Cast your mind back to the start of August, and you might remember that Microsoft surprisingly relisted a whole bunch of Xbox 360 games onto the Xbox Store for a short period.
We didn't quite know at the time whether it was an intentional move or not, but they were soon removed, and it now appears to have been a side-effect of some changes to the Microsoft Store.
If you happened to buy any of those games, we suggest checking your emails. Microsoft seems to be refunding anyone who took advantage, as you can see from one of the examples below:
Unfortunately, this doesn't mean you still get to keep the game - the reports we've seen so far suggest that access to these titles has been removed as well, so you might just have to hunt down some physical copies!
Did you buy any of these games? Have you received a refund? Let us know in the comments.

What a goofy error on Microsoft’s part.
Hmmm 🤔 That reminds me about the other error they did in listing those games for free in around the Same time...
(Tie Fighter, Costume Quest and Stacked etc along with some others...)
Could they take those back off of anyone who downloaded them? 🤔
This is exactly what I suggested that would happen. I mean, if they don't have the rights to sell them, they can't. It was a mistake made by Microsoft when transferring 360 games to the new store.
@BANJO Was that actually an error or was it intentional?
@NotoriousWhiz It was an error they made.... So I'm thinking it's certainly possible they could take them back... Hope not 😏
@BANJO I got Borderlands The Handsome Collection for free before it was added to Game Pass and they removed it from my account because it was an error 🙁.
@BlueOcean Ah ok.. I better play the games shortly incase they remove them soon 🤔....
