On July 29, 2024, both the Xbox 360 Store on console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace will close, stopping the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content. Microsoft has made it clear, however, that all of the games and DLC you’ve purchased up until that date will still be playable, you’ll still be able to download deleted games, and if a game’s servers are still live, you’ll be able to play online. Additionally, you can still buy backwards compatible Xbox 360 games and DLC on the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, as they’re available via a separate storefront.
The Xbox 360 was a remarkable time in Xbox’s history, so it’s certainly sad to see the Xbox 360 store come to an end, no matter how logical it may seem. For this week’s poll, we want to know: do you agree it’s time for the Xbox 360 Store to close? Let us know by voting and dropping a comment below. Have a great weekend, everybody!
