • 0

Because their licensing contracts don't allow it anymore there.

Doesnt make sense... it seems the same does not happen to gran turismo.

This happens with all racing games that use licensed vehicles.

GT5 wasn't available digitally and GT6 was available digitally less then 4 years so for a shorter time the FM7 plus both GT5 and GT6 haven't been playable online for a long time already. With Forza you can still play them all online except for the very first game on the original X Box.

Thanks, I didnt know that! pretty crazy. So the servers for GT6 are already shut down? The only way to buy the game is finding a used physical copy?

Thanks, I didnt know such thing existed due to licenses

Because they want people to play horizons when it launches and pay all the dlc that comes with it.

Cant have multiple live services competing.

Forza 7 launched in 2017. Horizon 4 launched in 2018.

So if we are to follow your logic, they don’t want “competing live services” for the upcoming Horizon 5. So they are killing off four year old FM7, which doesn’t have much of a live service left after four years, even though they didn’t mind having it compete with Horizon 4.

And Horizon 4 is still popular and still sells well, meaning it actually could compete with Horizon 5, yet they aren’t placing Horizon 4 at end of life.

Console warz make some of you say real silly things.

If that was true MS would just shut down the servers. Kinda like Sony often does.

As long as they don't get pulled from Xbox as a whole for licensing or other problematic reasons obviously. How is Microsoft supposed to let in on Gamepass forever when they aren't allowed to offer the game anymore for legal reasons?

I knew that wouldn't be the case. But I think MS should have clarified licensed titles would be affected.
