I'm making a rare PSA in the main forum because there have been many deals in the past and currently posted regarding Xbox Game Pass and Live Gold. As you might know, 'Games with Gold' usually had one Xbox 360 title each month that was yours to keep forever regardless of subscription status in the future. While this will not affect titles already owned, starting October 1st, 'Games with Gold' will no longer include any free Xbox 360 titles going forward. (Again, this will not remove any titles you already have. I'm sure Xbox 360 titles will still be for sale.)

Quote from Xbox :
Beginning October1, 2022, the monthly games provided to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox LiveGold members via Games with Gold will no longer include Xbox 360 titles.

We have reached the limit of our ability to bring Xbox 360 games to thecatalog; however, Games with Gold will continue to include exciting Xbox Onetitles and exclusive savings each month.

This will not impact any Xbox 360 games that you downloaded before October2022. Any Xbox 360 titles that you redeem via Games with Gold before that timeare yours to keep on your Xbox account, regardless of whether you continue yoursubscription.

Thank you for being a loyal member.

That has nothing to do with anything. This is just saying they won't be included in Games with Gold anymore. It doesn't have anything to do with games purchased (physical or digital).

This is another reason why xbox is inferior to the ps5

It turns out Playstation doesn't offer 360 games either.

So any 360 games we got through xbox live gold need to be downloaded to the Xbox 360 console before 10/1. Once past 10/1, those are not downloadable anymore, did I read that right?

I don't think you need to actually download them to the console.

It says: "This will not impact any Xbox 360 games that you downloaded before October2022. Any Xbox 360 titles that you redeem via Games with Gold before that timeare yours to keep on your Xbox account".
Doesn't that first sentence sound like it needs to be downloaded?
