Are there any means to getting this game on my xbox 360?
Hey everyone, I've been brainstorming possible workarounds to get this game back on my 360 (stock). I'm kicking myself for not downloading it before the store went down.
For context, I own the game on my microsoft account. I have tried finding it under the purchase/download history but the page returns an error when you try to download again. I've tried using other suggested tricks like global search and using the xbox store on pc, no dice.
I feel like there must be SOMETHING to do, because the game is still available for download on the Xbox series x store, but it doesn't play because the AI won't do anything (I've tried supposed solutions to fix the game also).
Looking for any creative workarounds if there are any. Here's what I've come up with so far.
Is there a way to spoof a flashdrive to make it look like I'm transferring the game from a legit 360 hdd? Then I can find the package online.
If I go the homebrew route, will that affect anything about my xbox live account? I have other consoles with CFW but I held off on doing anything to my 360 since I've had my gamertag forever and don't want to risk a ban.
And lastly, if I find someone who still had the game installed on a legit hdd, I could copy it to my own drive and it would work since I have the license? This seems pretty niche but I'd be willing to throw the cost of shipping someone's way to get the game again. Funny enough I have all of the DLC packs still downloaded just not the full game, so a data swap would be ideal.
I just find it hard to believe in 2026 with all the workarounds and tricks that have been found I can't download a game I own. Any help is appreciated.
