Update: Microsoft has now decided to refund and revoke this deal for anyone who took advantage.
Original story: There's been a lot of excitement surrounding the Xbox Black Friday Sale 2022 over the past few hours, and Microsoft has definitely gone crazy with the sheer number of discounts this year, but unfortunately there's been one costly error when it comes to the Forza Horizon 4 and Forza Horizon 5 Premium Editions Bundle.
Earlier today, it was revealed on the HotUKDeals website that the Swedish version of the Xbox Store was selling this bundle for the equivalent of £0.61 in the UK, which led to pages of comments from people snapping up the deal.
The Premium Editions Bundle, which includes the Ultimate version of Forza Horizon 4 and Premium version of Forza Horizon 5, was supposed to have been discounted today down to £67.99 / $79.99 in the sale, but it looks like someone pressed the wrong button over in Sweden, and lots of people quickly latched onto the error.
It took just over two hours for the pricing error to be fixed, so there's no way of getting this bundle for less than £1 or $1 anymore. Still, it was a pretty crazy deal while it lasted!

And you guys didn’t report it until it was fixed 😢
Oh well.
Yeah I snapped this up! Saw it early on. Time will tell wether they actually honour it though.
I also snagged this earlier, it's installing at the moment so we'll see if it actually works
@Kaloudz Depends. Sometimes they revoke it but usually they honour it as it was a mistake on their end.
Ah darn it. I looked at the FH5 bundle as I already have the FH4 one, but if i'd been fast then I could have seen it and saved big
@EquiinoxGII Usually when xbox makes a pricing error on the store they just let the people who jumped on it keep it.
@Kaloudz Well it's a digital game so does it actually cost them anything? I hope they'll take it as a lesson learned.
Managed to get this for 61p near the start.
@J_Mo_Money not many companies would let that swing. Oh well.. better for me if that's the case.
@PhileasFragg I'd had thought they would have learnt after the £5 cod cold war thing a few days after it was released
@J_Mo_Money yeah, afaik they only remove them when the games are listed as free, I remember that happening with Fallout 4 I believe, and I experienced it with FEAR 3 which was free on my country's marketplace but the next day after it was gone from my games and apps.
I remember get FF VII for the PSone on launch day for $20 because of a pricing error at my local K-mart.
I played 5, beat all of Nelson's acheviements the first night I played it (stayed up til 2am) and deleted it.
My friend tipped me about this and I got the bundle, didn't own FH5 so it was worth y I just for that even if I owned a lot of the dlc for both 4 and 5. Thanks, Phil! 😁🙏
@Kaloudz I've gotten things super cheap on Amazon by accident where they put pre-orders or offers too low. Sometime they cancelled, and others they stuck with it. I guess it depends on who's the "boss" on shift that day.
@J_Mo_Money I wish I’d seen this sooner hah! It’s wild but things like that happen fairly often!
@OskarRex Yeah, if you pay actually money they'll usually let it stick.
@FraserG I just got an email from microsoft refunding my purchase for this without any request from me to do this. I wonder if others are in the same boat? Just tried to access the lego dlc having already played a bit and couldn't.
@R1spam Yeah, it looks like they've decided to take away access and refund everyone who bought the bundle at the time.
