    Downloaded Games On Demand..


    What happens at the end of the XBOX 360's life cycle when the online is eventually discontinued? Do we have to go out and buy enough memory sticks to re-download all the games we had purchased over the years so we won't lose them forever? Personally I am
    a huge fan of being able to download full retail games, it is just that the hard drives are so small, I fill them up quickly and have to delete older games to make room for new downloads.

    One day i'd like to buy enough memory cards to get them all back, but I was curious as to what happens if we don't download all our games before the XBOX One has full taken over. Would be nice to be able to somehow incorporate old purchases into the new
    system, but I know as of now the One is not backwards compatible.

    If I am thinking too far ahead then thats ok, but it was something I have had on my mind now for awhile, being that I am an avid supporter of the digital downloads.

    :)

    Beautiful Katamari on Xbox 360 crashes constantly. What to do?

    Do you have the disc or the downloaded Games On Demand version?

    Incomplete download

    Forgot to mention - I haven't downloaded anything quite that big, but I downloaded a game on demand last year that was about 5.5 gb.

    it would virtually impossible to transfer those games to xbox one but the good news is the games you downloaded on demand stay on your account FOREVER just go to xbox dashboard-settings-account management-download history (it would show all the games you
    downloaded and everything you basically downloaded on that account

    i guess his question is more meant in a way:

    if xbox live on 360 is discontinued (like gfwl service seeing its end), can i still play my games on demand?

    as long as your games are saved on hdd and your xbox which currently holds the licenses is doing its job, in technical sense your games will still work with the same reasoning as you could play them offline.

    The games still exist on your HDD.......

    If you don't delete or move them, they will be availible forever. (or the life of the HDD)

    Multiplayer, Updates and DLC maybe unavailable but, just like using a disk, everything else will be fine. Local multiplayer will still work too.

    The Xbox Live service isn't going anywhere for a few years.

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    Thanks everyone for the answers! Looks like I will be needing to stockpile some memory cards then within the next few years. Appreciate it.

    Gears 5 slow to download on pc

    Hi,

    Most likely demand is too high to get a fast download at the moment. It's new and lots of users are trying to download it.

    If other games download normally from Game Pass on PC, then demand will be the issue.

    Going to try downloading it later on my PC. Will let you know.
