if you haven’t heard already, forza horizon 4 is being delisted on december 15th of 2024. the probable cause is the high cost of maintaining licensing, a tale as old as time.

I implore players who want to experience forza horizon 4 to opt for the ultimate edition. for those who may later wish to enjoy the full breadth of forza and delve deeper after opting the base edition, note that the additional downloadable content and major expansions are no longer available as individual add-ons were delisted as of june 25th. this includes the james bond featured cars, the fortune Island expansion, and the LEGO speed champions expansion, et cetera. a jump of $12 to $20, the ultimate edition offers tremendous value for the amount of content it includes. if the ultimate edition can’t seem reasonable, avoid the deluxe edition since it provides the least value. you're essentially paying for very little. either go for the ultimate edition or stick with the base edition. I highly recommend the ultimate edition. you get the fortune island expansion, featuring an entirely new island with over 12 hours worth of content, and the LEGO speed champions expansion, which feels like a completely different game with a new map and over 14 hours of content. additionally, the ultimate edition includes the james bond featured cars, which are otherwise unavailable. having wet my feet in both expansions, I can assure you’re receiving the bang for your buck.

I've always had an interest in the forza series but never found the time to dive in. my history with racing games has primarily consisted of the need for speed series, dating back to the original underground 2. I first encountered forza during a free weekend with forza horizon 5. I thoroughly enjoyed it, prompting me to have a desire to eventually gather complete experiences of the franchise. I'm pleased to report that forza horizon 4 is just as good as, if not better than, its successor. this time around, you get to explore great britain in all its glory, complete with a dynamic seasonal cycle. you advance the horizon festival through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. once you complete a cycle, you then follow a global seasonal cycle, changing every thursday for players worldwide. this feature in particular fascinated me, as the visual splendor of forza makes each season uniquely captivating. the game is incredibly scenic, leaving you in awe as you leisurely drive through its beautiful environments.

get forza horizon 4 before it leaves the store. there’s so much to do, from driving a warthog from the halo series to racing LEGO cars in a large LEGO-built map. I'm certain there's something entertaining for every type of player to lose themselves in the vast world of forza horizon 4.
