As of , Ace Combat Assault Horizon is effectively "digital ghostware." While once a bold experiment for the franchise, it has been officially delisted from all major storefronts, including Steam , Xbox , and PlayStation , for several years.

However, the file-sharing community often embraces the game for exactly what it is: an arcade shooter. On forums where these repacks are discussed, comments often praise the game’s accessibility. It doesn't require a $500 HOTAS (Hands On Throttle-Stick) setup; a mouse and keyboard or an Xbox controller works perfectly. For many, the repack served as an entry point into the genre, eventually leading them to discover the "true" Ace Combat entries like Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown .
