Xbox Games Store (formerly Xbox Live Marketplace) is a digital distribution platform currently used by Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game console and formerly by the Xbox One. The service allows users to download or purchase video games (including both Xbox Live Arcade games and full Xbox 360 titles), add-ons for existing games, game demos along with other miscellaneous content such as gamer pictures and Dashboard themes.
Initially used by the Xbox One during its launch in 2013, after five years the Xbox Games Store was replaced by Microsoft Store, as the standard digital storefront for all Windows 10 devices.[1] The subsequent Xbox Series X/S consoles also use Microsoft Store.
The service also previously offered sections for downloading video content, such as films and television episodes; as of late 2012, this functionality was superseded by Xbox Music and Xbox Video (now known as Groove Music and Microsoft Movies & TV respectively).
In August 2023, Microsoft announced that the Xbox 360 Store will be shutting down on July 29, 2024; however, backwards-compatible Xbox 360 titles will remain available for purchase on the Microsoft Store for Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S after the Xbox 360 Store's sunset date.[2]
