Forza Horizon 4 developer Playground Games announced on Tuesday that the fourth entry in the series will be delisted on December 15, 2024. The last festival playlist ends on August 22, and the DLC has already been removed from the Xbox and Steam storefronts, including Xbox Game Pass.
Unfortunately, Forza Horizon 4 is being delisted due to prior agreements with licensees and other partnerships ending, according to the official FAQ. Despite this game leaving Xbox Game Pass soon, its latter instalment Forza Horizon 5. will still be on the service.

In other good news, the servers will remain online for the foreseeable future. All of its features, including the offline, online, and multiplayer content will remain available.
