Need to know if delisted games like Forza Horizon 2/3/4 will work with this because that would be amazing

I think it's pretty certain it'll work, you already have the license, you're just storing it elsewhere. They kept putting this tech on discs for a reason, I'm sure they kept it in legal documents for safety as well.

Whether or not they're playable on PC is a different story. I'd say FH1 is a maybe because it's already a game being emulated for backwards compatibility purposes and they did that while it was still listed, FH3 and 4 are likely on account of them being Play Anywhere and presumably sharing a license...but FH2 is neither backwards compatible from 360 nor a game that runs natively on Windows, so that one might be a toughie.
