I owned FH4 on my Xbox One but no longer have it on my Series X/S

Landon Hofer · Mar 2, 2025

I had Forza Horizon 4 on my Xbox One. We never had a physical disc, the Xbox One game with a digital code. When I got an Xbox Series S, I had trouble getting it to work on the Series S. (I sold my Xbox One) So on my Series S, and later on my Series X, I always played Horizon 4 on Game Pass. Now that Horizon 4 is not on Game Pass any more, how can I get Horizon 4 to work on my Series X, since I did own it on the Xbox One? Also, on my current Series X console, when I go to "Manage game and addons", it shows that the game is installed and using using 92.4 GB of space. But when I go to play it, the console says "Sorry, this game left Game Pass'. When I click "See in Microsoft Store", it says that I can manage it. When I click on "Manage" it shows that the game is not installed, but when I click on the game to install it, it will only show the add-ons are available to install and not the game itself. Another question is if I buy the physical copy (a disc) will the FPS be locked at 30 or 60?

I'm certain that I have only ever had my current account. But let's say that is the case. If I purchase a used CD Xbox One version of Horizon 4, is that going to be 30 FPS and look choppy on my Xbox Series X? Would I need to find a digital version that's optimized for Series S/X that someone has for sale? Where is the best & safest place to do that?

It sounds like you're not using the account that redeemed the game. The account that redeemed the game would need to set the new console as their Home console so you can continue playing the game. Otherwise, you won't be able to play the game if you don't own it.

You can check your order history at http://account.microsoft.com to see if it shows the account being redeemed on your account.

Since the game has been delisted, a disc would be the only way to play it. The game is optimized for the Series S/X so it should run at 60 FPS.

I would also like to ask a second question, which might nulify my first question.

Is the situation I present below possible?

We own the ultimate edition of FH4 on my account.

We have 3 xboxes (2x series s and 1x one s)

Home console Series S: Wife logs in and plays Forza Horizon 4

2nd Series S: I log in and play FH4

Xbox one S: I log in to give acces to my daughther, and she logs in on her account at the same time to play FH4 on her account.

ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

Just wondering if that is possible and/or allowed.

Hi,

Unlike FH4, FH5 only has a performance mode for the Series S and X consoles. FH5 on the older Xbox One X is a 30fps game, hence why this option is not available to you.
