  • Thanks grabbed the expansion.

  • +11

    This game may be delisted at the end of September. Grab it while you can.

    • +11

      For anyone unaware of what "delisted" means - the game will no longer be available to purchase from digital stores (usually due to music licencing agreements). Any user who purchases the game before this happens will be unaffected and will be able to install/play the game without limitation.

    • +3

      It also means there is a very very good chance it will be added to Games with Gold in September.

      • Here's hoping!

      • +2

        If delisted and not allow to buy it here, how can they add it to GOLD?

        • +1

          If it stops being sold at the end of September they could give it away for the month of September with Gold?

          • +2

            @FabMan: Not sure but if related to licencing agreements may not possible even give it away.

            • +4

              @superforever: They gave away Forza Horizon, and Forza Horizon 2 in the month before those titles were delisted.

    • may be…

  • +5

    The greatest arcade racing game ever made.

    • Until Forza Horizon 4! (IMHO)

      • This opinion is positively un-Australian.

  • +2

    Is the Expansion worth getting?

    • +5

      Yep! Blizzard mountain was fun, and hot wheels was something different. For the cost, you'll get your moneys worth

      Oh and there were some good cars in the Hot Wheels expansion

    • I'd rate the Hot Wheels expansion, it's kinda simple racing but the audio and visuals of it make it great fun!

  • Is the expansion included in Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition

    Is there any reason to get the ultimate edition instead of the standard version?

    • +1

      The expansion isn't included in the ultimate edition

    • +1

      Is the expansion included in Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition

      No.

      Is there any reason to get the ultimate edition instead of the standard version?

      If you favour more cars over more gameplay (Car Pass vs. x2 game-expanding DLCs)

      • Thanks for the information everyone who responded, appreciate it :)

        So both can be used in conjunction without me being an idiot?

        • +2

          Yes.

          If you want the best of both worlds, buy both the Ultimate Edition of the game and the Expansion Pass.

      • Are the cars worth the extra 15 or so $?

    • +1

      Is the expansion included in Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition

      Doesn't seem to be, though I thought it was

      Is there any reason to get the ultimate edition instead of the standard version?

      Apparently not!

  • +3

    Buy this now if you want it. The game is disappearing at the end of next month as their car and/or music licensing expires. Once you have it, you'll still be able to grab it at any time, but new purchases won't be possible.

    • Though you would still be able to get physical copies for the xbox.

      • Of course.

  • Is Forza Horizon 3 better than 4? I tried 4 with $1 game pass.

    • +19

      It's set in 'straya, so of course it is!

    • +1

      I prefer 4 over 3. However, it looks like 3 won't be in GamePass.
      3 is in Australia as silverat pointed out.

    • +3

      I also prefer 4 over 3, but I prefer the Hot Wheels expansion for 3 over the Lego expansion for 4.

    • +2

      This review rates FH3 as the best in the series. But it’s up to you.

      https://fortuitae1.wordpress.com/2019/04/28/forza-horizon-2-…

      I see his point about preferring to drive around Aus in Summer (always on) vs UK in Winter (based on real world date).

      • +3

        Yeah, now I think about it, FH4's season change is fun at first, but after a while, I do find I tend to skip the week that's winter season. You kinda have to play at least 3+ weeks to experience all 4 seasons.

        • Ugh winter is the worst. I keep having to turn traction control back on then turn it off again in spring.

    • I personally think 3 is the best in the series. Still play it regularly (there's still plenty of people playing multiplayer), whereas I rarely play FH4 at all.

    • +1

      Horizon 3 has a better map though horizon 4 is better in every other regard.

      2 is the GOAT imo.

      • +1

        2 is the GOAT imo.

        +1

  • Thanks OP got the expansion

  • Thanks OP got the expansion. Cost me 73c after redeeming some rewards points!

    • I have 48 days left to get another 1537 points to redeem the xbox gift card. do you reckon I can beat it??

      • +2

        Easy, you should have that by this time next week. Sooner if you also earn through game pass.

        • Need more tips from other ozbargain threads

  • Thanks OP, bought expansion…

  • +1

    Horizon 3 Ultimate is $32 btw

    • I think this works out cheaper, anything missing from this vs the Ultimate pack?

      • Yeah this is only digital and expansion if you buy the two. Ultimate gives all dlcs (for some reason it didnt give me one car pack, but it was one i didnt care about so i don’t care), so it gives all car packs, vip, and expansion i believe

        • Worth the extra cost?

