I can't imagine the PS3 will last much longer than this. Truly the end of an era. :(

Important to note, this doesn’t affect online multiplayer or availability on newer consoles, eg you’ll continue to be able to buy, download and play 360 titles on Xbox One / Xbox Series.

Come August 2024 I will try to get my old 360 up and running and see if it has Uno.

Not really though since Xbox has backwards compatibility and a new store for vast amounts of these games. While some have or will be lost thanks to licensing, Xenia is always making progress and is available on newer Xboxes via $20 dev access.

When the PS3 goes, emulation on PC or streaming is the only option

Will this include backwards compatible titles o current systems I wonder?

[–] muddybulldog@mylemmy.win 2 points 1 year ago

BC titles remain available through the current store.
