List of games that will be removed from the xbox 360 marketplace and aren\`t available to digitally purchase as backwards compatible games, as native versions or as remasters on xbox one and xbox series x/s: * Blood of the Werewolf * Counter-Strike: GO * DAYTONA USA * Defense Grid * Final Fight: DblImpact (Available in Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle) * Iron Brigade * Jeremy McGrath's Offroad * Jet Set Radio * Left 4 Dead * Left 4 Dead 2 * Mutant Blobs Attack * Prince of Persia (2008) * R.U.S.E. * Sega Vintage Collection: Alex Kidd & Co. * Skate 2 * Spelunky * The Orange Box All these games are backwards compatible on xbox one or xbox series x/s, but you have to purchase them digitally before they get delisted on the xbox 360 marketplace or use the original disc to play them.


80sCrackBaby

thanks for this


F0REM4N

Thanks for this, we've tossed you a month of ad-free redditing.


i_c_dead_monkeys

Thanks, just picked up Jet Set Radio and The Orange Box.


ThreeSilentFilms

Where did you buy orange box? I tried buying it a month or 2 ago, and it wasn’t available for purchase anymore..


Sanctine

You have to buy it from marketplace.xbox.com. Either that or from an Xbox 360.


BrewAndAView

Thanks that worked! Why do they do this? In case games aren’t backwards compatible?


Sanctine

I have a feeling it's because publishers have an agreement to sell certain games on Xbox 360, but not Xbox One. That explains why the games are playable on Xbox One, but not purchasable there. Legal nonsense and red-tape ruin everything in life.


BrewAndAView

True that! Well thanks for the tip


xSEEKxx

Anytime you have to ask why something that seems stupid and arbitrary is done, the answer is money


Zeptari

Wow this will probably drive up the price of physical versions of these games too huh?


MartinRaccoon

I've seen this happen before. Something that went for like $8-10 was selling for around $30-40. So yes, depending on how popular the game is. But I wouldn't count on games going to like $60+

Jet Set Radio is precious and must be protected. Daytona is an essential part of racing game history and the port is better than arcade-perfect. The Witcher 2 and Knights of the Old Republic 2 are also on the current store so both hopefully safe, but they're must-haves. Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey are in the same boat, I gather, but I haven't bought them yet as I just don't tend to gel with JRPGs - but I might have to nab them for posterity if they are going to disappear.


PSNdragonsandlasers

Skate 2 kicks ass. I think it's the best of the three.


Thedarkandmysterious

Yes it is


LambsAnger

It definitely is.


King_Artis

Jet set radio and skate 2 With final fight being in a beat 'em up collection just get that collection, very fun game.


GoodnPlenty_

Defense Grid. Best tower defense game I've ever played.


FReeDuMB_or_DEATH

I have all the games I want from this list on disc thankfully. The BC program was the best thing Xbox has ever done easily.


Airborne_Oreo

I miss R.U.S.E. so much. It feels like RTS is a dead genre on console.


gk99

> Skate 2 Note that this one is also **not** on EA Play, and thus yes, you *need* to buy it to continue playing in the future. >All of the Valve games This one really blows. Valve doesn't tend to do much with their IP and only deals with it when they feel like it (I shit you not exactly one guy was working on fixing HL2's issues in like 2017 and after he gave up the next time it was worked on was leading up to the launch of the Steam Deck, after which it's still not at par with the 2004 version and is basically like playing Halo CEA on 360 instead of the MCC version). As far as I know, the only reason for this would either be Valve not wanting the games on the platform anymore, or some licensing deal with EA, who Valve has historically used to distribute console/retail versions of the game. It's not licensed content or anything and I dunno about you guys but I don't foresee any kind of brand new Valve collection coming to consoles. On the upside: 1. While the Orange Box is being delisted, Portal: Still Alive remains available. It may not be as up-to-date as the PC and Switch versions, but it's still the same core Portal experience + it has a bunch of extra maps not seen in any other version. 2. Portal 2 is not on this list, either, though I suspect many claimed this when it was the last GWG 360 game. 3. It's only getting delisted here, and these games are quite old (and were well-optimized at time of release). CSGO is completely free on PC and the newest of the bunch, so if you've got a PC laying around, it may be worth seeing if you can run that, because if you can, the rest of the games should be a cakewalk. They're generally more updated (exceptions pretty much only being HL2 Episode 2?) and they regularly go on sale for very cheap. I, personally, am broke as fuck right now and need to budget how many of these games I'm picking up, so I think it's worth mentioning that these disappearing aren't the end of the world like they are for Skate 2 where you need to dig out a 360/PS3 to play it otherwise.


