The Xbox 360 Store shuts down today.

Starting today, you’ll no longer be able to purchase games, DLC, and other items from the Xbox 360 Store or the Xbox 360 Marketplace — both of which launched almost 19 years ago.

The shutdown doesn’t affect online multiplayer on the Xbox 360, and you’ll still be able to purchase backward-compatible games and DLC from newer Xbox consoles.
