Upcoming Delisting: Two Xbox Exclusive Games to Disappear Soon
An upcoming delisting is underway after developer Doley Time Foundation announced it will close. Two Xbox-exclusive games are set to be removed from the Xbox Store soon. Both titles originally launched in 2018 for Xbox One and PC only.
Which games are affected
The studio confirmed Boss 101 and Zazmo Arcade Pack will be delisted. Zazmo Arcade Pack bundles five smaller games into one package. Both releases have been Xbox console exclusives for roughly eight years.
Availability and pricing
Boss 101 remains listed on the Xbox Store for $14.99. It carries an almost perfect user review score on Xbox. Zazmo Arcade Pack is priced at $9.99 and currently lacks a user review score on the Xbox Store.
Developer closure and Steam removal
Doley Time Foundation removed both games from Steam on April 12. The developer said ongoing costs outweighed revenue. Running the business, store, and web services became unsustainable.
Studio statement
The team explained that time and money forced the decision. They said they still believed in their work. But finances left them no choice but to shut down.
What players should know
Neither title requires an online connection. That means purchased copies will remain playable after delisting. The games have not been discounted during the shutdown process.