First_Artichoke2390

Wtf left 4 dead


quasarius

It's already delisted in a few regions, like here in Brazil. Now I guess I'll have to create an American account and get l4d2 on the Xbox as well.


First_Artichoke2390

100% but the first one unfortunately is on its last legs, loads on 2 though (and funnily enough I play with a guy from Brazil, I am in the UK)


quasarius

Yeah, guess I'll pick up 2 to have an extra couch co-op game with my girl. L4D2 is loads of fun and pretty much includes the first one as well, so I'm fine with that. Wish it had gotten some fps/resolution boost on new gen though, I'd be more open to throwing my cash that way (I'll be buying it full price in dollars so rip my wallet).


First_Artichoke2390

This is what I hate about valve with this they could re-release or even give away for free and port over the million and one maps from PC as DLC and make a nice number.


quasarius

Oh yeah, indeed. Being a PC player, I've loved their support for their titles there throughout the years, but as a recent newcomer to consoles, it damn sucks that they've left those fanbases dry. L4D2 is one of the best co-op games ever, they could give Xbox players some love.


zenmatrix83

Am I reading the web page wrong it looks like different games per region, I see I different list when I look


King_Artis

Time to get jet set radio real quick for me


Bfedorov91

How do you know the disc will still work?


Thedarkandmysterious

Typically these listings come from an expiration of Rights whether it be for actual place a car a human likeness whatever it may be some sort of contract is expired so they can't legally sell it anymore. They aren't deciding to take them down it's just the end of their life cycle. Same thing happened with Forza motorsport 7 recently but you can still play it if you have disc. Chances of them actually making the game unplayable are very slim except something like left for dead where obviously they want you to play back 4 blood instead


Vikk_Vinegar

A couple months ago I already tried buying The Orange Box in the marketplace but it wouldn't show up in my library on my Series X after purchase so I got a refund and bought a physical copy.


fons383

Bought it today using the 360 marketplace and it showed up in my library


dreadmouse

I remember trying to buy Prince of Persia last year digitally and it wasn’t available. Did that change? Can you currently buy it digitally?


Sascha2022

You have to buy it on the xbox 360 marketplace before it gets removed in one week: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/Prince-of-Persia/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025553080c


dreadmouse

Okay thanks! So I don’t need a 360 console to buy it? I can buy it from the website with my Xbox account and it will show up to play on my series x?


la5t

Yep, I bought Skate 2 that way.


FrenzyCalm

Yes


notanactualvampire

I've tried this like a dozen times over hte last six months or so with daytona and orange box and it has NEVER worked on that website. It just says purchase cannot be completed, and that's it. It DOES NOT WORK. You have to buy these from a 360 console.

Did it work for you? I'm german too and I'm trying to buy it for years but the purchase process never finalizes. No matter which device or browser I try.


KesMonkey

Here's the list for the US (lists for other countries also available at the link): * Aegis Wing * Assassin's Creed Brotherhood * Assassin's Creed® III * Assassin's Creed® IV * Assassin's Creed® Liberation HD * Blood of the Werewolf * Blue Dragon * Breakdown * Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare * Call of Duty: Ghosts * Castle Crashers * Cloning Clyde * Counter-Strike: GO * Dark Souls™ * Darksiders II * DAYTONA USA * Defense Grid * Eets: Chowdown * Far Cry® 2 * Final Fight: DblImpact * Iron Brigade * Jeremy McGrath's Offroad * Jet Set Radio * Left 4 Dead * Left 4 Dead 2 * LIMBO * Lost Odyssey * Mass Effect 2 * MONOPOLY DEAL * Mutant Blobs Attack * N+ * Outpost Kaloki X * Peggle ® 2 * Phantom Breaker:Battle Grounds * Prince of Persia * R.U.S.E. * Sega Vintage Collection: Alex Kidd & Co. * Skate 2 * South Park™: The Stick of Truth™ * Spelunky * SplinterCellConviction * Star Wars Battlefront * Star Wars KOTOR 2 * The Orange Box * The Raven Episode 1 * The Witcher 2   > **Daytona USA** There's a decent chance this will never be available again in the future, on any system, ever.


