Get ready to feel old and\/or cluttered, depending on how many consoles are hooked up to your game room TV right now. The Xbox 360 Store and Marketplace are coming to a close later this month. Microsoft announced this last year and put an official end date of July 29, according to its official FAQ page<\/a>. In case you didn\u2019t notice, the end of July is fast approaching.<\/p>\n All of the games, DLC and any gaming tidbits for Microsoft\u2019s second generation console won\u2019t be available to purchase or download on the Xbox 360 console. Your games and movie purchases are still safe, however, if you\u2019ve got any throwback titles on your Xbox One or Series X\/S console. You can also still watch your purchased movies and shows on Windows 10 and 11 devices.<\/p>\n Phew! For a minute there, I thought I might not be able to play NBA Jam: On Fire Edition <\/em>on my Xbox One. Running an even bigger headed Dirk Nowitski up and down the court is the only way to let out the frustrations from my day (and the last NBA Finals) without breaking stuff.<\/p>\n Microsoft first announced the shuttering of the Xbox 360 Store and Marketplace last year<\/a>. It may be unrelated, but Microsoft has had a tough year on the Xbox side. Most recently, the company announced a price increase<\/a> for its Game Pass Ultimate game buffet and online live plan from $17 a month to $20 and its Game Pass Core plan from $60 to $75. The Game Pass Core plan also includes access to PC games and comes with an EA Play membership.<\/p>\n So basically, the Xbox 360 is being taken off life support right now and we\u2019re all just waiting for it to pass on to that great, big used game store in the sky. You\u2019ve only got a few weeks left to offer your condolences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
