I tried to load Forza 7 earlier (I had it via Game Pass) and discovered that it is no longer current.

There is mention of a token, but I do not know how or where to obtain one.

An ideas?

Thanks

If it's gone from the GamePass free-to-play library then you usually have to buy it (to keep) at a reduced price from the store.

However, I believe it's probably the licensing deal with Turn 10 that's expired and not been renewed. There was a discounted purchase available for people who wanted to buy it, but that ended yesterday (£17.49 for the Ultimate Edition).

This was the announcement about it's retirement from the Store/GamePass earlier in the year...

It says that if you paid for any DLC whilst using the GamePass version of FM7, you will receive a token in your Xbox Message Centre for a free copy of the base game...again, that offer expired yesterday.

I'll have another look on the store, but it appeared to be unavailable.

Am I missing something? It’s less than a tenner on eBay for a physical copy.

Its end of life, it is being wiped from catalogs.
Your best bet is to buy a dirt cheap used disc copy from CEX.

I wouldnt be surprised if Turn 10 dont have the deal to make Forza8 and that is why we havent heard anything about a sequel before they get rid of 7. It is very strange how quiet they have been and how long since 7. And they have missed several large gaming conferences, and not a whisper of a teaser.

Would be funny if Codemasters got the licence considering their new links to EA. Bet they are dying to do a serious track racing game.

If it's PC, then it's in the Xbox app in the the notification area on the top-right.

If it's on Xbox, then it should be on the too-left where you see your profile.

But if you didn't buy (as in more than £0) any DLC for the game, or didn't used the token by the closing date, then I think you may be out of luck.

I bought a used copy of the disc and I am now back up and running, working my way through various oddity cars.
