After accidentally selling a "Forza Horizon" bundle (opens in new tab) worth £170/$200 for 61 pence (about 70 cents), Microsoft is beginning to realize it may have made a mistake. Players who picked up the game last week at a historic low price are finding it missing from their libraries, but at least their precious pennies have been refunded.

Last week, users of Resetera (opens in new tab) (via The Gamer (opens in new tab)) discovered that the bundle of Forza Horizon 4 and 5 (and all DLC) from the Swedish Microsoft Store noticed that they were being sold at ridiculously low prices in Swedish kronas. In the two hours or so before it was corrected, hordes of users from all over Europe and the UK flooded into the Microsoft Store to take advantage of this pricing error. U.S. users were excluded from the feast, but it didn't matter anyway, because Microsoft decided it wanted its expensive game bundles back.

Today, Resetera users are reporting that their sneaky purchases have been refunded and the Forza Premium bundle has been removed from their accounts (or returned to the regular Game Pass version) (opens in new tab). Hopefully they were able to get a little more play time in before their purchase was completely wiped out.

Price errors are oddly common in online sales. Even stranger: companies often honor them rather than take Microsoft-like action; we saw FIFA 23 sell for about 6 cents this past August when EA decided to honor one of the biggest pricing mistakes (opens in new tab) we've ever seen. Then again, the standard price for FIFA 23 was expected to be around $50, so EA didn't eat as much of a loss as Microsoft faced with the Forza bundle.

Those who just got a 70-cent refund (or Americans who couldn't take a bite of the apple) can always pick up Forza at Steam's Autumn Sale (opens in new tab), which began yesterday. Fair warning, it's not on the best of Autumn Sale list (opens in new tab). Better hope Microsoft doesn't notice next time ...
