End to Forza Motorsport 7 Races: Will Disappear from Microsoft Store and Xbox Game Pass After Licenses Expire
End of the journey. Forza Motorsport 7 ends its journey in the world of video games, as announced by Turn 10 Studios. In a message on its website , the developer points out that “end of life status” will be reached on September 15 .
What does this mean? Well, changes as drastic as it will no longer be possible to buy Forza Motorsport 7 itself or its DLC . That is, the game will be discontinued from the Microsoft Store and will even disappear from the Xbox Game Pass service.
The positive side is that all those who have purchased the work before that date will be able to continue playing the title , as well as its downloadable content and being able to download it again, if they wish. No problem with multiplayer modes, as they will remain active for owners.
One of the questions that arises is what happens to those who have bought the DLC, but not Forza Motorsport 7 . There is nothing to worry about, as the studio will offer a token so that you can continue playing without problems . If you are one of the users in this situation, keep an eye on the Xbox Message Center until August 2, the deadline to receive it. You can redeem it with a maximum date of September 15, 2023.
Rivals events will continue beyond the deadline and until that day we will also be able to purchase Forza Motorsport 7 at a discount from the Microsoft Store. Right now we have 19.99 euros .

The move is pretty drastic, right? The truth is that it does not come from the development team, but they are forced to do so because third-party license agreements expire . That is, cars, circuits and various elements of the real world have a deadline for use with respect to the agreement signed between the two parties.
The truth is that this decision should not surprise us too much. Forza Horizon 3 was discontinued in 2020 , while Forza Horizon met the same fate in 2016 and Forza Horizon 2 was added to the group in 2018 .
