Microsoft has been in trouble for the past few weeks, and with the Xbox 360 store closing on the horizon, things could have gotten worse. Instead, anyone worried about missing out on games that are about to be delisted now has an incredible opportunity to get them before they disappear.
Xbox 360 Store Shutdown – Why You Should STILL Play It
On July 29, the Xbox 360 Store is shutting down, as Microsoft ends support for the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other content through the marketplace after 18 years. This won’t prevent users who purchased those products from accessing them or enjoying some titles on newer consoles via backwards compatibility, but the option won’t be available for every game. As a result, access to hundreds of older games could be lost once the store goes offline. That’s why Xbox is stepping in, at least temporarily.
From May 14 until the store closes on July 29, Microsoft is working with as many publishing partners as possible from the past nearly two decades to give players the ultimate opportunity to complete their Xbox 360 digital catalog. An expanded list of Xbox 360 games, including those being removed and those that remain available, is live now, with price reductions of up to 90 percent on more than 60 titles.
From Cloudberry Kingdom and Dogfight 1942 to Tomb Raider and Worms Revolution, you can pick up a host of classic games at heavily discounted prices over the next two months. Not only is this list live, but it will also be getting two updates: one on June 18 and one on July 16, with more games being added in the run-up to the shutdown.
