In an August 17th update on the Forza Motorsport homepage, Turn 10’s Brian Ekberg announced that Forza Horizon 2 (and its DLC) would be removed from digital sale on September 30th as the game had reached “end of life” status. The news isn’t surprising as the original Forza Horizon followed almost the same trajectory from launch to delisting. Horizon 2 actually held out a year longer than the original entry, having been available to download for just about four years before its removal.

“A heads up for the Forza community: Forza Horizon 2 will reach “end of life” status on September 30,” writes Ekberg on the Forza Motorsport homepage. “That means that the game and its associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. After September 30, players who own Forza Horizon 2 will still able to download and play the game and its associated content as normal. However, Forza Horizon 2 and its DLC will no longer be for sale. Forza Horizon 2 is currently available as part of August Games With Gold so, if you haven’t played it already, now is a great time to grab it.”

I’ll have the date added to the Watch List calendar and a page up for the game soon.
