Why is Horizon Chase Turbo being delisted?

Horizon Chase Turbo delisted after Epic layoffs

Aquiris Games has announced that Horizon Chase Turbo is being removed from digital storefronts tied to Epic’s recent restructuring, with the game set to be delisted in June. The key detail is that the racer is being pulled despite being a complete arcade-style title, not a live service—so players won’t be losing an ongoing season or online features so much as losing a way to purchase and re-download the game.

The delisting is significant because it highlights how store availability can change even for well-reviewed, single-player games. Unlike titles that shut down servers (and therefore lose functionality), a delisted game can become effectively unavailable depending on platform policy and whether previously owned copies remain playable.

Aquiris also emphasized that Horizon Chase Turbo has no online functionality and features no licensed vehicles, which suggests the removal is driven by distribution/business constraints rather than gameplay content issues.

What players should take away

  • Availability risk: delisting can make future purchases and redownloads harder.
  • Not a live-service loss: the game doesn’t rely on servers, so playability is less likely to be affected.
  • Timing matters: the delisting window is June, so owners may want to ensure they have access to downloads and backups if their platform allows it.

For anyone who wants to keep playing, the practical impact is simple: it’s time to grab the game (if you haven’t already) and confirm how your platform handles delisted titles and re-downloads.
