The Xbox Store is running a sale on a stack of Xbox 360 classics until July 30, and some of these prices are absurdly low — we're talking $1.87 for Limbo and $2.50 for Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Thanks to Xbox backwards compatibility, every one of these runs on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S without any extra setup.
The AAA side of the sale includes The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings for $3 (85% off), Dragon Age: Origins for $3.75 (75% off), Lost Odyssey for $6.25 (75% off), Resident Evil Code: Veronica X for $3 (85% off), Street Fighter IV for $4 (80% off), Blue Dragon for $5 (75% off), and Mass Effect for $5 (75% off). The Summer of Arcade indie lineup is equally stacked: Shadow Complex and Super Meat Boy are both $5 (70% off), Castle Crashers Remastered is $7.50 (50% off), and Braid, 'Splosion Man, and Trials HD each sit at $3.29 (67% off). A few caveats worth knowing: the Ultra Street Fighter IV upgrade is only $3 more and is the better version; the Xbox 360 build of Mass Effect has some bugs, but Mass Effect Legendary Edition — all three games — is also discounted right now at just $6; and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X is worth grabbing ahead of next year's full remake.
The Xbox 360 era is widely remembered as a golden age for third-party multiplatform games, and many of these titles — particularly Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and the Summer of Arcade lineup — have never been remastered or re-released on modern storefronts outside of Xbox backwards compatibility. That makes this sale one of the more practical ways to actually play them in 2025.
Notably absent from the sale is Bastion — Supergiant's isometric action-RPG and arguably the crown jewel of the Summer of Arcade program — which remains at its standard $15 price. Today also happens to be Bastion's 15th anniversary, so if you've never played it, that's your cue.
