Can we please get the Halo games delisted this week, relisted please?

alxyar · Dec 28, 2020

Been looking for decent discount on these games for a while - thought this holiday season would be that time. Nope. Instead, a sudden, unexpected, unannounced delisting. I get the games are available in Halo : MCC, but I want to get these on 360 [and
MCC is not on 360]. So. please, Microsoft, will you please relist these games so I can finally get them? Thanks

:)

Had a look & i was right,the servers for the 360 versions of the Halo games are closing down at the end of 2021 which is why the games have been delisted.

Thanks, Daft Badger, but my point isn't about WHY delisting has taken its more about HOW. I would have thought something like "Dear Halo fans, the following games are going to leave the store this month. Grab them whilst you can and thanks for your support
in making Halo the game it is today" would have been good for those players like myself that prefer to have their games digitally.

Its possible I'm in the minority but thought it was worth a post just to let MS know this hasn't gone unnoticed.

I read somewhere that the online servers for the xbox 360 versions of the Halo games are shutting down soon which would most likely be why they have been delisted.

If this is the case then you would need to try & buy the 360 versions on disc.

I'm not 100% sure whether the server thing is true or not but i wouldn't be surprised if it is true.

Not unless you can tell me if any delisted games will ever be relisted. Some have, but none of the really good ones.

It's very rare that they've ever been relisted. Games are delisted for various reasons so depending on the reason it can make it difficult to bring it back.
