On July 29, 2024, Xbox will stop supporting the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content from the Xbox 360 Store on the console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace. This change will not affect your ability to play Xbox 360 games or DLC you have already purchased.

After an impressive eighteen year run, the Xbox 360 storefront will be shuttered in July 2024, officially ending support for Microsoft’s most successful system. The Xbox 360 is easily Microsoft’s plateau as a console manufacturer, comparable to the Sega Genesis in disrupting the status quo and giving a dominant industry force serious competition.

However, all game consoles are fated to be abandoned by their creators, and the Xbox 360’s turn will be the summer of next year. Games purchased before July 29th 2024 can still be played and even downloaded on an Xbox 360, but if you want to buy Xbox 360 games after the cut off date, you’ll have to purchase and play them on an Xbox One or a Series S/X.
