Xbox Series X|S consoles are being updated constantly, you know, as expected for a pair of systems that launched in 2020. However, did you know that Xbox 360 is still getting updates? That's right, Microsoft just issued a 'service fix' to Xbox 360 consoles as players reported issues with 'Pins'.
Well, when we say 'players', Xbox's Eden Marie says that two people reported the Xbox 360 issue. Even so, Microsoft has listened to those two players and worked on a quick fix, nice!
To be honest, we didn't know Microsoft was still updating Xbox 360 but it's great to see the company quickly sort out issues on a console that's over 15 years old at this point. Sure, this seems to be a server-side patch rather than a full on update, but still, it's encouraging nonetheless.
If any of you continue do use Xbox 360 and notice the pins issue yourself, be sure to check on the patch's progress. Marie requests that players let her and Xbox know if problems persist 24 hours after the fix.
Are you still regularly using Xbox 360? Let us know in the comments below.

Yet another example of how Microsoft is generally the best console maker at supporting previous consoles and games. Thanks to MS backwards compatibility I don't have to rebuy many old games each generation and I can still turn on my X360's and play games that are not in the BC programme.
I still use an Xbox 360 to play non-BC titles. Don't use pins though.
Great, just bought a xbox 360 (pristine condition + kinect), mine was stolen in 2013, still have a lot of 360 discs (a lot of kinect) and not bc compatible ones that's why we bought it, we're giving it to my youngest daughter for her 6th birthday , she's gonna be so happy,
Good to see the system as a whole is still being serviced ...lol
Maybe they'll fix the Downloadable movies feature and entire series showing up instead of just 13...
Got to say i regularly play on my old 360 and cant really say ive ever used the pins feature before.
I still use my 360 regularly for titles I can’t play on my Series X.
Would be good if they could fix the issue with many games downloading to 99% then resetting - bought 3 DOA games this week in the sales & not one of them will download to any of my 360's
That’s awesome, now about fixing the movies and tv app where the genres don’t appear anymore or how some anime series are listed but won’t allow you to purchase.
I think it was 9 years ago now I packed my 360 away alongside my rockband drum set with plans to one day once again play Beatles rockband….one day… probably another 9 years… and probably get RROD - what a nostalgia trip that will be!
That’s just awesome support. Well done Xbox.
I used my 360 today and didn't see the patch. Cool to see support though.
@Vincent294 Yeah I believe it was just a server-side patch so nothing will download locally to your system. Still cool to see the fix happen though!
I have my 360 in the Bedroom. I jump into it when my wife is using the living room tv where all my new consoles are. Its still a great system to jump into from time to time.
Here I am still waiting when they will fix Xbox Series S capture issues which either come out without any sound or have out-of-sync audio.
