Xbox 360 Servers Shutting Down in November? “Not True” Says Spencer

4.6
Apparently, talk has been going around about Microsoft shutting down servers for the Xbox 360 in November, thus ending multiplayer support for a number of titles. It’s an odd decision, especially considering the number of previous gen titles that still require Xbox Live Gold for multiplayer support, but not necessarily the strangest. After all, the original Xbox’s services were shut down in April 2010, nearly 10 years after that console launched.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like this will be the case. According to Xbox boss Phil Spencer when asked on Twitter about the same, “Not true.” Which is as succinct an answer as it gets.

Despite a decade already passing since the Xbox 360 has released, Microsoft continues to report on sales and profits from the same. Recently, Microsoft introduced Xbox 360 backwards compatibility for the Xbox One and updates fans on the newest games to make the jump. So it’s a given that the Xbox 360 isn’t going away any time soon. What are your thoughts? Let us know below.

AR15 It wouldn't be a big deal even if they did. They should be focusing on the new console and all its issues anyways.


You do realise there are still million who play the 360, shutting down the servers won't force people to the Xbox one, it will make most people that annoyed they will get a PS


I disagree. There aren't any people playing the Xbox 360 in comparison to PC and the next gen consoles. If they moved to PS, it is the same thing. Soon they will stop supporting their old gen as well. Time to move on.

JaY Shutting the servers down would be a big blow for them. 360 is still very active so it wouldn't make sense.


yeah dude honestly there are so many users active on the 360! it wouldnt even make sense if they did it

They would lose alot of customers for this if it were true becasue then Xbox one owners would have to suffer the same fate in the future.
