How long does Microsoft keep the digital copy online ?

OppositeBobcat8 · Dec 10, 2018

Recently, I was forced to migrated my dead xbox 360 slim (RDOD) to another xbox 360E.

During the process, I noticed that one of the digital copy of the game (watch_dogs) that I owned is not available on MS store (SG) anymore.

And there is no way to re-download it anymore because of the above reason.

My question is how long does digital copy of the game last ?

It seem like CD copies are better option here as it last as long as the disk is readable.

Any comment ?

You should be able to redownload it from your download history. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/store/redownload-content

There is no set timeline for digital content to remain on the store. Content can be removed due to licensing issues or things like poor sales. But once you purchase something you can redownload it even if it's been removed from the store.

Usually the only reason a game is removed is if there is a licensing issue with content in the game. Also usually when a game is delisted its just removed from purchasing. Normally if you already bought a game that’s been delisted you can still download
it.

I got the titanfall package so it was a digital copy and It took nearly 4 hours to download.. After BF4 and Ryse both discs didnt take so long when i turned off my xbox. And ive been waiting on the digital copy i got online Of 2k14 to download for about
2 nights now. Im still waiting it is at 89%. Microsoft has to address this immediately.
