    Potential Backwards Compatible game list from Xbox 360 Marketplace closure?


    Like most gamers, I have some hopes and interest in the preservation of older games. Also after the official Microsoft acquisition of Activision/Blizzard, there is even more hopes of these games being preserved. Since the announcement that the Xbox 360 Marketplace would be shutting down July 29, 2024, the clock is ticking. My curiosity peaked and decided to check to see just what is still currently available TO THIS DAY for purchase, not counting anything previously delisted/ removed from the Marketplace. Went game by game through the clunky alphabetical selection menu on the older 360 console and started with just by-passing anything that said "+playable on Xbox One". Next I removed the ones with a Xbox One release of the same game (ex. Lego Jurassic World), and then the games that have had a remastered release (ex. Metro 2033 Redux). Then sorted that list into classic Original Xbox games (12), regular 360 games (99, with 16 being considered a digital only release due to what seems to be no physical release in North America), Arcade games (149), and Kinect games (55). I was really surprised at the game list I had discovered that IS NOT CURRENTLY backwards compatible on the Xbox One, BUT IS STILL available to purchase on the 360 Marketplace. Would be even more curious as to why these particular games did not make it into the Backwards Compatibility Program, as they seem to be perfect candidates being still available and not already pulled for any licensing restrictions (did not list any of the Kinect games due to the Kinect bar not being compatible with the newer console).

    *This is simply a personal project of mine to get a list out there for anyone else also curious as to which games are actually still available for purchase on the older 360 Marketplace, and which games could potential become extinct. I did go through the list of games one-by-one, but it is possible I have misread or mistyped but am 99% sure of the list at the time of this writing in the new year 2024.

    Potential Backwards Compatible game list from Xbox 360 Marketplace closure?

    Well you can erase a lot of those

    Aliens colonial.Marines probably not going to it did so.badly.and fox changed ownership and the chaos involving aliens right now it's doubtful

    Also sports games.will.never.be renewed as they wouldn't make.money for.spending millions to renew licenses when they can sell newer

    You are better off buying newer versions

    How can I buy Dark Souls?

    Correct, Dark Souls is part of the xbox 360 backward compatibility list. If you purchase the game from the 360 xbox marketplace link, you will find the title in the games and apps section of xbox one "ready to install"

    For more info:

    Red dead redemption

    Hey Bio,

    I believe the issue maybe be related to the game of the edition not being a backwards compatible title. The games that are backwards compatible can be very specific based on the standard version or some other edition. One way to make sure an edition is backwards
    compatible is either it will clearly state it on the backwards compatible list found online or on Major Nelson's blog, or if you find the edition on the Xbox 360 marketplace and I can't find Red Dead Redemption game of the year edition on either the list or
    the marketplace. The standard version of Red Dead Redemption is what is listed on the marketplace and the full list of available backwards compatible games.

    Will purchased games on the Xbox One/Series store be playable on Xbox 360 after the shutdown

    Hi there SpencerN1, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Don't worry, if you purchase a backward compatible Xbox 360 game from the Xbox One/Series store, you'll still be able to download and play it on Xbox 360 and Xbox One/Series consoles even after the Xbox 360 Store closure. The closure of the Xbox 360 Store will only affect the ability to purchase new games and items from the Xbox 360 Marketplace, but it won't affect the way players play and download games they already own.

    For more information on what will happen after the closure of the Xbox 360 Store, please visit the following link:

    https://support.xbox.com/help/xbox-360/store/xbox-360-marketplace-update

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    Backwards compatability

    As you've probably seen from the
    Backwards Compatible list     there are very few sports orientated games available. The reason for this is licensing, and because of a legal dispute between NCAA and EA Games, the NCAA games were de-listed from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

    Microsoft and its associated partners only make games backward compatible that are available to purchase digitally via the Live Marketplace.