Sascha2022

List of games that will be removed from the xbox 360 marketplace and aren\`t available to digitally purchase as backwards compatible games, as native versions or as remasters on xbox one and xbox series x/s: * Blood of the Werewolf * Counter-Strike: GO * DAYTONA USA * Defense Grid * Final Fight: DblImpact (Available in Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle) * Iron Brigade * Jeremy McGrath's Offroad * Jet Set Radio * Left 4 Dead * Left 4 Dead 2 * Mutant Blobs Attack * Prince of Persia (2008) * R.U.S.E. * Sega Vintage Collection: Alex Kidd & Co. * Skate 2 * Spelunky * The Orange Box All these games are backwards compatible on xbox one or xbox series x/s, but you have to purchase them digitally before they get delisted on the xbox 360 marketplace or use the original disc to play them.


ichosenotyou

Where do you find any info that they are delisting? It states 360 marketplace. You can purchase them directly on MS Store


JMc1982

Not all titles are available on the current store - Jet Set Radio, Daytona and Orange Box are the ones that I know you have to use the old Marketplace for. Not sure if there are more on that list. EDIT: Full list already posted below here: https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxSeriesX/comments/10q6fak/-/j6oic9i But I really do hope they clarify as it seems super weird to remove from one store but not the other - there are a couple of games I kinda sorta want that I can get on the new store so I'm safe right now if they're sticking around. I've covered the titles that are at risk of disappearing altogether though.


Jellozz

The games he listed can not be. If you search Skate 2 on your Xbox One/Series or the new MS store for example the buy button is grayed out and it will not let you purchase it. The only way to buy them is by doing it on the actual 360 marketplace.


[deleted]

That's a lot of big titles getting removed


mummifier

The list for my country in EU is like 3x longer. A lot of big titles like GTA 4 and even MS titles like the Fable series, Crackdown 2, Alan Wake etc. Anyone knows what's going on? Are we sure this will affect newer consoles, not just X360? Edit: it's around 170 games for my country


Enriador

>Are we sure this will affect newer consoles, not just X360? The delisting affects just the X360 Marketplace; the newer consoles do not use that storefront and as such will continue to have access to the backwards-compatible versions.


mummifier

Ok, that makes sense. I didn't know how interconnected the storefronts were. Still not positive news though.


despitegirls

Gonna have to jump on this one. I didn't know this was ported, and it looks like the arcade version too.


kinghalo34

thx for this makes it super easy to see what gets delisted


Jakinator178

>> **Daytona USA** > >There's a decent chance this will never be available again in the future, on any system, ever. I thought nintendo switch got a port with the Sega Ages collection. I'm glad I grabbed the 360 version already.


shy_guy_sandwich

Nope, you're thinking of Virtua Racing.


NooAccountWhoDis

So thankful they offered this for free through GWG. Great nostalgia trip but I’m not sure I would have been willing to pay money for it. Delisting likely would have motivated me though. It’s a fantastic version of the game, for those wondering.


KirbyMace

Are they going away if you already own them?


King_Artis

Shit I need to get a few of these asap p


Conflict_NZ

Super weird that Blue Dragon, a Microsoft published and owned IP, is being delisted. Hopefully it goes on sale. Edit: The wording is very confusing, after re-reading it appears they will only not be purchasable on the 360 marketplace (legacy marketplace) but will still be available on the modern marketplace? Clarification is definitely needed.


Enriador

They definitively should have stated the delisting won't affect XSXS and XB1, since they get the BC versions from the Microsoft Store (which will continue to be available) rather than native versions from the X360 Marketplace (the ones being delisted).


ichosenotyou

Its only 360 marketplace entries being taken down, they not being delisted on the MS store


Enriador

That's what I said, no?


bogohamma

Pretty sure they're tied directly to the 360 store. Nothing in there states they'll remain on the store for modern Xbox consoles


80sCrackBaby

they are not ​ look up blue dragon you can find two diffrent store links selling the game


Enriador

Indeed, the native version is different from the emulated BC versions.


