    Why can’t I download Xbox 360 games from the marketplace?


    Game downloads hang at 79% then revert to zero, then 79% again. This cycle continues until I get the message “cannot download game”. I have seen from past forum posts that the problem originally occured in march 2020, but i cannot find a ultimate resolution to the query? Any help would be appreciated

    :)

    As far as I can see it is only from xbox 360 and you have to buy a disk as you can’t but it on the marketplace it seems.

    Xbox Gift Card Balance Not in List of Payment Methods for Xbox 360 Store, but Works Fine with Xbox One Store

    You can't buy 360 games from the xbox one as they are separate marketplaces

    Only way to download 360 games is an 360 console.or the 360 Web marketplace

    Xbox Account Region Changed by Mistake

    I can confirm I’m able to make purchases on Xbox Series X store using the UK storefront and my UK bank card. I’m also able to do the same from the Microsoft store on Windows 11. Only thing I can’t do is the 360 marketplace as that forces me to use the foreign store. Is there anything else I need to be aware of or is it just the 360 marketplace I’m locked out of for 90 days? All of my games, licenses etc all appear to still be working despite the migration and my windows 11 and Xbox are both using the UK region despite my account region being some foreign country. Only thing I can’t do, like I said, is buy DLC for a backwards compatible Xbox 360 game from the 360 marketplace as the old 360 marketplace is forcing the foreign region with no way of manually switching (windows & Xbox series X storefronts can be manually switched).
