Xbox has a whole host of servers that are going offline this February. Sadly this will likely mark the end of several games’ online services unless the communities attempt to keep them alive. Which is not always possible but has happened in some cases.
As shared to Reddit by Turbostrider27. The folks over on TrueAchievements have counted Nine Xbox servers going offline this February. For the remainder of the time these games have left, players can still rack up any incomplete achievements and play a few more rounds of Golf.

Sadly many of these games never received a physical copy so when they’re delisted there won’t be any way to acquire them. In fact, some of those games have already been delisted.
This is part of the argument for purchasing physical copies of games or making efforts to back up game data so that the games themselves are preserved. It’s one of the key motivators behind emulation and game preservation. Why should players lose the right to play a game they have bought and paid for? This may be painfully obvious to consumers but it is not so with publishers.
Hopefully, the relevant communities manage to preserve these games so that they can at the very least be enjoyed locally for years to come. If you’re curious about emulation and game preservation Anbernic just released a new handheld emulator that’s taken the community by storm. If you’d like to find out more click here.
