Many Xbox 360 games will be delisted from its store in February

Though could remain on Xbox One or Xbox Series, depending on the game.

A huge number of Xbox 360 games will be delisted from the Xbox 360 storefront in February, Microsoft has confirmed.

While some of the titles — specifically, those that are backwards compatible — will remain accessible on Xbox One and Xbox Series S & X storefronts, those that can’t be played on newer consoles will become unavailable altogether.

One of my favourite games of all time, Jet Set Radio, is a good example of a game that will soon become unavailable — it’s not backwards compatible, so if you want it, you’ll need to buy it on Xbox 360 now and have an Xbox 360 console to keep playing it in future. Got it?

We’ll list all the titles that Australia loses below, though you can head to this page to get the list specific to your own region if needed.

If you’re in doubt over backwards compatibilty of a certain title, our advice is to search for it on your Xbox One or Xbox Series console; if you can buy it, do it. If you can’t, it’s because it’s not going to be able to be played.
