On July 29, 2024, Xbox will stop supporting the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content from the Xbox 360 Store on the console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace. This change will not affect your ability to play Xbox 360 games or DLC you have already purchased.
Curious to see if people will put the same energy reacting to this move as they did when Sony tried to close the PS3 / Vita stores.
End of an era...
I still use my 360 as it has several games installed that aren't available to get on the modern systems. Outrun online, afterburner climax, renegade ops, the tmnt games... too many to just unplug it.
Everything else that is bc on newer I already downloaded to my 4tb external.
And with that news sonic 06 just became the most valuable game in my collection
Really sad day for gamers and game preservation. Bozo Jim Ryan tried to pull a fast one on us like this back in 2021 and we kept the PS3 store up. It's a shame that with MS' move that many digital only titles, DLC packs, themes, avatars, etc. will be lost to time. There are a lot of great 360 games that did not make it to the backwards compatibility program and are not playable on Series consoles. Hopefully preservationists will get busy and help store this content for future retention. Time to hop on the 360 store and grab some games before they are gone forever.
Physical 360/PS3 discs are a wise investment in 2023. I imagine certain 360 games will spike on this news.
If you are interested in helping the preservation of games, I recommend checking out https://www.preservegames.o... ( https://discord.gg/NFhbdwEY... or r/OnlinePreservation over on Reddit. There are many other preservation projects out there as well.
Remember when people were up in arms over Sony attempting this?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
