Xbox sale round-up August 20th, 2024

How do the 360 backwards compatible games work now? Are they only available for the Xbox One and newer, or when we see these sales, can these games still be purchased and played on the 360?

WanderingPlotor said:The 360 store is closed, so they will need to be purchased on a newer console. They will show up in your download list on the 360 though, so you can still DL and play on there.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare for me.

WanderingPlotor said:I've seen some people say if you buy on One or newer, they'll show up on your Redownload List on 360, but I've not tested this myself yet.

Awww, Pinball FX. I was trying to escape from Pinball addiction recently, lol.

laprasking1985 said:I confirm that. I just did that with Alan Wake's American Nightmare. I bought it on my One, then I was able to downloading it on my 360 through the download history.

That's a pretty low price for BBQ Simulator. That game looks like good ol' fashioned stupid fun.

Some Nightdive games at the lowest prices... Not bad👍

Ixtab Lullaby said:Thanks. I don't yet have a One or Series X. (Waiting to see about the rumoured hardware Series X updates this winter). Does it work to purchase backwards compatible games on the web-based Xbox store, and then download to 360, or does it have to be on the One (and newer) consoles itself?

Still such a shame about the Trine unobtainables :/

Soundfall looks neat

$80 for House Flipper DLC, after a 30% discount is criminal. Finished the base game over the weekend, but there's no way I'm paying that kind of money.

Oh dear this will be an expensive week for me, alot of my wishlist on sale.!

Must try to resist..........

When did Microsoft start requiring a phone number on your account to redeem Rewards points? I'm so tired of companies tracking me six ways from Sunday.

Any good turn based games in here?

Two Point Campus is tempting for a fiver.

WanderingPlotor said:You can buy where you want. The purchase is saved in your account. You are accessing the same store. No matter if you are using a windows app, a web browser, a phone app or one of the may xbox one / series consoles.

Nice sale this week, been waiting for Gloomhaven to hit a good price
