“Would Love to Find Solutions for Those Games to Continue” – Xbox Boss Reveals a Ray of Hope for Classic 360 Titles Post Digital Store’s Closure

Following the victory of Xbox against the FTC, fans are watching every move made by the Microsoft subsidiary with keen interest. Furthermore, every title announced by the console makers is receiving widespread love from the fans. Amidst all this, however, the console makers have decided to make some overhauls.

They recently announced the closing of the store for one of their most iconic systems, the Xbox 360. This news deeply crushed the fans of this console. However, the Xbox chief has come forward as a ray of sunshine for the fans, providing them with some good news.

Xbox CEO shares some promising news for the fans

In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Phil Spencer shared his views on the closure of the Xbox 360 store. With the closure of the store, multiple games made exclusively for that console will also come to a halt. However, Spencer believes preserving those titles is an important task for his team.

Stating his game plan for preservation he said, “One of the things we do is ship all of our games on PC because I actually think PC is the best ecosystem for game preservation because it’s not tied to one piece of hardware”. Spencer believes the more platform-independent the title is, the more its chances of survival.

However, Spencer believed the closure of the store was a necessity of the times. According to him, the lifespan of Xbox 360 hardware is at its end as only a handful of players are actively playing. Furthermore, the community is dwindling day by day, leading them to decide the closure of the store.

How is Phil Spencer going to preserve the titles?

Phil Spencer continued his game plan for preservation, stating, “There’s a list of 220 games that are not backward compatible, and I have that list and I’ve got it stapled on my forehead.”

His team is actively looking for ways to preserve these games but has not found a sustainable solution yet. However, Spencer has pledged the moment they find a more suitable solution, they will take it in a heartbeat.

“And just know that the list of the 220 games is something that we see, and we would love to find solutions for those games to continue to play,” he promised.

Looking at the Xbox CEO proactively working on preserving older titles is a commendable effort from his end. Whether or not he will be successful in preserving those 220 titles will be revealed in the future.