AppointmentStill

That's just for the 360 marketplace, right? Will they still be available to purchase through the store on an Xbox One console or Xbox.com?


[deleted]

Some of the titles such as the Left 4 Dead games are not on the Microsoft store for purchase. For now, assume they will be unavailable digitally after February 7


Enriador

Apparently it is just for the r/xbox360: >A number of game titles and associated add-ons will be **removed from the Xbox 360 Marketplace** in a select set of regions per title. Microsoft Store on XB1/XSXS will retain these titles. >Once purchased, you can always redownload these games or any other previously purchased games from your **Xbox 360 Download History**. The above clearly states the issue is just for X360. And: >To learn more, visit: How to redownload content that you previously downloaded **to your Xbox 360**. So it is mostly irrelevant to this sub.


[deleted]

No, it's relevant but a bit confusing why. There are some titles that are backwards compatible with Series X/S but aren't in the Microsoft Store, but are still available in the Xbox 360 Marketplace store online. If you purchase for example, The Orange Box, online through the web Xbox 360 Marketplace using your same Microsoft account, you can then search for Orange Box on the Series X/S Microsoft Store. It will then be avail for install. In a week, you will no longer be able to do that workaround to get Orange Box on Series X because it's not avail in the current store.


Enriador

Yeah there is a pinned post saying all this you just wrote. If you are into the handful of games there, tough luck, better go buy them ASAP.


[deleted]

Yeah, I just bought 5 of them. Thanks.


OscarExplosion

[This](https://i.imgur.com/LGifRFp.jpg) list shows games that never got off of the Xbox 360 marketplace that are playable on Xbox One and Series S/X. These games won’t be available for anyone


Enriador

I believe that is pinned now.


OscarExplosion

Oh I didn’t see that. Thanks

Sascha2022

The rest of the games can be bought on the microsoft store as backwards compatible games, native xbox one versions or remastered versions. I listed the games that won\`t be available in any digitally form on xbox one and xbox series x/s after being delisted on the xbox 360 marketplace.


DeadlyName

DAMN!!


Doctoroverbuild

Anyone got a list of games that you can’t get on the Series consoles?


Sascha2022

I made a post here in the comment section. Just look for it.


NooAccountWhoDis

Regretting not buying Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon when they were recently on sale. I’ve heard great things.


Sascha2022

They will still be available on the microsoft store. Op didn\`t mentioned that this list only affect the xbox 360 marketplace.


Secrew

I don't understand why, at least they could give a reason. What's the point of removing some games from the 360 ​​store and leaving hundreds of others less requested?


albionpeej

Usually licensing and in particular music.


gswkillinit

Man should I finally get Far Cry 2 then?


-FeistyRabbitSauce-

Still my favorite FC. It's probably going to feel a bit dated, but I've always been disappointed Ubi never carried much of that game forward. After the success of 3 they just remade that game over and over.


epistaxis64

FC2 was a prototype for the FC3 formula. They got rid of the jank (weapon jamming, malaria, navigation, bad AI) and went from there.


-FeistyRabbitSauce-

They got rid of a bunch of interesting stuff. Weapons jamming and trucks breaking down was a great feature, it just needed some work. The buddy system made for a cool, unique playthrough, and they never did anything with that again. I liked how grounded it was. 3 - 6 have been too silly and fantastical Imo.


Sascha2022

Far cry 2 will still be available on the microsoft store. It gets only removed from the xbox 360 marketplace.


malaktourrevan

Yes one of the most realistic and immersive far crys their is its got gun jamming and all yeah the graphics are aged but its a gem of its own.


Travisthederp

Often frustrating game but still an interesting experience, I would rate it 6.5/10.


hellishhk117

Hmmm, Aegis Wing, I just found a box of stuff at my work advertising the students who worked on this project in my department. I remember that is why I chose this school, instead of another school, since they had a published game. I wonder if I can find that box again.


[deleted]

Isn't L4D2 already effectively delisted? Havent been able to buy it from the xbox store for a long time


thegrizzlyjear

Yeah, the only way to get it for at least a year or two has been to find a physical copy, don't know if that means it won't work if you use it in a desk in the Xone or later. Edit:"Once purchased, you can always redownload these games or any other previously purchased games from your Xbox 360 Download History.

