The Xbox 360 Marketplace will continue to be available and Microsoft has no plans to shut it down (for now).
After a few days of unknowns following Microsoft’s posting of a message on its website announcing the closure of the Xbox 360 bazaar in May 2023, today we finally got to see some light.

It is true that Microsoft will retire up to 50 Xbox 360 games starting February 7 in the digital store, but this will not mean the final farewell of the Xbox 360 bazaar, it will mean the possibility of digitally acquiring games as TOP as Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey among others.

Microsoft probably intentionally posted the message hoping to see the reaction of the players to finally make a firm decision or back down, the latter being the option chosen by the company.
