[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 28 points 3 months ago (1 child) Actually the game launched at 120 Dollars. And 4 days later game is on discount. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) I'm planning on getting the base game (after getting the top-tier version the last 3 releases) but not until the pgg minigames are added back, and hopefully yes it goes on sale when it drops for all users. $70 is too much money for a game. $120 is absolutely insane. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) 70 is sale if we assume 120 is the release price. That's what I meant. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children) Won't drop that low for 3+ years, that's what happened with 4 and 5. Prob 70 to 50, 100 to 80, 120 to 100 at all steam seasonal sales 6mo+ after launch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) It will go even lower. Here are some price records for Forza Horizon 5, from SteamDB: SteamDB lowest recorded price is 29,99€ at -50% Price seen 26 times, last on Apr 16, 2026 (30 days ago) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago Yeah, for the base game. That started at $60 though not $70, and it didn't hit those discounts until a couple of years into it, if I remember correctly. Game was already in maintenance mode by that point. permalink fedilink source parent [–] absquatulate@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago FH4 and FH5 premium did drop by half after about 3y ( bought FH4 premium for 35€ and FH5 premium was 45€, but bought it bundled win FM for 60 so I suppose 30€ each ). So there is a chance - problem is they started selling new cars as extra car packs and FH5 had like twelve. So if you wanted the "complete" premium it would've been at least 70€. permalink fedilink source parent
