An indie game is about to vanish from the Xbox Store after just 10 months—and it’s raising eyebrows across the gaming community. Basureroes: Invasion, a 2D platformer where you lead a team of superheroes to fend off an alien invasion, is set to be delisted on December 5, 2025. But here’s where it gets controversial: Publisher JanduSoft hasn’t given a clear reason for the removal, leaving fans speculating about potential publishing disputes or other behind-the-scenes issues. Could this be a licensing problem, or something more complex? And this is the part most people miss—if you’ve been eyeing the game’s achievements (available at https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Basureroes-Invasion/achievements), now’s your last chance to grab it from the Microsoft Store for $12.49 / £10.49 / €12.49.
In a recent social media post (https://x.com/JanduSoft/status/1984561127603265685?t=_6kF1TLs4eUeSfKlVr80RQ&s=19), JanduSoft confirmed the game will also disappear from PlayStation and Nintendo digital stores on the same date. While current owners can still play the game after delisting, new players won’t be able to purchase it on consoles—a move that feels abrupt, especially since the game only launched on January 30, 2025. Adding to the mystery, JanduSoft appears to have been removed as the publisher on Steam, suggesting a potential rift in the game’s distribution.
For those curious about the game, Basureroes: Invasion offers a unique twist on the superhero genre, blending fast-paced platforming with a quirky alien-invasion storyline. But with its sudden delisting, it’s hard not to wonder: Is this a sign of broader challenges facing indie developers, or just a one-off issue? Bold question for gamers: Should publishers be more transparent about why games get delisted, or is it their right to keep such decisions private?
If you’re on the fence about buying, consider this: once it’s gone, it’s gone—lost to the digital ether. Will you be securing your copy before time runs out? Let us know in the comments! And speaking of delisting, keep an eye on Fallout 4—rumors suggest its PC version might also vanish from the Xbox Store soon (https://www.trueachievements.com/news/fallout-4-xbox-play-anywhere).
