A number of classic Xbox 360 titles are currently available at steep discounts on the Xbox Store, offering a budget-friendly opportunity for owners of Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S consoles to expand their digital libraries.
These backward-compatible games, many of which are considered AAA gems, can be purchased for significantly less than the price of a new release. The sale includes titles spanning various genres. Among the heavily discounted games are "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings" for $3 (85 percent off), "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" for $2.50 (85 percent off), and "Dragon Age: Origins" for $3.75 (75 percent off).
RPG enthusiasts can also find "Lost Odyssey" for $6.25 (75 percent off) and "Mass Effect" for $5 (75 percent off). Fighting game fans can pick up "Street Fighter IV" for $4 (80 percent off), while survival horror is represented by "Resident Evil Code: Veronica X" for $3 (85 percent off).
Fans of the Xbox Summer of Arcade initiative can also grab several indie classics. "Shadow Complex" is available for $5 (70 percent off), "Super Meat Boy" for $5 (70 percent off), and "Limbo" for $1.87 (85 percent off). Other notable indie deals include "Castle Crashers Remastered" for $7.50 (50 percent off), "Braid" for $3.29 (67 percent off), "‘Splosion Man" for $3.29 (67 percent off), and "Trials HD" for $3.29 (67 percent off).
For "Street Fighter IV" players, an upgrade to the "Ultra Street Fighter IV" version is available for an additional $3. While "Resident Evil Code: Veronica X" is a remaster of an earlier title, it provides the definitive way to experience that part of the series. The Xbox 360 version of "Mass Effect" is noted as potentially buggy, but still offers a compelling experience of the first game in the trilogy. Alternatively, the "Mass Effect Legendary Edition," which includes all three games, is also discounted and available for $6.
Notably, "Bastion," the acclaimed action-RPG from Supergiant Games, is not part of the current sale and remains priced at $15. However, the game is celebrated for its quality and is still considered a worthwhile purchase, especially given its 15th anniversary.
