Don't worry, your downloaded games are safe ... for now?
Microsoft revealed Thursday it will shutter its Xbox 360 Store next summer, nearly two decades after the console hit the market. That will leave the IT giant catering for its current-gen Xbox Series X and S consoles.
This means Microsoft isn't shutting down its servers just yet. But while players won't lose access to their games on the console, the same can't be said of media purchased through the Xbox's Movies and TV app. After the July deadline, that application will cease to function, and all such content purchased through the app will remain available only on supported consoles and PC.
