Six years after being delisted, the original Forza Horizon briefly resurfaced on the Xbox Store on Saturday, according to many Twitter users who successfully accessed the popular Xbox 360 racing game.
Forza Horizon was originally pulled from all storefronts in 2016, but eagle-eyed fans reported that the game appeared for $19.99 for a short period of time and disappeared again hours later. It’s unclear if the relaunch is a sign that Xbox plans to bring the game back to the store, or if someone at Xbox just made a mistake that caused it to resurface for a while.

Either way, the eventual removal of Forza games is a common practice for Microsoft, as third-party licensing agreements have been used for the series’ extensive selection of cars, tracks, songs, and more. In September 2021, Forza Motorsport 7 became the latest game in the series to be delisted – four years after it was released on Xbox One.
Developer Turn10 is working on a reboot of the Forza Motorsport mainline series, but word about the game has been slow to come out since it first came to light in 2020. All we know so far is that it will be the new start of the Forza Motorsport series. A franchise that harnesses the power of the Xbox Series X — which means the game won’t be coming to Xbox One. It will also launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one.
