Playground Games today announced that Forza Horizon 4 will follow the lead of previous Horizon games and be delisted from digital stores on December 15th as well as detailed the last few updates for the game.

Playground has sited the reason for this decision as "Due to licensing and agreements with our partners". This is fairly common with anything related to music licences in gaming. It is also leaving Xbox Game Pass on that date. If you own the game physically or digitally or decide to purchase it physically after it's delisted you will still be able to download and play the game.

Also as of today, June 25th, all Forza Horizon DLC packs will be delisted. As per the announcement Playground states:

"If you played Forza Horizon 4 through Xbox Game Pass and purchased DLC content for it, worry not: by having an active, full-paid (not discounted) Xbox Game Pass subscription on 6/25 you will be eligible to receive a game token if you have purchased any extra content for Forza Horizon 4 through your Xbox Message Center. Codes will start to be delivered in the following days, please bear in mind that it might take a while before you get your token."

New Content

Also announced today by Playground is the final updates for Forza Horizon 4 which are entered around the festival playlists. These updates are:

Starting July 25, we will have the final series for the game in Series 77 which will include the last Festival Playlist that ends on August 22.
After Series 77 ends on August 22, you will no longer be able to access the playlist screen, except to see the festival playlist history. When booting the game, you will be taken to the Festival Site screen rather than the Festival Playlist.
Even though there won't be any more Festival Playlists after Series 77 (August 22), you will still be able to see the Forza Events screen which will include a selection of daily and weekly challenges. Completing these challenges and Forzathon Live Events will earn you Forzathon Points that you can exchange for Backstage Passes.
We will update the Backstage Pass Cars list with all the remaining cars that have previously been Festival Playlist Exclusive after Series 77.

For achievement hunters this means that once the Series 77 playlist ends on August 22nd you will no longer be able to unlock the following achievements which are tied to festival playlists
