As we have already informed you several times, Microsoft plans to permanently close the Xbox 360 Marketplace in July 2024and in the face of this imminent closure, has seen fit to carry out several offers important in many of their video games in digital format that They are not backward compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, being a golden opportunity to get hold of them at prices that are sometimes at historic lows. But there is an interesting development: the company has, without prior notice, discounted several games published by Activision among which are some such as Prototype (2009) or Singularity (2010).
Microsoft downgrades several non-backwards compatible Activision Xbox 360 games on One and Series by surprise
Those responsible for Xbox 360 have reduced without prior notice a total of seven games published by Activision. The striking thing about the matter is that those from Redmond have not released any statement in this regard nor have they updated on their website the list of all the video games that have a permanent discount due to the upcoming closure of their 360 digital store.
We emphasize that the selection of discounted titles is small, since there are only seven in total. Even so, we leave you with the list just below, arranged in alphabetical order and with their respective prices in euros right next to it:
From this small batch of discounted games, the most striking are probably the two Prototype, Singularity and Gun. They all are action titles that had a more than decent reception at the timeand although some of them are still easily accessible via second-hand copies or on PC in their Steam versionsit is worth considering if we want to safeguard the Xbox 360 versions of these titles taking into account that in just a month they will no longer be available forever.
As we mentioned, these new seven titles on offer They are added to the 140 games that are already permanently discounted Facing the Closing of the Xbox 360 Bazaar on July 29, 2024.
At the time this news is published, To these 147 titles in permanent offer will be added a third round of discounted games which will be made public on July 16. When this last group of games on sale is available, we will bring together all the information about the discounted games in a single news item so that it is better organized.
Nevertheless, taking into account these surprise sales Activision themes perhaps we could expect more of a similar nature from different developers and distributors that a priori were not programmed by Microsoft. At Meristation we will be attentive to any significant movement in the Xbox 360 Bazaar before its closure to keep you informed so that you can make an informed decision about whether it is worth purchasing any of the games that are at a reduced price.