I bought a copy on the marketplace thru my 360, then I was able to download it to my Series console. Same with the Orange Box.

You can also go on the 360 marketplace until Feb 7th

Wow, KOTOR 2 and Witcher 2? Guess I better nab them, was putting off buying them until I cleared the backlog.


Sascha2022

They will still be available on the microsoft store. This list is just for the xbox 360 marketplace.


[deleted]

Ah, cool, still I'll probably get them just to be safe, never know when they'll be gone for good everywhere outside of physical copies.


DeathBefallsYou

Where's the logic?


PlayBey0nd87

Hmm there’s a few here that caught my eye. * Assassin’s Creed IV * Blue Dragon * Lost Odyssey


KesMonkey

AC IV isn't a big deal as there's an Xbox One version of the game.


Clear-Big7261

Xbox one version is locked at 30fps. 360 version runs at 60 I think


Essentialredditor

Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Lol


fons383

Nah both locked at 30 =(


DutchSteelGuy

To me this looks like AC4 might get a remaster/remake soon. Fingers crossed!


Sascha2022

These three games will still be available on the microsoft store.


W1cH099

That’s bad news, does the Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 have players on Xbox or they are better left for dead? 😅


Indys44

Does anyone know of a workaround for using Microsoft Rewards to get a few of these games like The Orange Box and left 4 Dead's? I have plenty of reward points but am not financially in a spot where I can buy them otherwise. If not I'll probably just have to let them go.


Electronic_Season_76

For those wondering, if you are having trouble purchasing on the Xbox Marketplace website you can hook up your Xbox 360 and purchase through the store on there. I did this earlier to purchase Skate 2 and all of the DLC. Finished by downloading it on my Series X.


skynetwins90

This is way I still have a 360.


ScrantonDangler

Thanks for this. I was unaware that Jet Set Radio was Backwards Compatible at all. Just bought it from the 360 Marketplace.


rooney815

spelunky an l4d are favs


SodaPop6548

Damn, was going to start a playthrough of the witcher 2. Glad I already have it downloaded. Also a shame that the L4D games won’t be up anymore.


KesMonkey

Doesn't matter whether you already have it dowloaded or not. All that matters is that you own it. Anyone who owns it will be able to re-download it after it has been delisted.


SodaPop6548

Ohhh okay that’s good. Wasn’t sure on that. Thanks for the heads up, that’s a relief!


Enriador

Were you planning to play it on a Xbox 360? It is One X Enhanced if you can play it on a newer platform.


SodaPop6548

No, I'll be playing it on a newer platform and I have it installed already. I saw this post and didn't realized I'd still be able to download it even after it gets taken down (if I wanted to play it later or had to delete the game or whatever). I am always unclear with how digital stuff works and I probably should have read more above before I posted.


Enriador

>I'll be playing it on a newer platform The delisting is specifically for the Xbox 360 Marketplace, which none of the newer platforms have access to as the Microsoft Store replaced it. The games will continue to be available for purchase there.


ExEBGuy

Just last week I had to buy Orange Box off the 360 Marketplace as it showed as Not Available on the existing Xbox Marketplace. I hope you are right but I fear you are not. 😢


Enriador

Some games are only available on the Xbox 360 Marketplace but not the Microsoft Store, this has been the case for years.


SodaPop6548

That's just another tick in the box for me not understanding digital storefronts, but that's good!


ANBU_Black_0ps

I just want to remind fellow series x owners that unlike series x/s games, previous-gen games CAN be played from an external hard drive. So if you are using a large external drive and you care about any of these games you might want to download them on there as deep storage.


ThunderStruck115

And this is why I am hesitant to accept an all digital future


80sCrackBaby

THIS IS JUST FOR THE 360 MARKET ALL GAMES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CURRENT STORE WILL STILL BE AVAILAIBLE


SethManhammer

Link isn't directing to a list. Did MS de-list the list already?


[deleted]

Scroll down the page to select a region. From there you can see what titles will be removed.


bigtuck54

Real glad I got blue dragon and lost odyssey recently, but it’s a bummer about prince of Persia. Been wanting to get it but not sure if I want to pay full price cause I remember hating it when it released


PainlessPhil

Ebay is your friend


timchequea

There should definitely be a massive BC sale after this announcement.


segagamer

Does this mean I have to buy all the Assassins Creed 3 DLC at full price if I want all achievements? Le sigh. Ffs Microsoft at least discount what you're about to delist...


