Last night, it seemed one of gaming's great nostalgia pieces would be shutting down, as it appeared Xbox had confirmed the closure of its Xbox 360 marketplace. However, in a new statement, it appears that this message was an error.

A Microsoft spokesperson has since claimed that the company can confirm the Xbox 360 marketplace will not close in May 2023. But, it does remind us that a limited set of games and DLC will no longer be available from the 7th of February.

With the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops closing this year, too, to have another classic marketplace close down would have been another big blow. Luckily, we won't be losing the Xbox 360 marketplace just yet.
