It\u2019s a sad, sad day for all Xbox fans as the Xbox 360 Store will be no more in just three months.<\/p>\n
Microsoft stunned gamers last August when they first announced that the Xbox 360 Marketplace would be closing after almost 19 years.<\/p>\n
Now, with just a few months to go before people have to say goodbye, a warning notice<\/a> has been added to the official Xbox website<\/a>.<\/p>\n This reads: \u201cThe Xbox 360 Store and the Xbox 360 Marketplace (marketplace.xbox.com) will be retired on July 29, 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n This means purchases through the Xbox 360 Store<\/a> or the Xbox 360 Marketplace will no longer be possible after July 29.<\/p>\n In addition, any content that has been distributed via the Store won\u2019t be available either. This includes games, trials, add-ons, avatar items, apps, gamerpics, game trailers, and videos.<\/p>\n It also includes gamertag changes, Xbox subscriptions on Xbox 360, in-game purchases, and even the video content that is played through the Microsoft Movies & TV app.<\/p>\n Hundreds of non-backward compatible digital games will be impacted too, including some iconic releases like Fight Night Round 3 and Test Drive Unlimited 2.<\/p>\n Other games to be affected are Renegade Ops, Mortal Kombat Arcade, Ion Assault, Backbreaker Vengeance, and over 200 more.<\/p>\n With almost two decades of being in the industry, the loss of the Xbox Store and Marketplace will likely be felt by many.<\/p>\n People can still play any games that have been purchased on the Xbox 360, including those that were purchased digitally or in physical disc format.<\/p>\n Even deleted games that have been purchased can still be re-downloaded. Playing with friends through multiplayer mode will also be unaffected, as long as the publisher still supports the online servers.<\/p>\n You can still buy backward-compatible Xbox 360 titles too as the initial announcement<\/a> on the website says the team believes \u201cin celebrating gaming\u2019s rich history and have worked hard to preserve as many games as possible through our backward-compatibility program.\u201d<\/p>\n Featured Image: Photo by Arturo Rey<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nCan I still play Xbox 360 games after July 29?<\/b><\/h2>\n
