The Xbox Marketplace is closing on the Xbox 360, which means that thousands of themes, images, and demos will soon be removed from the platform. Microsoft has already revealed that more Xbox 360 games will be eligible for a last-minute discount, one week before the store closes. Many of the games and titles that are exclusively available digitally will not be accessible after the Marketplace is down, even though some of them will still be available for other platforms.

There are many things that have called the Xbox 360 and its Marketplace home. It launched Xbox Live Indie Games and, according to many fans, improved Xbox Live Arcade. Through the Xbox Series S, they contributed to the development of the framework and the advancement of the digital and online revolution, which continues to have a market in the Microsoft community. As digital-only content grew ingrained in Microsoft's culture, a number of Xbox 360 exclusives, including avatars, gamer photos, themes, and other customization options, became mainstream. Regretfully, these beautiful cosmetics will soon be removed from sale due to the impending shutdown of the Xbox 360.

Ava products, gamer photos, and themes are among the non-gaming downloads that many fans have begun to recommend. Supersmashworld, a YouTuber, posted a video featuring a number of free Xbox 360 themes and gaming images that are worthwhile obtaining prior to the Xbox Marketplace closing. Before the store closed, another enthusiast, Reddit user tutanmac, offered premium Xbox 360 themes that were worth purchasing, such as the 360-exclusive Citta Theme. For nostalgic reasons, some fans might like perusing the Xbox 360 Marketplace discoveries since they miss the previous Xbox 360 Blades and backdrops.

There are further reasons for Xbox 360 owners to check out the soon-to-close Xbox 360 Marketplace, as the pricing of actual Xbox 360 games are reportedly far higher than usual. Not to mention that after July 29th, the digital-only downloads will no longer be available for purchase. Although many of the free non-game elements are reported to be unimpressive, nostalgic collectors may be persuaded to buy them due to their extremely low costs when purchased online.

If not, gamers will have to wait for callbacks on the newest generation of Xbox systems. This happened when Xbox unveiled a brand-new dynamic background that was inspired by the Xbox 360. Although it is a thoughtful gesture, particularly in honour of the legacy console's impact on the game industry, some people say they still yearn for the interface of the original Xbox 360. Fans miss the recognizable Xbox 360 Blades and the style that the system offered.
