Forza Horizon 4 hits Global Top Seller and 70k+ peak CCU on Steam after delisting news
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
I have it on Xbox, but still picked up an Ultimate Edition copy on steam just for future proofing. Anyone know if Xbox and Steam versions have cross saves?
Handling on a wheel setup was improved somewhat in FH5, but I preferred damn near everything else about FH4 to the newer game.
Similarly I felt that way about FH3 vs FH4 too at the time, but 4 won me over eventually and I really appreciated a lot of what it did offer. FH5 never gave me that feeling…

Shit, the sale ends in an hour and change. Y'all think it's gonna go on sale again before the delisting?
Practically my exact experience as well. 3 was my favorite, and I felt 4 paled a bit in comparison until I dumped a ton of time into it on the X1X and it then became my favorite in the franchise. Never got there with 5, but maybe it was just not getting enough time with it to let the hooks sink in -- but I feel like I've given it multiple tries.
Still love it, though. Just nowhere near as much as the prior 2.
not only are they not cross-save, but a hack tool for moving saves between Xbox PC and Steam games doesn't support FH4 specifically - the games are actually distinct versions on the back-end preventing saves from loading properly if moved.
probably because the summer sale starts at that time, it will probably just go back on sale when that goes live
generally, ALL cars in the game have a license for X amount of time.
I asked in another thread but what is the differences between this and 5? Only wondering because I might pick up in case I ever get into racing games. But if there really isn't many differences exception location / scenery, then I could just get newest Horizon
$20 on Steam for the next 15 minutes, it's a ton of great content.
4's whole thing was having seasons, and I found the way you progressed and cleared the map more engaging than 5
Gotcha. Are the cars pretty close to the same to other Horizon games? Or is the focus mostly on cars created / popular in Great Britain?
I'm not a big car guy but from what I remember it was like all the usual fare
Shame how these things go given the licencing end but 4 still is still by far my favourite FH experience that captured beautifully the English spirit and love letter to car history.
What a beautiful sandbox that was made with so much love and passion.
Superb game. Here's to you you majestic soul.

I'm still upset we didn't get notice on the DLC delisting - I didn't end up having 2/3rds of the stuff not in the Ultimate Edition and I would've picked it up

They nailed the uk vibe for sure. Wich makes sense being from UK
That's why i was never worried they wouldn't hit the Fable humor with the reboot
Very similar to FH5 and FH3 before that. Mostly focused on various events with their own mini-challenges and "stories" scattered across the map with different disciplines(ie. Open-road racing, street racing, stunts, etc..). Like doing quests for NPC's in an open-world game at icons across the map.
These "stories" are largely optional, and there are tons of other icons of stuff to do as well across the map(championships, different micro-challenges, stunts, even just basic ass single race events). Any event completion earns xp that goes into a larger pool of sorts and fill meters that new thresholds unlock more stuff and even big spectacle "boss" like events like racing against a blimp or a jet or something. Goofy fun. There is a TON to do and finishing it all will take a long ass time, but its designed to pull you in for quick bursts of fun or long sessions. It's very freeform.
The slight criticism is that taking part in these events is all that is often needed to progress. You get slight bonuses or occasionally exclusive rewards for getting first, but it is never really a requirement. Just competing, even getting dirt last, will fulfill completion and you can move on and keep progressing. Some really found that unsatisfying others adore that.
Oh and FH4 has the seasonal changes which add a unique twist to the environment and events. Like certain shortcuts may appear with snow piled up...while summer may lead to a drought and water lessens to allow more open road... I actually wish that came back.
Oh and it has weekly/monthly events in the "Forzathon" section of the menu which add exclusive rewards for doing essentially specific events and challenges on a weekly schedule. I actually really enjoy popping in to do those.
Deserves every single sale it gets and has ever had. One of the GOAT racing games
Beautifully at 40fps on high settings. It has over the years had some unstable periods with some intermittent crashing though
I don't know if it's something they'd actually want to do for business reasons, but it would be great seeing a final sales count after this "last huzzah" of the license countdown. I feel like they're moving a meaningful number of units on Steam right now, and the game was already a big seller. Outpacing Elden Ring for several days in the wake of the Erdtree expansion is nothing to sneeze at.
This can't be understated enough. Forza Horizon 4 is moving a very large number of units right now, and it's absolutely bonkers. The Steam charts are based on revenue and Elden Ring is 3.5x more expensive than Forza Horizon. This means Forza is moving more than 3.5x the units of Elden Ring right now, which is just nuts.

It will leave GP when it leaves the store
