  1. Digital Games Expiry and removal from Microsoft Library


    If I purchase a game, and you remove this game from you Microsoft library, will I be able to download and play it?, or I will not be able to download it as it is not in the library?, that affects my decision while purchasing xbox and my preference of disc vs digital

    At the moment, I’m purchasing xbox games and keeping them in my account, but I’m not playing, i have no time

    I don’t know when i will be able to play them

    :)

    Digital Games Expiry and removal from Microsoft Library

    If you purchase a game and it's delisted, it'll still be tied to your account so you can install it and play it.

    Backwards compatibility.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately this is unlikely. There are a number of reasons for this:

    • At the moment BC for Xbox 360 is suspended and Microsoft have not made any announcements if more games will be made BC ]
    • Lollipop chainsaw was delisted a few years ago now. It was removed from all digital stores for Xbox, PlayStation and PC. The problem was with the music licenses expiry. The developers/publishers didn't want to pay for the licensed music and so the game was removed from sale as a digital download.
    Since BC requires a digital download, BC isn't going to be possible with the expired music licenses.

    Hey, try uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it.

    if digital try downloading from the microsoft store not from your library

    ****........my Xbox 360 Store is strange....

    Hello there!

    My name is Jonny and I will be assisting you today!

    First, thank you so much for contacting us regarding your inquiry/ concern.

    Game developers/ publishers always pull games from digital libraries. Xbox won't remove any titles unless the creator of that game pulls it from the library which will prevent us players from buying it.

    Microsoft defends XB1 in Interview...

    If you buy disc it should still show up in your digital library, ergo your 10 "xbox family" members should still have access to it. Same restrictions apply, only one person playing it at a time. Sell back to a store, game is removed from digital library.
    This is where things are murky, the unique disc id has to be de-tethered from your GamerTag.
