Backwards compatibility - Xbox360 EA LOTR

Barisart911 · Aug 24, 2021

Hello there,

A sincere question or request to bring back a childhood sensation for many, many people.

Lord Of The Rings Conquest (xbox360) is not backwards compatible, and many people find that extremely unfortunate. If you search for this topic on Youtube, Google, etc., the question is extremely common.

Why is this not possible? EA rights? Now with the collaboration between Xbox Game Pass and EA games, surely this should be possible?

Is there any option to ever make this possible?

Thank you, sincerely.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is

Welcome to the community. I hope I can help you in the best way.

Hello Barisart911, the addition of games in the store, whether in the new generation or in backward compatibility depends more on the developer than on Microsoft itself.

The reasons, can be various, from copyright, use of characters, music etc.

There are games that do not even go to backward compatibility and develop it makes a new version for the new generation, an example is GTA V.

Best regards,

The backwards compatibility program was suspended some time ago (2019 I believe) with no news on if it will restart again in the future (probably not I imagine)

They are not in full collaboration with EA, just EA play in gamepass thats it, EA would have to decide if they want the game made BC and as has already been stated, the BC program is not running at the moment.

Is the disc for a backwards compatible xbox360 game as only discs for backwards compatible games will register.

Most backwards compatibility trends finish themselves out, so I would rest assured that if they have been releasing similar games, they will do the same with LEGO LOTR
