The firstCall of Dutygame, the one that kicked off the whole series, was released all the way back in 2003. The game is currently on sale before the Xbox 360 store closes down on the 29th of July next month.
you’re able to only play it on the 360, and it’s not backward compatible with Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S. If you want to relive those moments, now’s the time.
Xbox Store Shutting Down marks the end of an era
Microsoft announced that the Xbox 360Store and marketplace will shut downon August 07, 2025. After this date, you won’t be able to purchase any new games or DLCs for the 360. If you already own the games, you can still download them, but buying new ones will be impossible.
For fans of the original game, this is pretty sad news. The first game in the series is something special, and players might miss out on it forever as the physical copies of the game are extremely rare and quite expensive too.

This also affects other classic games, especially from the original Xbox era that haven’t been remastered to the following console generations. After the store closes down, hunting down physical copies of the games in order to play them becomes extremely difficult due to limited availability and high pricing.
Microsoft’s focus has naturally shifted towards its newer consoles. Maintaining an online store for a decade-old platform becomes less sustainable over time, and doesn’t make a lot of sense for them.Keeping the Xbox 360 Marketplace operational requires ongoing maintenance and security updates. As technology evolves, these efforts can become increasingly resource-intensive for Microsoft.
Looking Ahead to Call of Duty Black Ops 6
The originalCall of Dutythrew players into the heart of historical battles, from the storming of Normandy to the brutal defense of Stalingrad. The graphics might seem dated compared to the upcomingBlack Opsgame, but the core gameplay holds up remarkably well. The satisfying sounds of gunfire and the intensity of each firefight still remain.
