The original "Forza Horizon" video game will be removed from sale soon as the old Xbox 360 game has reached its end of life status. "Forza Horizon 3" Ultimate Edition owners can start playing now ahead of the others.
According to the official website of "Forza Motorsport," Microsoft has now confirmed that the original game in the franchise will be removed from sale in the near future. The game will reach its end of life status on Oct. 20. When that time comes, they will not be able to buy the game and all of its extra content anymore.
For Xbox 360 console owners who have the video game and DLC, or they buy it before the deadline, nothing will change. They can still play it and all of its extra content. They can also download the game again as long as they had purchased it before the deadline.
The video game started off as Microsoft's racing franchise for the Xbox 360. It had the same exacting driving simulation from the original "Forza Motorsport" that it is known for. It then had the car-culture action racer format that the Horizon game franchise has.
In other "Forza Horizon" related news, the third iteration of the video game franchise will be launching on Sept. 27. The video game company will be taking the virtual car festival in Australia.
Players who already own the Ultimate Edition of the upcoming video game can already play it right now. For those who are interested in purchasing it, it will cost them $100. The game will be the game company's first to support high dynamic range on the Xbox One S.
Players can play the video game as a demo, but it will not feature the HDR support. They do not need to buy the Ultimate Edition, or they can just wait a while.
According to the official forums of the video game, there are several PC owners who bought the Ultimate Edition that are reporting that there are issues pre-loading it. Several forum members have been reporting different bugs that they have encountered when loading the game.
Some players are reporting that there are experiencing lags when trying to scroll through the menus for car customizations. Some are also reporting that some extra contents are not working. The moderators are now trying their best to give solutions to these problems as soon as possible.
