All the Xbox users have recently received terrible news, shocking them that the Xbox 360 is finally dead now. However, Microsoft previously predicted it, but finally, it came under development on July 29, when users tried to access it, they got an error message through the Xbox Live store: “This item is no longer available to purchase in this store. Content may still be available in the Microsoft Store on newer consoles, PCs, or online at Xbox.com.”

The Xbox 360 was greater than an ordinary store selling high-end titles. However, a few quality games are still available to purchase from different stores. Whereas, almost 90% of games have adequately gone away including the most popular multiple small Arcade Kinect titles, and more.

However, players are still capable of accessing any of the games which they installed before the store entrance in digital Elysium.

Additionally, it would be incorrect to remember the Microsoft store Xbox 360 merely as a digital retailer, because Xbox Live Arcade and Steam on PC were a medium behind the rise of indie developers that accomplished their target of meeting an extensive range of audiences.

There were a plethora of classic games including Limbo, Super Meat Boy, Fez, Bastion, Mark of the Ninja, Rock of Ages, and more, back in 2005-2010 when the Xbox 360 game store was released, that adequately revolutionised the gaming era by introducing entertaining games.

Xbox Game Pass has become a major force in the entire gaming industry, and Microsoft, the American tech giant vaunted approx 34 million subscribers in the first quarter of the year, surpassing other few big names. 

However, in the end, the Xbox 360 shopfront successfully established the way for publishers that are unlikely to manipulate distribution.
