    I just bought H.A.W.X 2 off GameStop not knowing it was not backwards compatible. Is there anything I can do to get the game to work on my Xbox 1?

    Nope. If it's not backwards compatible it won't work.

    360 games on 1 console

    No.



    The xbox 1 has no backwards compatibility.



    You will need to keep your 360 to keep playing your 360 games.



    It is theoretically possible for a 360 emulator to be released on the xbox 1 to allow this but there has been no announcement of this so I doubt it will happen.

    Xbox backwards compatibility

    Hello Gamer! Backwards compatibility means the version before the current which for example if an Xbox 1 game is backwards compatible it can be played with Xbox 1 and Xbox 360. Which means a backwards compatible game for the Xbox 360 can’t be played with
    an Xbox 1.

    Transferring X360 to X1 S

    Is it possible to transfer Xbox 360 disc games to Xbox One S? I would really like to do that and if its possible i would like to know.
    Yes, you can play Xbox 360 (and original Xbox) games on Xbox One. There are two ways, putting the disc in or buying the game (you may get the game for free if you used the same Microsoft account from your Xbox 360). But there will be a few downsides:

    1. Most Xbox 360 (and original Xbox) games will not be rendered in 4K

    2. Only select Xbox 360 titles can be played using Backwards Compatibility. List of games

    Xbox 360 and Xbox One

    Its more than possible, its real. If you've got a game that has multiplayer or co-op and you're playing it online on the Xbox 360 you're bound to have run into an Xbox One player at some point. Assuming the game is something with backwards compatibility
    features. The Xbox One runs what's basically a simulation of the 360's UI to play backwards compatible games. However, its impossible to play two different versions of a game. You can't play a title that was released on the 360 and the Xbox One and expect
    to be able to play it with the person who has the Xbox One version. So basically you can play 360 games online or offline on the Xbox One but not the other way around.

    Here's about backwards compatibility. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility

    In short, can you? Yes. Just only on Xbox 360 games that are compatible with the Xbox One.
