Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 So full disclosure that this may potentially be a nothing burger, but thought it was still worth bringing to the attention of the 2-3 people here that still have an Xbox 360 that may or may not care about this potential "news". Earlier today, Microsoft posted this on the Xbox support website: However, not too long after, they claimed this was "in error" and the marketplace will not be closing in May: However, earlier this week, it was confirmed that several games will be getting delisted from the Xbox 360 marketplace on 7th February. This doesn't affect the same games being sold on the Xbox One and Series X/S storefronts, and you will still be able to redownload your previously purchased content - however - there will be some digital only games lost completely (to purchase anyway) as a result of these delistings. It should be noted that the article that was apparently posted "in error" stated they "encourage" people to buy 360 games and DLC by May 2023, not that the marketplace was going to close at that time. It's possible Microsoft may plan to slowly phase out the 360 marketplace with further delistings, culminating in a full shutdown sometime in the "near" (next year or so) future. Obviously this is just conjecture based on recent happenings, but it'd probably be best to buy any 360 games/DLC you still want - especially those exclusive to the 360 storefront, and those being delisted in less than a week from now - ASAP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExHaseo Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It was just a matter of time before it happened. I'm surprised it's lasted this long tbh. I'm glad they're at least leaving up the ability to redownload for a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozalia1 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Obviously not an error but a walk back. Seems they underestimated how their supporters would feel about the matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iriihutoR84 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Phil would never do this to gamers. He loves us too much and is for altruistic reasons committed to keeping all Xbox games up for sale forever and ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
