The official Xbox support page shows that the Xbox 360 store will close, but Microsoft told The Verge that the store will not close.
Earlier this week, Microsoft said it would take down many games from the 360 store on Feb. 7, leaving many gamers very depressed. Then Wario64 posted a tweet with a screenshot showing the official Xbox support page saying the company plans to shut down the Xbox 360 Marketplace “next year” and encouraging gamers to “buy 360 games or DLC by May 2023. “. As of the time of this post, this information can still be seen on that page.
According to Xbox Global Product Marketing Manager Bree Adams, this is an error message: “This message was posted in error, and we can confirm that the Xbox 360 Marketplace will not be closed in May 2023.”
The Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops will close on March 27.
