A decent list, but it's ending with a whimper
Well, we really are almost at the end now! The Xbox 360 store officially closes on July 29th, 2024, and Microsoft has today unveiled the final ever sales list for the store ahead of its closure - there won't be any more after this!
You ready for the bad news? Nothing appears to have been added today. We were expecting a big batch of discounts on July 16th to finish the store off, but instead Microsoft has just combined all the recent sales into a big table.
"This is expected to be the final time we will be updating this list. If any additional changes are made, we’ll update with a new Editor’s Note to remain transparent about any changes that take place."
As part of this, various titles have also been removed from the sales that were previously listed incorrectly. These are Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, Burnout 3: Takedown, Fight Night Round 3, Just Dance Kids 2014, Need For Speed Undercover and Space Invaders Infinity Gene.
So, here's the final list of Xbox 360 store sales ahead of the July 29th closure date:
As we've mentioned before, you'll find games in this list that have since received more modern versions for Xbox One, Series X and Series S, so keep that in mind before buying anything. The large majority of the games mentioned here are not backwards compatible with modern consoles, so that's another thing to be aware of.
For those who are worried about backwards compatible games specifically, anything that's currently purchasable on the modern Xbox Store shouldn't be affected when the Xbox 360 marketplace closes on July 29th.
Although we haven't received any new additions to the list today, Microsoft has at least treated us to a brand-new Xbox 360 'Blades' dynamic background on Series X and Series S - you'll find more details elsewhere on Pure Xbox:
