PSA: The Xbox 360 Marketplace Permanently Closes Down Today

BBG News

As a long-time Xbox gamer with memories stretching back nearly two decades, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia as I write this. Today marks the end of an era, the final hours of the Xbox 360 Marketplace. It’s hard to believe that it was first launched almost 19 years ago, and since then, it has been a constant companion in my gaming life.

According to the announcement made last August, the Xbox 360 Marketplace is set to close forever starting today. This means it’s your final opportunity to purchase any digital games that you’ve been considering before they disappear from the marketplace for good.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you all. You see, the final Xbox 360 Store sale is here, and if luck is on your side, you might stumble upon some amazing titles. This sale features not only the recent releases of Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher games in their entirety but also a generous selection of over two dozen others, all discounted up to an incredible 90% off! Keep in mind that once these deals are gone, they’ll be gone for good – unless, of course, they’re backwards compatible or available physically. So, seize this golden opportunity and stock up on some fantastic gaming experiences before they vanish into the digital abyss. Happy gaming, my friends!

To mark the 19-year anniversary of the Xbox 360 Marketplace’s opening, Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb, a former Xbox Sr. Communications Director, bid farewell in a heartfelt message. He expressed his joy over having announced countless marketplace sales and updates throughout the years.

“Thank for having fun, playing fair and filing feedback”.

And it’s a fond farewell from us to the Xbox 360 Marketplace. Thanks for the memories.

After nearly 19 years of being a part of my Xbox 360 journey, it’s bittersweet to acknowledge that the Xbox Marketplace will be closing soon. I’ve cherished every opportunity to contribute to its vast array of sales and updates throughout the years.

I want to express my gratitude for the countless hours of enjoyment and fair gameplay we’ve shared. Here’s to reminiscing on the memories and looking forward to new adventures as we approach this final chapter together.