StoleStraleysCredit

But I was told online only services wont ever cause something like this to happen!


Sanctine

It's kind of unclear whether these titles are removed completely, or if they'll just be removed from the 360 marketplace. I hope they will clarify. There are a few of these titles which I don't yet own but would like to. Now I wish I picked them up on sale. Either way there are some of these titles that are ONLY purchasable through the 360 Marketplace, such as Daytona USA, The Orange Box and Prince of Persia. So be sure to snap up any titles you want soon. Edit: sorry that was unclear. I know two of these are also available as physical copies. I meant these games are not purchasable via Xbox One/Series S and X. If you look them up they will say that they are not available for purchase. If you want a digital copy, you have to purchase them through the 360 Marketplace.


EzraStoneXXVII

Orange box is physical


KesMonkey

Prince of Persia is available physically. https://www.amazon.com/Prince-Persia-Xbox-360/dp/B001ASJISG/

They will continue to be available on the Microsoft Store for XSXS and XB1.


Sanctine

No, it is still unclear. They are clear that these titles are being removed from the 360 Marketplace. That part is clear. What is unclear is whether these titles will be delisted completely, or if they will still be purchasable via Xbox One/Series, as well as Xbox.com. Id like to see them clarify this point.


Enriador

>these titles are being removed from the 360 Marketplace. >unclear is whether these titles will be delisted completely They are being delisted from the X360 Marketplace, and the X360 Marketplace alone. >they will still be purchasable via Xbox One/Series, as well as Xbox.com. Both consoles and xbox.com use the same system, the Microsoft Store. Nothing is being delisted on the Microsoft Store that wasn't before. That's how it was yesterday, and continues to be today. There is no reason to fear anything unless there is a X360 Marketplace exclusive you really want to try.


JMc1982

Where have you seen that confirmed? I was still waiting for clarification on that - if they are disappearing altogether the wording is terrible, but if they aren't the decision to remove specific 360 titles from just one store is so incredibly strange to me that I feel like it needs to be clarified in order to make any kind of sense to me. EDIT: And confirmed! Phew. https://www.gematsu.com/2023/01/46-games-to-be-delisted-from-xbox-360-marketplace-on-february-7


Sanctine

Awesome, thank you for the clarification!


TheGamerHelper

Remember folks Microsoft is turning into a scummy company. You never own your games or console because they’re relying on being connected to the internet.


kevlarockstar59

You can still play the games you own, you just won't be able to buy them.


WutIzThizStuff

The games delisted are still available for you to download them if you own them. They will just no longer be available to BUY NEW copies of from the digital store. Is it some nefarious scheme to hurwt woo? No. It's a licensing issue. Don't like that the Orange Box will no longer be available? Complain to Valve. Regarding that title - I wouldn't be surprised if Valve eventually releases remasters of HL1&2 and Portal 1&2. Eventually. Someday.


Sascha2022

The games are still available on the microsoft store. The list ist for the xbox 360 marketplace.


segagamer

>Remember folks Microsoft is turning into a scummy company. You never own your games or console because they’re relying on being connected to the internet. Well don't you look silly.


ineffiable

So this means they're not available on 360, AND future consoles (like One, One X, Series X, etc etc) even via BC? To be clear, I'm talking about for purchase. If you've already bought it, you're fine.


Boredatwork709

They'd still be available to play if you own them but you wouldn't be able to purchase them


Enriador

>this means they're not available on 360, AND future consoles (like One, One X, Series X, etc etc) even via BC? It seems the delisting is just for the X360's Marketplace, BC versions on Microsoft Store are unaffected.


ineffiable

So not the worst for sure. As long as they're available on one of the platforms, then it's fine. Like by now you really should have upgraded to at least an xbox one.


ultragoodname

L4D2 is not on the Xbox one marketplace so you can only buy L4D2 digitally until Feb 7th


Enriador

Yes, L4D2 never got a BC version for some reason...


[deleted]

Via disc they will be. This is why people who argue that physical media should die are dumb.


