    Backwards compatibility game disks won't load


    I am having a big problem at the moment playing any backwards comp game on disk. I was playing gears of war other night and next day won't work I put disk in xbox one and if I click game tile, gears screen comes up then goes off and get message asking
    if I own game or so. My digital games are playing fine tho. I had a problem over weekend with it and followed help on here and cleaned my xbox 360 storage from xbox one settings and got it working but back to square one again. I even installed Kane and
    Lynch 2 yesterday to see if that would work but after it installed getting same

    :)

  3. Backward compatibility listed game won't load

    hi,

    I'm relatively dumb when it comes to gaming and I (well my son) needs help.

    We have an XBox 1. I have a copy of "Call of Duty: Black Ops" which I used to play on my old XBox 360.

    We have tried to load this game, following the instructions, but we keep getting an error advising it can't be loaded and refers us to the backward compatibility support page.

    This game is listed for backward compatibility, and according to the instructions it should be a matter of simply putting the disc in for it to load.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I also am unable to play ANY backwards Comp' discs on my XboxOne. The discs are in perfect working order and still play on the 360.

    Digital licences are no problem.

    Can this please be recognised as a valid issue as it appears to be affecting a small but consistent number of consumers.

    No none of the discs are damaged at all and work in the 360. I own a lot of discs that are backwards comp and unplayable meaning only way is to pay for digital licences for games I already own. Not happy at all its problem after problem with xbox been with
    xbox for years but I am seriously considering going to PS4 as this is unbelievable

  7. Hey, guys! It sounds like you may need to do a
    factory reset
    to see if that fixes your games. I suggest following the steps on that article to reset your console. Let us know if that works for you!

  9. Hey there CuparDerry!

    Sorry to hear that the issue is continuing to occur. Just to clarify, are you experiencing any issues playing Xbox One game discs in your console? Also, does the issue occur with all of your backward compatible discs? When you get a chance, please check
    out our
    Backward Compatibility Troubleshooting page and be sure to fill out the survey at the end. This way we can make sure that the appropriate teams have visibility on the issue. Thanks in advance!

  11. Thanks for clarifying that you are able to play Xbox One discs. One other question, are you able to play DVD's on your console? Thanks again!

  12. I'm having the same issue as the OP. Case #: [mod removed]. I rec'd my brand new copy of L4D2 earlier this week, loaded it fine, played it fine. Yesterday, it wouldn't run at all. I tried my GoW3 disc, which I have played dozens of times,
    solo and multiplayer. Won't load either. My xbox one disc of Witcher 3 works fine. Neverwinter works fine. My digital version of Enhanced GoW1 works fine. Dvd player works fine.

  14. I read the troubleshooting guide, however it doesn't really apply to this situation: my password works fine, I don't use external storage, and I shouldn't need a digital license since the 2 xbox 360 games I own, I own the discs for. Plus, they were both
    working just fine a week ago. I've had 2 chat sessions with online help staff (thank you to them both). I've uninstalled both 360 games. I've removed my profile and re-installed it twice. I've done the factory reset (saving apps and games), I've created
    a 2nd profile and tried to install the discs/games under the 2nd profile. Nothing is working.

    Is it safe to say it's NOT a hardware issue if I can run xbox one discs and DVDs?

    Thank you.

    Report: Xbox 360 emulation planned for Xbox One, claims Microsoft executive

    It's not like you'll be able to just insert your 360 game disk and play. Far from it. Everyone will have to rebuy each game or subscribe to a rental service so...not really backwards compatible TBH. Backward compatible won't exist here...sorry.

    Would I be able to okay games I bought on xbox live (games on demand) in the new xbox one like they are linked to my account so, when I get the xbox one I can sign in on my account and download the games I bought

    You won't be able to play any Xbox 360 games on the X1, whether they're disk or games on demand. The X1 isn't backwards compatible.

    Xbox one won’t let me play any Xbox 360 games

    Hi,

    I've looked and it is backwards compatible, have you checked your library as it doesn't load from the disk it downloads a digital copy to you xbox one it just uses the disk as a verification that you have the game

    Accessing games redeemed on 360 to my Xbox one

    Hello if you own Xbox 360 games and are backwards compatible, they will appear automatically in Ready to Install. If you do not have them digitally and you have them on the disk and the games are backwards compatible, you can play these games over the
    disk.

    Backwards compatibility

    My Xbox one won't play my 360 Lego pirates of the Caribbean even though that is on the list of backwards compatible games. Why doesn't it work?what can I do?
    Clean your disk and make sure there are no scratches on the disk itself
