Meanwhile, Microsoft recently confirmed that an announcement claiming that the XBox 360 marketplace is to close was made in “error”.
The tech company had initially released a message telling users that they had until May this year to make their purchases and reportedly later confirmed the news themselves.
The message read: “We will be closing the Xbox 360 Marketplace over the next year so we encourage you to purchase any 360 games or DLC by May 2023.”
However, Microsoft later confirmed that the message was made in error.
