The page points out that once you’ve purchased a game from the Xbox 360 Marketplace, you can still delete it from the hard drive and re-download it from the Storefront at any time.
It is currently unclear if any of the games on this list will be available to play on the new Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles via backward compatibility. Many of these Xbox 360 games aren’t even available for sale digitally on Microsoft’s new consoles, so it’s possible that a few Xbox 360 titles may disappear from sale entirely after February 7th.
The removal of these digital game titles also comes as physical game sales continue to decline. There is always the risk that digital games, like any digital media content, may not be available for sale at any time for various reasons.
