Forza Horizon 5’s Auction House is closed after players managed to break the in-game economy with a credit farming exploit.

The Forza Horizon 5 Auction House is a handy way to expand your car collection or earn extra credits to buy your dream car.

A staple Forza feature since Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox 360, it allows you to bid on cars or sell your unwanted cars to other players and make some extra cash.

However, the auction house in Forza Horizon 5 has been closed for over a week due to the game’s broken economy.

As PCGamesN reports, Forza Horizon 5’s auction house was closed after players found an exploit to earn infinite credits in Super 7 Community events. These wealthy players would then buy up everything in the auction house, hiking prices up and breaking the in-game economy as a result.

To stop this, the Forza Horizon 5 Auction House is temporarily closed until Playground Games can rebalance the game economy.

Forza Horizon 5 hotfix

In the meantime, a Forza Horizon 5 hotfix has rolled out on PC, Xbox, and Steam. While it fixes the Super 7 Exploit, the auction house is still closed at the time of writing.

“The Auction House remains unavailable as we continue to work towards a solution to rebalance the Auction House economy,” the patch notes read. “We apologise for the inconvenience, and we’ll share another update on this as soon as possible.”
