Totally missed it. Such a pity. I usually am quick enough to get on these things, but I totally never even saw this one. Ugh

Unfortunate part is I told several people about this after I placed my order; They got theirs... Mine got cancelled.
The irony that I'll also likely get pushed out of a clean race by their Drivatars is palpable.
 
You can redeem codes over the web. It'll show up on any Xbox or PC you're logged into.

Hey, so I did this (input my code at xbox.com/redeemcode), the site confirmed it was Forza Horizon 3, I clicked Redeem... and then it's like it just disappeared into the ether. It's not in my purchase history, not in my download history (though I guess it wouldn't be since I don't have an Xbox to download it on yet), not anywhere. I go to the FH3 product page and it's listed as $59.99, like I don't already own it.

Please tell me I didn't just screw myself out of my $20 FH3 by redeeming the code via my PC before I have an Xbox One. :(

Should I be worried?

Same thing happened to me. Don't worry, if you go through the xbox one (once you get it) you'll have no issues, it'll detect it as purchased. MS' webstore is really bad.

I was having the same issue. There was a delay and eventually it showed up as Owned in the Windows store and I installed it from there.

I'm so bummed about this. I jumped on this almost as soon as it was posted, waited several hours, and then got mine cancelled :( I certainly don't begrudge anyone else their good luck but it's so weird that mine didn't go through while later orders did

Of course I miss this amazing deal. -.-

If someone still has an extra code and is willing to sell it for $30 PayPal, send me a PM.

If your on Windows 10;

open the Windows Store app and click on the profile-login button next to the search box, click on "My Library" and Forza should appear under Games.

It doesn't show up for me there on my laptop, but for some reason it shows up on my desktop.

Your desktop is probably running Windows 10 AU, while your laptop is still on original Windows 10.

Xbox Play Anywhere tiles only appear on Windows 10 AU builds.

Nope, I didn't have the AU on my desktop. It was telling me to install it before I could grab it.

Ordered around 8 but still haven't received an email for delay/cancellation..still hope?

I haven't received any delay or cancellation notification either.
The status page still says it'll be sent within 4 hours.
But its already been like 7 hours.

I'm guessing they forgot or taking them extreme amount of time to send out notifications for every purchase.