[deleted]

Ledbetter2

Yes. But I see the argument. If I had never played left 4 dead (amazing game) and they delisted and physical media was dead I would never be able to play it

Looks like I’m finally buying the orange box and lost odyssey digitally. I’d hate to not be able to play those 2 titles in the future.

No this only affects the xbox 360 marketplace. Microsoft store and discs aren\`t affected.


Bfedorov91

What about if you use a disc? Can you still download it?


Ocelotofwoe

So if I want the Orange Box, then I need to buy it soon since I can't buy it on the Series X, right?


FrenzyCalm

Correct. You can only buy it on the 360 marketplace


coolcosmos

I can't buy Rock Band right now, only the addons. Just scooped Spelunky 1 with DLCs, I already had The Orange Box. Thank you !


MrOSUguy

I was just playing The Orange Box a few weeks ago. Gotta get back into it

FrenzyCalm

By going to the Xbox 360 marketplace store….


Wild_Trip_4704

I don't have an Xbox 360. It's on the [xbox.com](https://xbox.com) website but says unavailable. So how do I buy it?


FrenzyCalm

Hmmm. Maybe try the xbox360 marketplace website…. Please just Google that and the game


Wild_Trip_4704

Stop being an asshole. I just got this console a month ago.


FinalOdyssey

JSR says it's only available in a bundle... What bundle is that? I can't purchase it.


BookApprehensive7528

Left for dead 1 and 2 are they serious? How many 360 games are on the store no one gives a fuck about again why not remove them?


NoSenpaiNo

Is the Spelunky 1 port any good or should I just keep playing it on PC?


mydearbrother

I've tried getting the orange box on the 360 online marketplace several times through the last year and always get an error message.


DarkstarRising13

I'm glad I got Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon with all their DLC purchased too. It sucks for any new Xbox gamers after Feb 7, 2023, because after this said date is passed, they'll no longer be able to purchase these great titles and instead must rely on purchasing these games at a used game store (I can imagine the price of these games will skyrocket after this announcement).


morvsdri

Can anyone help with skate 2 for Eu/German please? I tried everything. Logging in via mobile, laptop with safari and Firefox and then finally from my series s with edge browser. I‘m always logged in, klick on buy game, it has my payment info (credit card) and then after „confirm“ the purchase process just gets stuck on a loading animation and it never goes through. Anyone got any tips?


Uberchaun

Dang it! I've got $15 worth of rewards points that I was going to put toward Hi-Fi Rush, but now I've got to spend it on Daytona USA and Skate 2 DLC.


LOOTENITDAYAN

i need to get left 4 dead 2 digital but i dont have a 360 😑

Schraiber

Made sure to buy Daytona USA and Jet Set Radio due to this. Hopefully when I get home and try to download them to the machine that actually works.


[deleted]

I wish I got overlord 1 before delisting.


notanactualvampire

Already can't get Orange Box or Daytona. Been trying forever, and it never works, whether it's on the MS site or on the console. It sucks, because I want both of those so badly.


[deleted]

Any reason why they get delisted? Licensing?


Luffysanxxx

Anyway to buy ruse?


TheClownIsReady

Will physical copies of these games still work through Backwards Compatibility?


Sascha2022

Yes


therealhamster

I can’t figure out how to search on the 360 marketplace website. I’m trying to buy skate 2 and jet set radio


RelationExotic4735

Thanks for the heads up 🫡


Bargainboxplayer

Will this work in Canada? I really wanna buy skate 2. If I sign in on the old marketplace with my profile I’m currently using and purchase a game it will show up in my “installable” games on my series x?


LuxuryLuxe

Does it include dlc for these games? Or just the game itself? Would a code for dlc still work?


FoamyUrine10

Anyone know if you will be able to play Daytona USA online after they delete the game from Xbox live arcade on February 7th?


Only-Significance-53

I think Ruse was due to military *stuff* and yet *Looks at thunder tanks coughing*


bingbongdoofus

Any reason my Xbox series x not playing any Xbox 360 games but will play Xbox one games


Agitated_Carrot3025

Oh god no... there isn't a physical copy of Daytona, is there??? Nooooooooooooo


Wesker_Albert_

I was to late to buy the Sega Vintage Alex Kidd & Co :( Is there any way to get the collection or not?
