Xbox is removing 17 backwards compatible titles from its digital storefront; is this the beginning of the end for backwards compatibility support?
A total of 46 games are leaving the Xbox 360 Marketplace next week, which may not seem like something to be getting worked up about at first glance. But while most of them will be sticking around on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X |S storefronts, there are 17 backwards compatible titles in the mix that won't be available digitally at all after Tuesday, February 7.
The Xbox 360 Marketplace update was shared on the Microsoft support page, without much fanfare. Some of the games we're saying goodbye to include Sega classics Jet Set Radio, and Daytona USA, as well as Valve greats Left 4 Dead, and The Orange Box. The library of backwards compatible games hasn't grown since the last batch was added back in November 2021.
