Forza Horizon 4 - VIP (DLC) (PC/Xbox One)

I'll be straight with you before anything else: Forza Horizon 4 VIP is a legacy add-on tied to a game that Playground Games officially wound down. The VIP DLC was pulled from the Microsoft Store and Steam on June 25, 2024, and after December 15, 2024, new purchases of any FH4 downloadable content became impossible through digital storefronts. If you already own it, great, read on. If you're seeing it listed on a third-party key shop, that key was generated before the cutoff and may or may not activate cleanly, so tread carefully. For players who do have it activated, the headline perk is the 2x credit multiplier on every completed race event. Credits in Horizon 4 cannot be bought with real money, and some of the bigger-ticket items, like Bamburgh Castle at 10 million credits, sit behind a grind that the double-earnings perk cuts down meaningfully. On top of that, VIP hands you a free player house worth five million credits at launch, which is a solid early-game shortcut. Weekly bonus Super Wheelspins stack on top of whatever you earn through normal progression, and those spins are the primary way to land rare cars outside of the Auction House. The three exclusive Forza Edition cars are competent but not meta-defining. Forza Edition variants carry built-in XP or credit bonus affinity perks tied to specific race types, which is handy rather than game-changing. The rest of the VIP bundle is cosmetics: a Crown Flair for your driver card, a unique outfit set, a VIP emote, and a novelty car horn. If you race primarily in public lobbies or Adventure mode and like to flex a bit, the exclusive cosmetics have some charm. For the "is it fun for four drunk friends" crowd, none of this translates into split-screen advantages, since Horizon 4 does not support local split-screen regardless of edition. The honest community verdict on VIP has always been: useful for long-term players, skippable for casual ones. If you're going to sink 80-plus hours into the game, the credit multiplier pays off and the free house gives you a handy fast-travel anchor early on. If you're dipping in for a few weekends, normal progression hands you enough credits to stay comfortable without the boost. As a standalone purchase, VIP was never the headliner, it was always better absorbed into the Ultimate Edition bundle where the expansion packs carried the real value. Given the game's current end-of-life status, hunting this down separately in 2025 or beyond is a niche move for collectors and completionists only. Riley, Scout Team
