Forza Horizon 3 was released in September 2016 on Xbox One and PC. In September 2020, 4 years after its release, it was removed from sale. There are rumors that the game’s servers may go down this year, with some players experiencing difficulties with online functions right now.
A thread has become popular on Reddit where players are discussing problems with the online functions of Forza Horizon 3. Some users are reporting that they are unable to play online on both Xbox consoles and PCs. Some online options in the game (such as clubs and Forzathon) have long been unavailable, but there has been no information about the closure of servers for the main game modes.
Pure Xbox publication checked the performance of Forza Horizon 3 servers as of early January 2025. They write that they did not encounter a problem. They were able to connect to races in various modes and even immediately find opponents.
It is worth saying that the Forza Horizon 2 servers were turned off in 2023. Considering that the release of the game Forza Horizon 3 took place 2 years later, this year there is a high risk that a shutdown of the game servers will be announced in the summer.
Forza Horizon 4 was discontinued late last year, but its servers are still up and running.
