Where Can I Get Forza Motorsport 7 on PC in 2024?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a longtime fan and avid player of the Forza franchise, this is a question I‘ve been asked a lot recently now that Forza Motorsport 7 has been delisted and is no longer available for purchase on PC.

Forza Motorsport 7 No Longer Purchaseable on PC

Forza Motorsport 7 was delisted from the Microsoft Store in September 2021 which means the game is no longer purchaseable or playable for newcomers on PC. This delisting was enacted because of expiring licenses for certain cars and tracks included in the game.

However, the good news is existing owners who already have the game digitally or the disc can still install and play Forza 7 on PC, including access to multiplayer and purchased DLC,

Why the Forza Series Delists Older Titles

As a leading racing simulator franchise that focuses extensively on realism and accuracy, the Forza Motorsport games utilize licensed vehicles and tracks from dozens of global automotive manufacturers and racing organizations.

These licenses expire a few years after release, so Microsoft decides when to delist older titles to shift developmental resources towards newer entries coming down the pipeline.

Delisting older Motorsport games is disappointing for fans, but a necessity to push the series‘ visuals and realism forward with each release while working within the restrictions of finite licensing deals.

An Early Peek at the Next Chapter – Forza Motorsport 8

While we sadly can’t get Forza Motorsport 7 on PC anymore as newcomers, there is an exciting new chapter arriving next year that racing fans can look forward to!

Forza Motorsport 8 accelerates onto Xbox Series X/S and Windows PC in Spring 2023 – bringing a new era of realism through processes like ray tracing and physics revisions that simulate tire compound heat cycles.

As a fan who has tracked this legendary franchise for almost 20 years, the graphical leap and attention to detail FM8 demonstrates already is incredible. I can’t wait to get hands-on with the title next year!

How to Get Forza Motorsport 8 on PC

Forza Motorsport 8 isn’t yet available, but here are a few options fans can utilize to play FM8 on PC once it launches:

  • Pre-Order – FM8 pre-orders are now live on both the Microsoft Store and Steam Store, guaranteeing early access come launch.
  • Xbox Game Pass – The game will be included on Xbox Game Pass for PC, granting access for $9.99 monthly subscribers.
  • Physical Copy – PC retail discs will be available at gaming stores globally if you prefer owning a physical format.

So while mastering all 700+ vehicles in Forza Motorsport 7 sadly remains limited just to current owners these days, the future is bright with the incoming launch of the next era with Forza Motorsport 8!
