Xbox 360 Marketplace Purge Sees Dark Souls, The Witcher 2, and More Removed Next Week

Microsoft has announced that 46 games will be removed from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on February 7, including Dark Souls, The Witcher 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and more.

As reported by Game Informer, Xbox shared the list of disappearing games on its official support website, though it varies slightly between regions.

Disc versions of these games will remain playable, and previously downloaded copies can also still be played. Gematsu also confirmed that the versions of these games available to download on Xbox One or Xbox Series consoles will also remain on those respective stores.

The Xbox 360 games being removed varies from region to region, but the list affecting customers in the United States is as follows:

Microsoft has made dozens of Xbox 360 games available on its later consoles, though confirmed that no more titles will be made backwards compatible going forward. Those still holding onto an Xbox 360, however, should use the next few days to make sure they’ve purchased any games from this list, as it will be the last chance to do so digitally.
