With the launch of Forza Horizon 3 this week, Turn 10 studios has cemented its position at the top<\/a><\/strong> of the racing genre.<\/p>\n

It’s with a heavy heart then that we have to inform you that the game that started it all, 2011’s Forza Horizon, will be delisted <\/a><\/strong>from the Xbox 360 store on 20 October.<\/p>\n

That includes not only the main game, but all of the additional DLC and extras.<\/p>\n

“On October 20, the original Forza Horizon for Xbox 360 will reach \u201cEnd of Life\u201d status.”<\/p>\n

“Players who own Forza Horizon before that date will still be able to download and play the game and its associated content as normal.”<\/p>\n

“After that date, however, Forza Horizon and its associated DLC will no longer be for sale.”<\/p>\n

Although it’s not specified, this is likely a result of expiring car and music licensing deals<\/a><\/strong> which could also see it’s sequel, 2013’s Forza Horizon 2 being delisted in the next couple of years.<\/p>\n
