Xbox 360 Marketplace Closed July 2024 — DLC Only via Redownload, On-Disc Codes, or Backward Compatible Purchases on Modern Xbox
The Xbox 360 Marketplace closed July 29, 2024. You can no longer purchase DLC directly on the console or via the web store for 360 titles.
What Still Works
Previously Purchased DLC: Redownload via Settings → Account → Download History on the 360.
On-Disc Codes: Some retail copies (GOTY/Complete Editions) include DLC codes—redeem on Microsoft Redeem.
Backward Compatible Titles on Xbox One/Series: If the 360 game is BC, buy the DLC on the modern Xbox Store (often bundled in Complete Editions). It unlocks on 360 too.
What Doesn't Work
Buying 360 DLC on Xbox.com / 360 dashboard / SmartGlass
Third-party "code resellers" — high scam risk, often revoked
Best Path Today
Check if the game is Backward Compatible on your Xbox One/Series.
Buy the Complete/GOTY Edition on the modern store (often on sale).
Launch on 360 — DLC will be recognized.
Physical Complete Editions (disc) are the only guaranteed native-360 route left.
