Microsoft Closing Down X Box 360 Digital Store

Microsoft has confirmed that it will be shutting down the Xbox 360’s online storefront next year. This means that Xbox 360 games and DLC, along with movies and TV shows purchased via the console’s Microsoft Movies & TV app, will no longer be able to be purchased on the Xbox 360 after that date.

Microsoft made this announcement on its website. As per the announcement, “new games, DLC, and other entertainment content” will no longer to be able to be purchased on Xbox 360 after the shutdown. It is important to note that this will not affect on games or DLC that Xbox owners purchased before the shutdown; as long as you own the game digitally, you will still be able to play or redownload it on your old Xbox 360 even after the store goes offline. It is also worthwhile emphasising that digital Xbox 360 games will still remain playable and purchasable via the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S console storefronts as well via backwards compatibility; they simply won’t be able to be directly purchased on the original console’s digital storefront.
