      This particular one is not going gamepass. It's EOL as of tomorrow and wont be sold on the store anymore, if you dont buy it now you wont be able to buy it anymore at all.

      • perfectlydark on 26/09/2020 - 16:45

        I wonder why they don't just leave it up. can't cost anything to just have it sitting there getting the odd sale?

          All the licenses for the cars and music are expiring and ‘the odd sale’ wouldn’t cover the cost of their renewal.

          I wonder why they don't just leave it up

          The reason why they have to take it down was because of licensing expired, so I don't think they can put it on gamepass.

    The Expansion Pass is also on sale for AU$15.73 (includes Hot Wheels & Blizzard Mountain add-ons). The Expansion Pass is not included in the Ultimate edition.

      What?!?! So the game is Ultimate in name but not ultimate in nature (ie doesn't include every DLC!)

      • ashanrath on 26/09/2020 - 17:29

        It included everything as of when it was released, mainly smaller DLC (cars, credits etc). Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain were full fledged expansions with new areas, cars, missions etc.

          The Expansion Pass is also on sale for AU$15.73 (includes Hot Wheels & Blizzard Mountain add-ons)

          Also bought the expansion pass but I found that you have to go to look for Hot Wheels & Blizzard Mountain from Store to install it not from the expansion pass screen you bought.

          The 360/XB1 drivers in W10 can be finnicky at times, but the various guides online around uninstalling/reinstalling may help. For me, I can't seem to get my Real Arcade Pro X360 to work at all (crashes my PC) but 99% of the time I'm using my Xbox One Elite controller so I'd rather keep it working.

          ps. Tried deleting the DLL/etc as per one guide, and it did not help at all. Just led to it not being recognised at all.

          • superforever on 26/09/2020 - 19:06

            @jace88:

            The 360/XB1 drivers in W10 can be finnicky at times

            No problem with other games, only FH3 didn't recognize it.

          • superforever on 27/09/2020 - 16:04

            @jace88: Finally found a way to get the 360 controller to work, the problem was caused by winver 2004 won't allow to manually install the receiver drivers (no problem with 1909)

            I have to use the win7 one and modified the inf file to install it but FH3 still won't recognize it and have to manually change the drivers back to the win10 default drivers (xusb22.sys) the win7 one is (xusb21.sys)

  • abc on 26/09/2020 - 18:18

    How do you still download/access after it’s removed from the store if you purchased it prior?

    • superforever on 26/09/2020 - 18:19

      You should still see it under your library if you have purchased before.

  • jace88 on 26/09/2020 - 18:55

    How do I know if I own any of the add ons/etc or if it is from Game Pass? It says I "Own" it when I look at the expansion pass/etc… but I only remember buying the OG.

  • Jackson on 26/09/2020 - 19:22

    Can someone explain what the expansions in ultimate actually are? I have no idea what VIP membership etc is, trying to work out if it's worth the 20 buck premium

    • mrkarlos on 26/09/2020 - 20:20

      I didn't think so. Went the standard.

    • silverrat23 on 27/09/2020 - 00:22

      The extra content in the Ultimate Edition only contains cars. If you want actual game-expanding content, you'll need the "Expansion Pass" as it contains the Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain packs. They both contain new locations, races and cars (different to Ultimate Edition).

      • Jackson on 27/09/2020 - 11:49

        Thanks for letting me know, I couldn't care less about the additional tracks if they aren't real locations around Oz, that's the only reason I bought it tbh.

  • zombrex on 26/09/2020 - 20:29

    Standard plus the expansion pass is going to get you the best bang for buck if you want to have the entire game while spending the least amount of money.
    This is ozbargin after all!
    that said ultimate is ok if you want some extra car packs and XP but it is in no way essential!

    Thanks for heads up! Quite enjoying being lost in to F4H at the moment so seeing this is set in Oz and with these savings and it disappearing from sale- couldn’t not grab it. Cheers 👌🏻

      Honestly I enjoyed FH3 a lot more than FH4… maybe because it was Australia, but it just felt less cluttered to play.

      • LV-426 on 28/09/2020 - 11:47

        Awesome! Am even more excited to jump into then 😊 If only I had known how good these FH games were sooner - I could’ve grabbed My own XB1 X console, instead of hijacking my nephews XB1 🤣 And that sweet looking cyberpunk console at OG price Would’ve been ideal!

  • Richardc on 27/09/2020 - 03:39

    The ultimate is showing 71.70 CNY on CN MS store for me.

