Forza Horizon 1 and 2 online servers shut down
On the 10th, the game developers recently announced that they will shut down the online servers of “Forza Horizon 1” and “Forza Motorsport 2” on August 22, 2023. This means various online features such as matching, leaderboards, browsing and downloading user-generated content will not be available. It will no longer be available after the closing date. Online user-generated content includes liveries, vinyl records, tuning setups and photos. However, it’s worth noting that the single-player modes of both games are still accessible and playable.
According to Turn 10, the decision to shut down the servers was primarily due to the significant decrease in the player base of both games over time. Additionally, given the age of these games and their online services, uninterrupted access to online features is not guaranteed even before the official shutdown date.
Are Forza Horizon 1 servers down?
Yes, the shutdown of Forza Horizon 2’s online service will have an impact on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions of the game, including the standalone version of Forza Horizon 2 Presents the Fast and the Furious. However, players who have purchased Forza Horizon 1 or Forza Horizon 2 will still be able to download and access the games even after the online service is disrupted.
It is worth noting that both “Forza Horizon 1” and “Forza Horizon 2” are backwards compatible on the Xbox Series X|S console. Therefore, players who own these games and want to play them on the latest generation of consoles will not be affected by the server shutdown. They will still be able to enjoy the single-player content and experience the game as intended.

Forza Horizon was released on October 23, 2012, and is a racing video game developed by Playground Games and published exclusively for the Xbox 360 by Microsoft Studios. As the fifth work in the “Forza” series, it originated from the spin-off work of Turn 10 Studios’ Forza series.
The game is set in the fictional Horizon Festival, an exciting street racing event that requires players to advance through the ranks by winning races while performing impressive stunts and participating in a variety of activities to increase your visibility. Unlike its predecessor, Forza Horizon introduces an open-world environment that allows players to freely explore and navigate their surroundings.
Forza Horizon gameplay
Forza Horizon offers a unique experience centered around casual street racing, shifting the focus from traditional racetracks to a map made up of temporarily closed public roads. The captivating open world environment is inspired by the picturesque American state of Colorado. In this vast map, players have the opportunity to participate in various types of races, including thrilling drifting races, challenging off-road rally races, and classic point-to-point races.
The roads are filled with AI traffic, creating a dynamic and immersive atmosphere. Also, when playing online, players may encounter other drivers controlled by real players, adding an element of unpredictability and competition. Excitingly, players can even compete one-on-one with racers they encounter, competing for the chance to be the first to reach a specific destination.
