- Forza Horizon 4 is being removed from sale because of expiring licenses, but at least it'll keep running after it's gonewww.pcgamer.com Forza Horizon 4 is being removed from sale because of expiring licenses, but at least it'll keep running after it's gone
Forza Horizon 4 DLC will be removed from storefronts today, while the game will be taken down in December.
Looks like they already de-listed the Hot Wheels DLC pack, so the only way I found to purchase it was from a code site like Eneba. Wish they had given us a little warning first.
