"Forza Horizon 5 server is not currently available"

[Wyntflex]

I tried playing before the new season this morning, but I kept getting this message: "Forza Horizon 5 server is not currently available". So I thought maybe they are doing some server maintenance for the next season...

Now it's night and I launch the game and I still get the same message. I play 2 minutes, players start appearing instead of drivatars, I play 5 minutes the screen goes black and the Season changed. I'm like 'oh cool it was just some bug or something'...

I go to the Seasonal events tab and still nothing. I check the auction house cause I sold a Mclaren Senna for 1,2 mil yesterday night and I had a bid for a 2 mil car which I lost but I haven't claimed my bid back yet. I can't claim my money cause it's not showing up...

I restarted the game, signed out, reset the Xbox App, deleted the Xbox App credentials, I verified integrity of game files, nothing....

I can't claim my money, I can't get back my money, I can't play festival events, so I can't get the reward cars either. I completed every festival event and challenge so I could get the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder quickly and I'm missing like 15 points, but I can't get it cause the game is not working.

Updating of Xbox app/services from MS store and restart helped me.

I have same issues now, any chance of solution?

Same here. Can't download new store content, can't play rivals, can't play eventlabs, can't buy a car from auto market.

I found out my MS store was not connected at all, logged in again and updated all apps. Not sure which one did the trick but the game works again. XBox app was not updated btw.

All the activities are not working for me. Eventlab, Auction House, Rivals and so on. I can see other players in the lobby tho.

Go to MS store. I was logged out without notification, logging in again fixed the problem for me. Usually the game should ask you to log in again, for some reason it did not do that

Having the same issue, Just got the game on steam, had it on windows version.

[DarkSwarm]

Yeah there are server issues.
Same for console players alike.
just wait for it to be fixed as they are aware and working on it

but all is on auto update. Any way not worked.. I have this problem after last update of game ( some like week? more less)

Reinstall not worked to. i tried. Any way I see many ppl on mexic map with this prob. Open races and PG work fine but searches only ppl with this "version" of Forza.

Same here since last Apex AllStars updated ( 23/April/2024 )

hello

It did it again yesterday. Changing the default house location to a different one then restarting the game solved it for me. (I didn't discover this I just read it and tried out)
