Forza Forums celebrates its 20th anniversary by shutting down the site

Prior to the rise of Reddit, Discord and the like, video game forums were a popular way for fans of a particular franchise to engage with their community; discussing past, present and future titles. One such site which has persisted for decades now is the ‘Forza Forums’. Unfortunately, while celebrating the platform’s 20th anniversary, the team officially confirmed that the Forza Forums will be shutting down next month.

Taking to the Forza Forums to make the announcement, the franchise’s Community Manager officially confirmed the unfortunate news, writing: “For the past two decades, the Forza Forums have provided a place for official game info, troubleshooting, shared tips between players, contests, and feedback from the Forza Community.”

They continued, “the Forums will continue to remain active through the launch of Forza Horizon 6 in May; on June 30, 2026, the Forums will be taken offline.”

While a disappointing conclusion, what is perhaps even more unfortunate is the fact that “we do not plan to archive or replace the Forums in their current form” – meaning 20 years of fan discourse will be wiped from the internet.

Of course, there are plenty of other avenues for fans to engage with the community, including the official Forza Discord server, Steam forums and Subreddit.

Still, this latest announcement comes as quite the disappointment, especially with Forza Horizon 6 right around the corner.
