Forza Horizon 3 Auction house greyed out

Please check the
marked answer on
this post here, which is about the same issue.

Also make sure your internet connection on console is fine. If you're unable to connect to Forza servers, clubs and auction house will be greyed out.

Also, there may be another reason, where you might have been blocked by Forza for some reason.

Hi,

The specific setting you need to enable/allow is under the privacy tab in your privacy settings. ‘You can see and see upload community creations’ - set to everyone.

Refer to ‘Why is the Auction House greyed out?’ in this guide:

Forza Horizon 5 Auction House - Forza Support

Be sure to select ‘submit’ to confirm and save these settings, which would apply to your account on all devices. You may also need to sign out, then back in again for the updated settings to properly take effect.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jason,

What’s the specific error message you receive when trying to access the Auction House and trying to download gifts? Can you share a screenshot here?

Are you able to access the Auction House in another Forza game like FH4?

If it’s greyed out and says feature locked or something, then it’s probably because you need to reach a certain amount of progress as Nursemorph says. I don’t remember the exact point when everything unlocks (and there’s not much info on this anywhere), but try to complete the intro and unlock the Festival playlist as advised under ‘Why is the Auction House grayed out?‘ (at the end of the article) here:

Forza Horizon 5 Auction House - Forza Support

You can at least eliminate the privacy settings/online permissions and suspensions as possible reasons. The only other possibility is that there’s a restriction or limitation on the network side where you may have to open some ports on your router, but then this should indicate a connection error and not anything involving privacy settings or anything.

My guess is that the servers are just dead seeing as most people have moved on to Forza 3 then to 4 and now to horizon. Not sure if you can see your auctions in the auction house unless your looking at the my auctions tab.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Hammerhead8886, as far as we know the auctions were closed by Microsoft and the developer of Forza.
