What you need to know The digital Xbox 360 store is shutting down on July 29, 2024. This shutdown means that a number of non-backward compatible games will no longer be available for purchase.

With the store shutting down on July 29, 2024, a plethora of games are stuck on the old hardware with no way to play them on modern consoles. This is true for a lot of Japanese games on the Xbox 360.

And some of these PS3 and Xbox 360 games are the best of that console generation, which began in 2005 and ran until 2013 when the pair of consoles were replaced with the PS4 and Xbox One ...

That said, while the game is a PS3 and Xbox 360-era game, it is obviously not been made free on these platforms, but rather is free via PC, and more specifically, via GOG.

Games that are exclusive to one console, for example, might be more in need of a refresh. This is what makes tackling PS3 and Xbox 360 era titles such an exciting prospect.
