XBOX recently made a huge announcement that will affect millions of its players around the world.
From July of next year, people will no longer be able to purchase hundreds of games.

Xbox revealed to players that the Xbox 360 store will be closing down, and its exclusive games will disappear with it.
Over 200 digital-only Xbox 360 games have been identified that will no longer be purchasable after the shutdown.
However, many of them will still be available via backwards compatibility for Xbox One, or Xbox Series X|S.
Despite this, some of the games will disappear from Xbox for good, including some highly-rated games.
Some of these are available on other platforms or legacy consoles, but they can also be hard to grab on the second-hand market.
Space Channel 5: Part 2 never received a physical version in the West, and so fans had to purchase the game digitally.
After July, it’ll still be available to purchase on Steam, where it is rated 9/10, and is a great catch for anyone into rhythm games.
Popular indie platformer Dustforce will no longer be available on Xbox, and some older games from popular series are disappearing too.
