Reminder: There’s just one day left before Xbox 360’s Marketplace closes

Xbox 360 owners have one day left to purchase games from the console’s online marketplace.

As previously announced, after July 29, it will no longer be possible to buy any more games or DLC from the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Users will still be able to redownload their previous purchases for the foreseeable future, according to Microsoft.

Many digital Xbox 360 games have been discounted ahead of the closure, and you can view them all via this link.

While many of these games will still be playable via other means, around 220 of them will essentially disappear forever, VGC analysis has showed.

There are currently nearly 500 games in the ‘Games on Demand’ section of the Xbox 360 Store. This section deals with games which also have physical releases.

While these will all disappear when the Xbox 360 Store closes, some of them will still be available to purchase digitally on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S stores, if they’re part of Xbox‘s backwards compatible games library.

After it was announced that the store would be closing, Microsoft’s head of gaming said he’d like to find ways to ensure that hundreds of titles aren’t lost when the Xbox 360’s digital store closes.
