Those mysterious Xbox 360 discounts are actually permanent price reductions, and more are incoming!

Good news on those surprise Xbox 360 sales we reported on yesterday, they aren’t a glitch. The Xbox Wire news feed was updated on Tuesday with a post formally announcing the discounts that eagle-eyed readers had spotted days earlier. And best of all, these discounted prices aren’t temporary: Microsoft has been working with publishers to bring permanent (and deep) price reductions to the Xbox 360 Marketplace leading up to its closure on July 29th.

To celebrate the legacy of Xbox 360, we’re working with our amazing publishing partners to bring you as many price reductions from our online store or from the Xbox 360 Store on the console. We’ll be updating this list with more games on June 18, 2024, and on July 16, 2024, bringing you as many repriced games as possible before the end of July. These price reductions will remain in place for each game through the 360 store closing on July 29, 2024. 

Xbox Wire Announcement – May 14, 2024

I’ve copied over the current list of titles from the post with links directly to each game’s Marketplace page but you may still have an easier time digging out an actual Xbox 360 console to hunt down these deals.  As has been well established over the last year or more, it’s getting harder to actually buy things from the Xbox 360 Marketplace website with timeouts, errors, and incomplete sales being frequently reported. And that was before the news of these discounts broke which has probably sent some of their servers spiking.

Despite the struggles involved, it’s great news to see; a platform holder putting forth any effort to discount its library before it all becomes inaccessible. We’ll be back to update on June 18th and July 16th and have added those dates to the Watch List calendar as well.
