Forza Horizon 2 for the Xbox 360 is a distinct racing experience that serves as a technical "last hurrah" for the console. Released in late 2014, it was developed by Sumo Digital rather than the series' lead studio, Playground Games, which focused on the Xbox One version. While both versions share the Southern European setting and the core Horizon Festival theme, they were built on entirely different engines, resulting in two significantly different games.

The Xbox 360 version is often described as a "companion piece" or "reskin" of the first Forza Horizon rather than a direct port of the Xbox One sequel. Several key features were omitted due to hardware constraints:
: You can increase your earnings by up to 70% or more by cranking up the difficulty and turning off assists like stability control.
: The famous dynamic rain of the next-gen version is entirely absent from the 360 ISO due to memory constraints. Physics Engine
