Why was Horizon Chase Turbo delisted?

Horizon Chase Turbo is leaving digital storefronts

An arcade racer called Horizon Chase Turbo is being delisted from the Nintendo Switch eShop in June.

The story links the delisting to Epic Games’ broader business moves following mass layoffs, meaning the shutdown/downtime is tied to operational cost cutting rather than a gameplay or content decision. When a publisher or internal group changes priorities—especially after restructuring—older catalog titles can lose storefront support even if they’re still playable on other platforms.

Why it matters

Delisting affects players in two immediate ways:

• New purchases stop being possible on the affected storefront.
• Discovery and long-term reach decline, since fewer shoppers can find or buy the game digitally going forward.

For Switch owners, June’s delisting could also reduce the game’s competitive visibility (if any communities still coordinate around it) and complicate replacement shopping for players who bought systems later.

What we know from the report

• The title is being removed from the Switch eShop in June.
• It’s described as having no online functionality and no licensed vehicles, which suggests the game is more “arcade-only” content than something requiring ongoing live service.

Because no deeper technical reason was provided, it’s best understood as an outcome of publisher/platform operational changes rather than a specific defect or content issue. For fans, the practical takeaway is straightforward: if you want the game digitally on Switch, it’s a time-sensitive purchase.
