With the closure of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 digital store looming, the company has announced a final batch of heavy discounts on earlier-gen titles, as well as the release of a new Xbox Series X/S dynamic background, inspired by the Xbox 360’s much-loved “blades” dashboard design.
Microsoft announced the impending closure of its Xbox 360 digital store last August, revealing it would no longer be possible to purchase games, DLC, or other entertainment content via the Xbox 360 console or web-based Xbox 360 Marketplace from 29th July this year.
It did, however, confirm previously purchased Xbox 360 games and DLC would remain downloadable and playable – including via backward compatibility on modern consoles – even after the store’s closure. And since then, it’s been working with third-party publisher to offer heavy price reductions on its digital Xbox 360 catalogue.
