Microsoft will close the Xbox 360 Store and Marketplace on July 29, 2024, while ensuring users can continue playing previously purchased games. The closure affects new content purchases but maintains access to existing games. Online services and game updates will remain available even after the store shutdown, distinguishing Xbox 360 from Nintendo Wii U and 3DS eShops.
