With all the madness that took place yesterday regarding Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, we didn't get a chance to highlight the weekly deals on Xbox! Well, aside from the backwards compatibility sale, of course.
Below, we've also included some of the highlights from the Deals with Gold and Spotlight sales this week, along with the special [email protected] Thrills & Chills sale. Xbox's Major Nelson has listed the complete set of deals including all DLC over at Xbox Wire.
- All 250+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (January 18-25)
- Deals: Xbox Is Having A Massive Backwards Compatibility Sale This Week

Already bought nine games from the backwards compatibility sale! Best sale in a long time
A lot of X360 games!!!
I can't buy Jet Set Radio (£2.02!), not even on the marketplace, I get the endless loading circle. I tried on the laptop and phone.

@Banjo- Yeah, common issue unfortunately. Have you tried as many different browsers as possible?
@FraserG I tried on Edge and Chrome, normal and private sessions and I accepted the cookies.
Anthem for 90% off
I feel sorry for Bioware really as that was such a massive flop you can't give it away.
@Banjo- I always have problems with the Xbox store not working on some computers for some reason. Do you have an Xbox you can buy it from direct as that's always worked best for me.
Anyone have any views on Oddworld Soulstorm? I know the enhanced edition is meant to have addressed some of the game’s launch problems and made several QoL improvements. Is it worth picking up?
@PhileasFragg That particular game is not available on the console store.
@Banjo- Try messing with the privacy settings of your browser.
(for example on iOS Safari you have to disable the "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking" option)
@Nightcrawler71 Also interested. My son has £30 in Microsoft points as not wanted anything Fortnite related for a while (thankfully.) Loves his oddworld games but didn't hear good things from ps5 release.
Has Jet Set Radio been removed from sale?
@domotor I tried other browsers and they say "web page not available".
@Banjo- Just tried myself and got the same. Tried with opera browser and worked first time.
@Beermonkey Weird. I just tried on Opera (on the phone) and it asked to add a payment method. I added the same credit card, that I last used an hour ago to buy Sonic Unleashed (another Xbox 360 game) and somehow I managed to purchase Jet Set Radio now. Installed and launched. The only time I played this (just a little bit) was on a friend's Dreamcast. Thank you!
However, it's not in the official backwards compatible list. There must be some issue with this game, not that it's not backwards compatible but something related to the music licence. Better to grab it while we can!

Well I just bought 100 dollars worth of BackCompat games. lol
@Banjo- Glad to help. I have pulled the trigger on a few games. Too good at that price.
Strange Brigade is an incredible game. Awesome Egyptian vibe with great enemy design. The season pass is also on sale and totally worth it.
Fable Anniversary hardly ever goes on sale so if you are on the fence about it, buy it!
