Capcom Game Getting Delisted on March 28
23.03.2024 - 21:53 / gamerant.com / Dalton Cooper
Capcom has confirmed that Age of Booty, its strategy pirate game, is being delisted from Xbox starting March 28. This is disappointing news from Capcom at what is otherwise a fairly exciting time for the company.
Capcom just recently launched Dragon's Dogma 2 to rave reviews, with many critics singing the praises of the newly-released open world action-RPG. There has been some controversy surrounding Dragon's Dogma 2's microtransactions and performance, but otherwise the game has proven to be quite popular. Capcom enthusiasts will be kept plenty busy by Dragon's Dogma 2, but in the meantime, they are running out of time to add Age of Booty to their collection.
Age of Booty is being delisted from Xbox starting March 28. The game was previously delisted from PC and PS3 as well, meaning Age of Booty will effectively be impossible to purchase after March 28. The game earned mixed reviews from critics at the time of its release in 2008, though there was some praise for its online multiplayer modes. Age of Booty is playable on the latest Xbox consoles thanks to backward compatibility, so anyone interested can play it on a modern platform if they buy it by March 28. The game is currently on sale for $0.99, so anyone interested can at least pick it up for next to nothing.
It's always sad whenever a video game gets delisted, though there is usually an obvious reason for it, like expiring licenses and things of that nature. Age of Booty being delisted is more mysterious, and Capcom has not revealed exactly why this is happening. The game has been available to Xbox players for 16 years, so it's strange to see it suddenly be delisted, though the good news is that anyone that already owns it will retain access to it, even after it's pulled from the store.
Age of Booty isn't the only Xbox game on the chopping block this month. EA delisted seven games on March 21, including multiple titles in the F1 racing game series as well as the multiplayer shooter game Rocket Arena. Delistings are an unfortunate reality of the all-digital future, and unfortunately, they will only become more common as time goes on.
