This means you will no longer be able to purchase games or DLC on the console, and the Microsoft Movies & TV app will stop working altogether.

It is stated in the article that any content you purchased before the deadline will be still playable. So digital games for the Xbox 360 should continue to work and be accessible. You can also redownload the game. Online multiplayer will still work, but it’s more game by game. Many Halo servers have already shut down.

In today’s post, Xbox provided a link to its complete list of backwards-compatible games. This is the latest batch of games from November 20, 21:
