Unused Textures

This is a sub-page of Forza Horizon 4.

To do:
There's plenty of other unused and leftover textures lurking around in the .swatchbin files, within the Anthem.zip file as well as the data_bound/hires folders.

Unused Textures#

Album Artwork#

Located in the AlbumArt.zip archive within the \media\ui\textures\hires\data_bound folder are the textures for the album artwork that appears in the pause menu whenever the radio is playing. Notably, there are a few unused textures for tracks not included in the final release of the game, as well as those that were removed with game updates.

Early Map#

The Map_UK.zip archive within the \media\ui\textures\data_bound folder contains a large texture of an early map split into various chunks of terrain, with the underlying map comprised of real-life stitched together satellite imagery of England and Scotland. The map itself is dated July 24th 2017, over a year before the game released.
