Inability to access forza horizon 5 auction house.

RLHTJ · Jan 17, 2023

I am trying to access the auction house in for a horizon 5 but this is not allowed. I have lifted all privacy and content restrictions. Is it because I downloaded the game prior to November 2022. Do I have to download it again, noting I don’t want to lose my game credits.

Hiya, Kevin!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist with the issue, it looks like you're experiencing an issue with accessing the auction house in Forza Horizon 4. If you're able to get to the Horizon Site you should be able to access the auction house thru there.
If you're unable to access the auction house then I strongly recommend posting on the
Forza Forums about the issue. I hope this information was helpful in resolving the issue. Please let us know!

Happy Gaming!

Paul Xbox Forums Team!

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

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.

Please do research before answering questions: The Auction House was closed temporarily but has been reopened since early December!!
