    XBOX Retro Games - Cannot stream games


    Hi, everyone - I love the XBOX Retro Classics. All the Activision games, even the obscure ones. They all worked for a couple of weeks, but now I cannot get one to open up and play. Pitfall, River Raid, Enduro, Pitfall II, even Skeleton+ - all I get is the loading screen. It's a real bummer, and I'll probably cancel my Game Pass. Yes, it is pathetic that my favorite thing on Game Pass is something from 40 years ago, but that's where I am.

    Any help or suggestions would be great! Thanks.

    Backwards compatible streaming?

    Personally, I have been gaming for 34 years, and have been with Xbox since the OG console dropped in 2000. Having said this, yes I am an absolute fan of retro gaming. I would love to see these games brought up to modern streaming standards.

    Game DVR Xbox App

    Sorry, but it is not currently possible to upload console-streamed game videos. When you record a streamed game, the GameDVR video is associated with the Xbox app, not with the streamed game (because the recording feature doesn't know you are streaming or
    what you are streaming). Consequently it cannot be uploaded (Xbox Live knows that the Xbox app is not a game).

    Hi Jameel, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

    Jameel, unfortunately I'm afraid that from this device you won't be able to use Xbox games even in a streamed way.

    Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time as far as possible apologizing in advance for any delay in replying. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.
