Summary
Capcom has given its fans an opportunity to grab a number of its past titles, including severalResident EvilandDevil May Cryentries, at heavily discounted prices onXbox 360. Last year, Xbox sadly announced that it’ll beshuttering its 360 Marketplace in July 2024, warning gamers that all digital titles in the Xbox 360 store will become permanently unavailable after July 29.
Thankfully, Xbox isn’t letting the 360 store go out without a bang, as it’s promised a wealth of major discounts to hit the marketplace as July 29 approaches. Two waves of discounts have already hitXbox 360’s digital storefront, which has seen titles likeTomb Raider,Watch Dogs,Far Cry 4, andThiefbecome available for just a few dollars. Xbox is planning a third and final update in July, which will see another large batch of 360 games be sliced to mere pennies on the dollar.
With just over a month to go until the Xbox 360 Marketplace shuts down, Capcom chimed in with its contribution to Xbox 360’s big blowout sale. Capcom highlighted a list of some of its biggest games from the 360 era, all going on sale for no more than $1.99. A number of entries fromCapcom franchises likeDead Rising,Resident Evil, andDevil May Crypopulate the list. Even titles likeBionic Commando(2009) and Don’s Nod’sRemember Mehave joined the mix.
Discounted Capcom Games On Xbox 360 List
While the pricing of these older Capcom games is certainly satisfactory, many fans expressed their disappointment at the low number ofStreet Fightergames included in the list.Street Fighter X Tekken,Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, andStreet Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online Editionare the only titles from Capcom’s juggernaut fighting franchise to be included, leaving fans wondering aboutStreet Fighter 4.Additionally,Dragon’s Dogma, which has become more popular than ever thanks tothe release ofDragon’s Dogma 2this year, is also missing. Despite an already long list of discounts, it’s entirely possible that Capcom could be planning to add even more of its games as part of Xbox’s third and final wave of discounted 360 titles coming next month.
While many major Xbox 360 games have been discounted as part of the Xbox 360 store’s final months, there are certainly still a lot of big, important Xbox games missing from the sale. Not a singleHalo,Forza,orGears of Wartitle appears on thecurrent list of discounted Xbox 360 games. It’s likely that some titles from these tentpole Xbox franchises will show up in the Xbox 360 sale next month as the store’s July 29 closure approaches.
