Horizon Chase Turbo: Revving Down the Road

Get Ready to Say Goodbye

Hold onto your controllers, folks! It looks like Horizon Chase Turbo and its mobile sidekick, the original Horizon Chase, are packing up their virtual bags and saying goodbye on June 1. That’s right, these racing gems will no longer be available for you to purchase, but if you’ve got them in your digital garage, don’t worry—you can still download them, at least until they hit the road completely.

What’s the Deal With This Delisting?

Now, this decision raises a few eyebrows, doesn’t it? I mean, Horizon Chase Turbo is an arcade racer with a twist—no real-life cars that cost an arm and a leg to license! With laid-back tracks like ‘Morning Walk’ and ‘Asphalt and Sunshine,’ it’s a no-brainer that they wouldn’t face the hefty bills of featuring famous racing circuits like Monaco or Mount Panorama. Plus, the game doesn’t even have an online multiplayer mode, so what’s the fuss?

Well, let’s not forget that Horizon Chase’s studio, Aquiris, now has Epic Games as a big boss. And with Epic Games laying off over a thousand employees recently, it makes you wonder if that financial shakeup has something to do with this decision. I’ve tossed a message to Aquiris and Epic to find out if they’re feeling any repercussions and why this sudden delisting action is happening.

But hey, there’s light at the end of the tunnel! Horizon Chase 2 is sticking around, having made its debut as an Apple Arcade exclusive and then taking a grand leap to PC and consoles. This the spinoff *Horizon Chase Turbo* might be leaving, but it seems our favorite racer is still in the spotlight with shiny new updates from its journey to become Epic Games’ Brazil division. So, at least we’ve got that to look forward to!
