A Question on Backwards Compatibility for Downloaded 360 games.

lCaptainAmurica · Jun 19, 2015

I'm very excited for Backwards Compatibility coming to Xbox One. I have a question on using Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One. I downloaded several great games on the Xbox 360 using its downloading service. I loved it because I didn't need to go out to the
store to get new or older games. My question is will I be able to transfer the game data from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One? For example, could I transfer the data from the Xbox 360 HDD to a personal external hard drive, and then plug in the drive to the Xbox
One and play the game? If not, will there be another method to play games downloaded onto an Xbox 360 HDD on the Xbox One?

Hello BragDrake162825,

My apologies, but it seems I'm having some difficulty understanding exactly what you are asking. But, if the question is can you play Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One? Then the answer is, maybe.... It all depends on if your games are part of the "Backward
Compatible Game Library" . For more information on Xbox Backward Compatibility see "Xbox One backward compatibility FAQ" and "Playing
Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One" .

Good luck and good gaming,

Virtual Xbox 360 games from bought from marketplace. Yay or nay for Xbox one?

You can play some Xbox 360 games on Xbox One through backwards compatibility. A full list of those games is here:
www.xbox.com/.../backward-compatibility

However, games for which there are both an Xbox One and Xbox 360 version are unlikely to ever be made backwards compatible, so if you wish to play that game on Xbox One you would need to purchase, either digitally or on disc, the Xbox One version of the
game.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have further questions.

Q: Can I continue a game that I started on my Xbox 360?

A: If you have saved your games to the cloud from an Xbox 360, you will be able to continue that game on the Xbox One. Some titles do not support cloud storage. In those cases, game saves will not be recovered on the Xbox One. For help on saving your games
to the cloud from your Xbox 360 console, check the following articles:

Hi,

As some additional information. to the answer already specified.

The backward compatible game while it is the same game the download is basically different version of the game, being the backward compatible version of the game. This is also the reason why inserting a backward compatible game via disc will result in the
backward compatible version being downloaded (disk is still required to start the game)

So in order for you to download that backward compatible version you will have to login to the Xbox Live Account that is used on the 360, which allows you to download backward compatible games that you own.

THANOS OPRESSOR

the game in question is part of the backwards compatibility, if you do not think you will read it, see the list of 360 games available for One in the backwards compatibility.

Xbox go home NL

It's not gears 3, (for as far as i know gears 3 is not backwards compatible)

I can't download any backwards compatible game.

Is there another way then to log in on a xbox 360 console? like if i buy a physical disc of a backwards compatible game, would it work then? and would i be able to download 360 games after that.

Hi

Hopefully below should help you a bit

1. Xbox 360 game discs can be used in Xbox One however the console needs to be online as it must download the backwards compatible version of the game. Please note the game disc is still required after downloading the game unless the game was purchased through
the marketplace.

2. With backwards compatibility Xbox One will run and Xbox 360 game along with an additional piece of software that (Emulates) the Xbox 360 on the Xbox One

3. Providing the Xbox 360 games you are wishing to play can also be played on Xbox One via backwards compatibility then there is no need for both consoles

Here is the current list of Xbox 360 games playable on Xbox One through backwards compatibility.

Here is an FAQ list reference backwards compatibility that might help with answering your questions.

Hey there freakyboy86,

Backwards Compatibility only works for full titles that are available on the backwards compatibility list. Game Demos are not included in the backwards compatibility feature. If you want to try a specific Xbox 360 game out before purchasing and downloading,
you will need to download the demo on an actual Xbox 360 console.

Happy Gaming!
