KOMPAS.com – Microsoft’s gaming division, Xbox will close its online store for Xbox 360 console games, namely the Xbox 360 Store in July 2024.

This announcement was made by CVP Xbox Player Services, Dave McCarthy in an upload on the official Xbox blog.

According to Dave, this closure was motivated by the age of the old Xbox 360 console and Microsoft’s shift in strategy to focus on the latest technology.

“A lot has changed since the launch of the Xbox 360 in November 2005 or about 18 years ago. Today, technology has changed and our strategy is now focused on making the latest generation console Xbox Series X/S the best entertainment device for the future,” wrote Dave.
