    Xbox 360 MarketPlace Closure


    I am just wondering when the Xbox 360 Marketplace closes on July 29th 2024 what will happen to all the games. Would they be archived on a server. I do understand publishers and developers still have access but I am wondering what would Microsoft still have? I had a 360 for 10 years and it was the best console I have ever played, I had so

    Many memories I would like to know what will happen mainly to the small indie developers and would we still be able to get our games we owned redownloaded. I understand a lot of the big titles are now on there he next generation. We know that there are thousands of indie games I am curious on how they would be preserved?

    :)

    Xbox 360 MarketPlace Closure

    Hi there Thomas_Rose, 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.

    The only thing that will happen starting on July 29, 2024, is that you won't be able to make any purchases from the Xbox 360 Store. However, you will be able to play the games you have purchased up to that point whenever you want. The closure of the Xbox 360 store doesn't mean you won't be able to access your purchased games.

    Xbox announced the closure of the Xbox 360 store well in advance, giving users the opportunity to buy any Xbox 360 games they're interested in before the shutdown, including the indie games you mentioned.

    It's also important to note that you can continue playing games in disc format if you have them, as the closure only applies to the digital Xbox 360 store.

    You can find all this information and more details about the Xbox 360 store closure in the following link:

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

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.

    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.

    how will the people buy Minecraft after Xbox marketplace/store's shut down?

    Hi there, 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.

    If you are referring to the closure of the Xbox 360 store, please keep in mind that this will occur until July 2024. Xbox announced this closure well in advance, so it is recommended that players purchase the games they want during this period. Once the store is closed, it will not be possible to buy Xbox 360 games digitally from that marketplace, including Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition.

    However, remember that this will only affect games that can be purchased digitally. If you have a game in disc format, you will still be able to play it without any issues. After July 2024, obtaining new games that were not previously purchased digitally will require physical disc copies.

    You can find more information about the closure of the Xbox 360 store and the reasons behind it at the following link:

    https://news.xbox.com/2023/08/17/xbox-360-store-will-close-july-2024/

    I hope you understand, and I hope this information is helpful to you. Like you, I am an Xbox player, and I share your nostalgia for the closure of the Xbox 360 digital store, as it marks the end of a digital era for many of us who grew up with that console and its games.

    Best regards.

    Stop shutting the 360 servers down

    There is no official news on a closure of 360 servers. Why would you feel that way?
