Microsoft has issued its final price update for all digital Xbox 360 games before the console’s marketplace goes offline for good on July 29. That means you can get a bunch of good old games for very cheap right now. And as a tribute to its most successful gaming box ever, Microsoft has even memorialized the Xbox 360 blade interface with a free new dynamic background for Xbox Series X/S.
While there are hundreds of games you can buy from the Xbox 360 store for the next couple of weeks, I’ve tried to narrow it down to a handful of standout favorites that are both really cheap and (mostly) never got a next-gen update or HD remaster. You can see the full list of discounted games here. Here are my recommended picks:
You can’t go wrong with any of these, really. Black is an excellent atmospheric, cinematic shooter from the folks behind the Burnout series and is also nice and short—a perfect attribute in the year 2024, when the game is only a buck. Strider is a 2014 reboot of the classic Capcom action platformer that looks great and mixes in more modern elements. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition is largely considered the best version of one of the best Street Fighter games ever.

Dishonored, meanwhile, didn’t gain much when it was ported in a game-of-the-year style complete edition to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (besides all of the DLC), so for that price it feels worth it. And ironically, Remember Me has probably been forgotten by most people. It’s a sci-fi adventure game about recalling the past, set in a futuristic surveillance state called Neo-Paris. Its decent story, great music, and novel mélange of clumsily implemented mechanics make it one of the more unique games of the period.
And all of these games can be yours for less than the price of one month of post-price-hike Game Pass.
