Forza Horizon 3 and all of its DLC will be pulled from the Microsoft store this September as the game reaches its “end of life” status. Forza Horizon 3, the ninth installment in the greater Forza franchise, was released in 2016 to near universal acclaim. Critics, including Screen Rant’s own, praised the game for its open-ended freedom and the variety of activities it offered.

The Forza Horizon series has been cherished for years for its distinct, open-world take on car racing. If the success of Forza Horizon 3 alone didn’t solidify its classic status, then the success of the next game certainly did. When Forza Horizon 4 released in 2018, it got even higher reviews than its beloved predecessor, though some fans still express a fondness for the third game in the series. Some fans still call it the best racing game of all time.

Those fans turned out on Twitter yesterday to pay their respects when it was revealed that on September 27th, Forza Horizon 3 will no longer be offered on the online Microsoft Store. The announcement comes from Forza Horizon’s official Twitter account, which decreed that the game was reaching “end of life” status. Apparently, games on the Microsoft Store that reach this status are removed from the service entirely, along with all DLC. To honor the game’s memory as it enters its twilight months, Microsoft is offering a huge discount. The standard edition can be purchased right now for 67 percent off, while the ultimate edition is discounted by a whole 70 percent. The sale has been confirmed to last until Forza Horizon 3’s very last day.

Hundreds of fans showed up in the comments on the announcement post to express their love for the game and their regret to see it go. Some complained about the existence of an “end of life” function of any sort in the Microsoft store. Fortunately for those fans who already own the game, even though Forza Horizon 3 is being removed from the Microsoft store, the game’s online services will still be fully operational for fans to enjoy.

Forza Horizon 3 brought joy to a lot of people, and it’ll be very sad to see it go this September. Prospective new fans of the franchise will still have Forza Horizon 4 and future games to explore, but for many, there will simply be no replacement for the 2016 classic. Video game sequels can always improve on the games that came before, but they can never replace them completely, and that’s as it should be. Players form cherished memories with the games they love, and those memories can’t be undone by better graphics and tighter controls. The end of life for Forza Horizon 3 isn’t a great tragedy, but it is a genuinely sad development for many fans.
