At least the game is still accessible for people that paid for the game, unlike The Crew. However, I am really tired with all these licensing deals expiring causing media to basically just be erased from existence.
This doesn't usually happen with automotive licensing deals, so I practically guarantee this is because of music. Record Label Companies are the actual scum of the Earth. They've ruined every single thing they touch.
We will update the Backstage Pass Cars list with all the remaining cars that have previously been Festival Playlist Exclusive
It’s most likely not automotive either given the above. However FM4 didn’t have any licensed music (that I remember) and that was due to the cars, I wish they’d bring FM4 back that was the peak.
Delisting always sucks, but it looks like they’re at least doing what they’ve done for previous Forza titles: still available to play if you bought it digitally or physically, and if you played on Game Pass but bought DLC they’ll send you a free copy of the base game itself.