        • it doesn't include the 2 dlcs in the expansion pass does it? (trying to decide which version to buy)

          • +1

            @freakingtaco: The Ultimate Edition only contains cars, whereas the Expansion Pass only contains the two expansions.

            If you want the best of both worlds, buy both the Ultimate Edition and the Expansion Pass (if you don't own the main game already).

  • +3

    Just saw how long this on sale for, looks like if you're waiting to see if it will come to Gold before being deslited, there's no reason to pull the pin on this sale now at least, which is nice.

  • +1

    Awesome find OP.
    Spent countless hours playing FH4 - looking forward to cruising in the outback.
    Cheers

  • Bought the expansion for full price recently. Wish I got it for this price!
    Great game though.

  • Bought the expansion pass, but can't install it ("can't find applicable devices") even though my PC is attached to my MS account. Followed several guides, nothing seems to work. Maybe I can get a refund…

    • +2

      OK never mind… I had to go to the individual DLCs ("Hot Wheels" and "Blizzard Mountain") in the MS Store and install them separately. YAY!

  • +1

    This game is the only reason I bought a xbox one and don't regret it one bit, even if I haven't turned it on since 2019

    • Thankfully if you bought it digitally you can play it on your PC

  • Thanks picked up FH3 and also got Skyrim

  • For anyone that prefers the physical disc, FH3 is only $6.77 more at EB games

    • +1

      But also won't be crossplay (XB1 & PC) then

      • And $14.95 postage… for both standard and express.

        (If applicable)

      • oh! wasn't aware that was possible with the online version! is this a feature across all games?

  • +1

    Thanks OP.
    Already had the game, but bought the DLC.

  • FH3 or FH4… which has the better soundtrack?

    • +4

      3 imo. I actually really dislike FH4 soundtrack.

      • +1

        I hate 4's soundtrack.

  • +1

    Would have been nice if this was available and reduced too. It was $59.95 USD in June but I missed out. Includes the DLCs' above too

  • Are we sure about the end date for this sale? I wanted to see if the game might go free with gold.

    Hopefully the car pass goes on sale at some point before the game is delisted.

  • For those wondering how to actually install it on PC, I had to click the 'Buy' button again on the Microsoft Store app which then presented an option to install.

    • when the game gets unlisted, where can one proceed with the download of their purchased game?

      • Stays available in your game library, same as Steam and other stores.

  • I appear to have purchased a combo of the base game + hot wheels expansion back in 2018….. to complete things I really should get Blizzard Mountain but that does not appear to be on sale by itself and still costs $29.95 so I guess I have to buy the DLC pack for $15.73 which includes Hot Wheels a second time…. I assume this automatically just locks to your account and I don't get a Hot Wheels code I can pass on to someone else?

    • Same I have the Blizzard DLC but Hot Wheels is is still $30

      • +3

        Just buy the whole bundle. It’s very unlikely they’ll be another sale before the delisting.

    • +2

      I assume this automatically just locks to your account and I don't get a Hot Wheels code I can pass on to someone else?

      Correct. You don’t get a second copy of the DLC to gift, just like most other online stores.

  • +1

    Such a great game to just kick back an chill

    • Forza 4 Horizon is even better! The Lego world expansion is just fantastic fun.

      • Yeah I have FH4 too! Both great games! Is the Lego world a paid expansion? I've got Game Pass Ultimate, is that included?

        • +1

          Unfortunately Game Pass only gives you the base games and they upsell you the DLC.

          Lego is paid, frequently on offer though so wait for a discount. Was definitely worth it. Fortune Island expansion not so much.

  • I can't play expansion packs? Do I need gold to play?

    • No.

      • It says I need Xbox Gold to play? Are you sure?

        • +1

          that description is for Xbox. The game was designed for Xbox first. Also to install the expansion pass on PC, need to download via in-game menu. Cannot download from UWP.

        • +1

          Xbox Gold only applies to multiplayer on the Xbox console. You can play the expansion pass offline or just single player on Xbox without gold and you can play online on PC without gold.

  • +2

    For anyone on the fence there's only 18hrs left to get this at the sale pricing

    • Game over.

      And your count down encourages me to purchase it as it's EOL.

      • Glad you managed to get it, I was on the fence about 3 car packs as they didn't have any sale pricing they'd have cost me $30 to complete my FH3 but I'm guessing I wouldn't use most of those cars anyway except for the Supra so I didn't do it.

        Can't find them anywhere as codes now, RIP.