  • G-rig on 27/09/2020 - 07:19

    I don't have any car games (or a wheel etc) would this be the one to get? Have got PS4 controllers that seem to work with the PC.

    Cheers

    Edit: The Standard plus the expansion pass seems like the go, $13 for the standard is a no brainer can the EP be purchased later?
    microsoft store terribly slow on windows unless i'm doing it wrong

  • Innamura on 27/09/2020 - 07:57

    Thanks OP! didn't realise this is going to be pulled. So if we buy this now, will we be able to download it off the windows store indefinitely? Will the free cars also be pulled from the store? Just wondering if i should go through a mad rush of downloading everything if they are going to be pulled. thanks.

    • cheepo on 27/09/2020 - 10:11

      Once you purchase the game or any DLC - you can download it any anytime.

      You just can't purchase (or access) it once it's gone from the store.

        I had the same question. No need for Xbox.

        https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/xba_wowpc-xba…

        I managed to get it installed by going directly to the Blizzard Mountain and Hot Wheels pages, and clicking on Install from there. I couldn't install it from the Expansion Pass page. I haven't played enough of the main game to unlock these two DLC packs, but the downloads finished successfully.

  • VishSharma on 27/09/2020 - 13:20

    Hey buds, I purchased the Ultimate Edition and received the Expansion Pass as well on PC, maybe because it is EOL.

    I was under the impression I had to buy Expansion pass separate but that's not the case for me :)

    Just confirmed again before posting…

    • yummycoot on 27/09/2020 - 20:56

      wow that's interesting because previously the ultimate edition owners had to pay $10 more to get the expansion pass

    • Cap N on 27/09/2020 - 22:52

      Darn didn't see this post. Should have checked what came with the Ultimate before purchasing the Expansion Pass…. :(

      • superforever on 28/09/2020 - 09:05

        Same

      • yummycoot on 28/09/2020 - 17:21

        Nobody in r/ForzaHorizon has ever received the expansion with ultimate. OP bought it before and forgot

        • superforever on 28/09/2020 - 17:32

          You make me feel a lot better, I didn't purchase it wrong XD

  • Damonator84 on 27/09/2020 - 13:23

    If it reaches EOL, they should refund it, so dodgy.

      It just means you can't buy anymore. You can still download and play for the foreseeable future from your Library…

      I heard that even online servers will be active for a while :)

  • GameBunny on 27/09/2020 - 16:34

    I own the base game and Hot Wheels addon pack, I guess if I want the rest, I will have to pay again, no discount for me right ?

    • Jackson on 27/09/2020 - 18:15

      They probably sell some separately but who knowsfor how much? It should be finished now anyway (st least that's what people said yesterday I think?)

    • silverrat23 on 27/09/2020 - 19:01

      If you want the Blizzard Mountain DLC, it’s cheaper to buy the bundle (with Hot Wheels) than it is to buy it separately.

      Correct, there is no discount for already-own DLC (like Steam).

  • cashews on 28/09/2020 - 15:50

    How are the loading times for this game? I found horizon 4s loading times turned me off the game, getting a series X so maybe it might be better on that?

    If anyone missed out, I picked up the Standard edition for $12.60 @ Eneba - https://www.eneba.com/xbox-forza-horizon-3-pc-xbox-one-xbox-…
    Got the code instantly.

  • cheepo on 29/09/2020 - 15:26

    Still think it's a little odd that this is delisted a few days before they announce next months Games With Gold lineup. Small possibility it might end up being given away for free.

    • superforever on 29/09/2020 - 15:33

      Small possibility it might end up being given away for free.

      If license related I don't think they have the rights to give it away for free.

      • cheepo on 29/09/2020 - 16:18

        As far as I know, an expired license means they cease the right to continue selling it. Also, the previous game was given away for free before it was completely pulled from the store:

        https://www.slashgear.com/forza-horizon-2-being-pulled-from-…

        Sure, this game hasn't followed the same path but it might be just a strategy to get a few more sales before it's available one last time for nothing. Feel free to call me crazy but in my opinion (and that's all it is), if it's not a Games With Gold this month, then next month might still hold a very small possibility. I'll be convinced it's gone forever after that.

  • G-rig on 08/11/2020 - 07:03

    Got this back at the time before the game was discontinued. Good great with an Xbox one wireless controller on PC with a HDMI cable to the telly, fast responsive great experience.

    Not sure if I'm missing something, there didn't seem to be many objectives and can't even get to the online play yet. Any suggestions?
