As the Xbox 360 marketplace enters its final day, one former exec pays tribute to the beloved store: "All good things must come to an end"

A former Xbox exec has paid tribute to the Xbox 360 marketplace on its final day, saying that "all good things must come to an end."

Today, July 29, will mark the end of the Xbox 360 store after almost 19 years of service. Later today, you'll no longer be able to make fresh purchases directly on your 360 or the Marketplace website, meaning any nostalgic players hoping to add to their classic console's library are almost out of luck. While it'll still be possible to redownload games you've already bought, play online on the console (as long as the individual games' servers are still supported), and download backwards-compatible 360 games on an Xbox One or Series X|S, it's still very much the end of an era, as Xbox veteran Larry Hryb acknowledges.
