It was announced earlier this year that Forza Motorsport 7 was reaching its "end of life" status and would be delisted in September. Well, the time is finally upon us, as the game is set to be removed from the Xbox Store on September 15.
That means if you want to ensure you have access to FM7 moving forward, you only have another day or so to grab it digitally. Any Xbox Game Pass subscribers who purchased DLC prior to July 29 are eligible for a free copy of the game. This can be redeemed via the Xbox Message Centre anytime up until September 15, 2023.
If you're looking to grab it before it goes, it's currently available for £7.49 / $9.99 on the Microsoft Store and there's an array of free content you can pick up. There are a couple of cars you can download for no additional cost, including a 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a 2018 McLaren Senna.
Forza Motorsport 7 is also being celebrated in Forza Horizon 4, as anyone who downloads it before it's delisted will receive a unique livery in the game.
If you're worried about the online servers being shut down for Forza Motorsport 7, it's been confirmed that this will not be the case and that players can still use functions such as multiplayer in the meantime.
For those of you eager for more Forza goodness in your life, you won't have to wait too long, as Forza Horizon 5 is set to hit Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on November 9.

Kind of strange to delist it, before the new one is out
@Murray I think if the pandemic didn't happen, Forza Motorsport (Series X|S) would've been a launch title for the Series X|S. The 4 year licensing deal for FM7 would've been made back in 2017.
Dealing with some cars manufacturers is very complicated. The solution is to buy the games before they are delisted and they are yours forever.
I've started coming around for the Motorsport titles recently. Before I preferred the Horizon games but now I'm enjoying Motorsport a lot more than in the past simply because they are very relaxing games to play while listening to a podcast in the background. I've finished Motorsport 4 and 5 in the past month and I'm very glad that I've bought physical copies of these games so that I could play them, as well as copies of Motorsport 6 and 7. Sad to see these games delisted, all the more reason to buy them though.
@Grumblevolcano Regardless of the pandemic a 4 year license is truly woeful. Games of this calibre should not have such a short shelf life. Forza Horizon 3 was the same.
Microsoft have been leading the way on console backwards compatibility and game preservation recently but things like this show they need to do much better in some areas.
They talk a good game but we need actions not words. They simply need to negotiate longer licenses.

Is sad we have to wait another year for the new Motorsport, Xbox really needs a good racing game, i think the only thing that makes me want to buy a PS5 is GT7 on march, at least we have AC Competizione releasing on february to play until the new Motorsport comes
I just picked up the Ultimate Edition on the Windows Store!
Shame to see it go. Will give me a chance to give the Horizon games a big bash so at least there's that
I always felt like Forza 6 was better, Forza 7 was a bit of a misstep in the series. That said it's hard to believe it's already old enough to where they can't sell it anymore. Glad I always bought these Forza games back when they were on sale.
