Forza Horizon 4 is getting a battle royale mode called The Eliminator

In news that manages to be simultaneously surprising and, also, not remotely surprising at all, Microsoft has announced that Forza Horizon 4 is getting a battle royale mode. It's called The Eliminator and it's out tomorrow on Xbox One and PC.

The Eliminator, which comes to Forza Horizon 4 in a free update, pits 72 players against each other as they thunder around Forza 4's open-world Britain, competing in head-to-head races in a frantic attempt to secure new pick-ups and faster cars.

Initially, everyone is seated in their own 1965 Mini Cooper, but upgrades can be earned by locating Car Drops around the world or by coming first in a head-to-head race against another challenger. Once an individual race is complete, the loser is disqualified and the winner can either select an upgrade or steal their opponent's car.
