Forza Horizon 4 is joining the battle royale bandwagon with an eliminator mode within the Series 17 free update on December 12.

The mode starts off with up to 72 players in an arena within the game world, fostering battles as the walls contract. Win your head-to-head race and you get upgrades as well as a chance to get a faster car altogether.

Could this make a dent in the battle royale wave? Of course, an elimination mode is nothing new for the racing genre, but the open world and large player count add a new flavor to this racing staple.
