Goodbye XBOX 360 🫡

To move forward, you have to let go of some things, and Microsoft is doing just that with the Xbox 360 Marketplace. July 29 is a sad day for gaming, as the digital storefront that has served millions of gamers for nearly two decades officially closes its doors.

The Xbox 360 Marketplace has given way to many great games, including Destiny and all its DLCs, Meteos Wars, and over 1,000 other titles, but as the industry evolves, Microsoft has decided to end support for the store, definitively marking the end of an era for all retro console fans.

The closure of the Xbox 360 Marketplace is not surprising news. Microsoft announced the closure a year ago, giving retro console enthusiasts plenty of time to prepare for this sad moment in gaming history.
