Matchmaking for Horizon Arcade

Figured I’d create an official thread on the new forums to see if anyone else wants this feature.

I love Horizon Arcade. I’ve played over 500 of them, simply because I enjoy playing cooperatively with other players. But ever since launch, it’s been plagued with participation issues.
9/10 times, I’m the only one in the pink circle. And then I feel lucky on the off chance I see another player waiting.
Forzathon live from FH4 had its dips in participation, but in peak hours, I could reliably find 10+ players waiting for one to begin, and I always carved out time at the top of the hour to go have fun with a group of players.
I’m not doing it for the forzathon points, I’m doing it for fun! So if you could improve the logic behind the matchmaking, or I’d prefer just adding it to the horizon open multiplayer menu, that would make me very happy.

Dude, I have the same issue! I love doing Forza Arcade, and sadly I too, roughly 1 in 10 times I do it will I find other players joining, anyways, if you want to team up add me , my gamertag is KalidsBIYM. I Really do hope that maybe the way they did it for FH4 , where it like merged other players from other phases into your ARCADE, when no other players show up will be nice!

It would all be sorted in my opinion if they added a couple of features:

  1. List of players on the arcade and the points each are making in the rounds (kinda like in games)
  2. Give final forzathon points depending on your final position
  3. Have an Arcade world ranking
    That would do it
