When was Forza Horizon 2 released in North America?

Forza Horizon 2 was released in North America on 30 September 2014. It launched for both Xbox One and Xbox 360, making it the first Forza Horizon game released across two Xbox console generations.

Playground Games developed the Xbox One version, while Sumo Digital handled the Xbox 360 edition with support from Turn 10 Studios. The game moved the Horizon Festival from Colorado to a fictionalised version of southern Europe, drawing on landscapes and roads inspired by France and Italy.

A common mix-up is confusing the North American date with regional launch dates or with the release dates of later Horizon games. Forza Horizon 3 arrived in 2016, while 2018 belongs to the delisting period for Forza Horizon 2 rather than its original release. The game was eventually removed from sale because its licensed car and music agreements expired.
