The Xbox 360 store have it ’s own Red Ring of Death .
After 18 years of support , one of the Golden Age consoles is finally losing a long - fought fight with it drawing its final breath . While the Xbox 360 was home to some of the best exclusives of a forgone epoch , the ability to purchase these titles through the Xbox Store has been one of the biggest reasons to buy a newer console table , but it seems that all salutary thing must descend to an end at some point or another .

The newsworthiness was broken by Twitter ( late rebranded as X ) user@Wario64 , stating that the Xbox 360 Store is shutting down in July 2024 . While you’re able to continue to download and dally game that you have purchased before this clip , you will no longer be capable to buy games or DLC digitally for this console after the shutdown has commenced .
This may derive as a shock , particularly since Activision was recently in the news for play classic Call of Duty game back to life-time on the platform , but we really ca n’t be too surprised . Nintendo shuttered musical accompaniment for the 3DS and Wii U in about half the time , so we can only start building up a list of games we need to buy before the unfortunate closure .
According to theXbox Support Pageregarding this closing , fans that are hope to jump on for some multiplayer flush wo n’t need to worry , as stated in the following :
So , those that may have fall apart out their old cabinet after year of being in storage are still in fortune . If you have Physical discs or Digital downloads , you will still be able to redownload those and continue playing them , since Backwards Compatibility is not break down anywhere at this point .
While it ’s a shame to see the expiration of all these digital item , it ’s great to see that Microsoft had continued hold up this long - nonextant console for all these year . It ’s time to pour one out for one of the nifty cabinet of all clip , and desire that we can get our hand on all of our favorite games before the resellers do .
