    Xbox won't load games unless I play a 360 game via disc.


    So for some reason, my Xbox One S simply refuses to load any games unless I insert an Xbox 360 disc (The only type of game that seems to work) and have the game run for 30 minutes.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem? And has anyone fixed it?

    :)

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I'm sorry you're experiencing these issues.

    Please try the following steps:

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Remove accounts.

    Remove your account from the console (You need to have your email address handy so that you can log in later).

    2. Press and hold the Power button on the front of your Xbox until the console turns off.

    3. Unplug the power cord from the back of your Xbox.

    4. Wait a minute, and then plug the power cord back in.

    5. Press the Power button on your Xbox to turn it back on.

    6. Log in to your account again.

    If the problem persists, please try a soft reset.

    Go to Settings > System > Console info.

    There select the option to reset the console while keeping your games and applications.

    This process will remove the accounts on your console, you just need to re-enter them with their respective email and password.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    They aren't considering backwards compatibility. They are considering an emulator that will allow the Xbox One to play 360 games via streaming or downloading. It won't actually read old 360 discs, though.

    Batman Arkham Origins: Not backwards compatible

    The problem with the disc versions is that when I tried to load them up on my Xbox One, the game wouldn't load. Honestly, unless Arkham Origins can be played, it shouldn't be on the list.

    id rather buy the digital copy. It may cost a bit more but its worth it. The next gen xbox console will not be able to read 360 discs which means all those disc games you have will be useless unless you play out the 360. Also having the digital copy is alot
    faster loading times.

    How can I play Xbox 360 games with my Xbox one account that is not transferred from an Xbox 360?

    i had the same issue but once the game is loaded i was not signed in, i then bring up the xbox 360 guide and then select sign in, the game won't bring up the sign in page you have to via the 360 menu.
