Backwards compatible games: NO LIVE

Young Mahn · Apr 11, 2017

Black Ops 2 recently dropped as a backwards compatible game and I went to go play it. Little did I know you have to have live on your own account in order for it to work. I home share with another Xbox One. On that console is another profile which has live.
Because I am home sharing, I get access to live normally through my own account on Xbox One games online. But with Xbox 360 games (backwards compatible) I do not have access to live anymore when trying to play online such as Black Ops 2.

Is there a way to allow this live to go through for me to be able to use backwards compatible games online? Or do I just have to deal with it and possibly purchase live for this account too in order to play backwards compatible games?

Any feedback would be outstanding! Thanks!

:)

No, you don't need to be a member of Xbox Live Gold to play backwards compatible games.

No. That game is not backwards compatible. You can see a list of all backwards compatible games here - Xbox One Backward Compatibility

Since BO2 is an xbox 360 bc game you need to have gold membership purchased for your account in order to play it online.

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.

Hello Gabriel,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. You can most definitely do this if you are playing backwards compatible games. If the game is on 360, and also on the Xbox one as a backwards compat title, then you guys will be able to play with each other
through Xbox live (If the game permits it).

Check out the backwards compatible game list here : Backwards compatible Game Library

Games with Gold Titles Included in Backward Compatibility

When backward compatibility launches in November, all future Xbox 360 Games with Gold titles will be playable on Xbox One. That means Xbox Live Gold members now will get more free games to play each month on Xbox One.

Just make sure that your console is connected to Xbox Live when you are trying to install a backwards compatible game, even from disc, as all backwards compatible games need to be downloaded, not installed from disc.

Also it is up to the developers of games to decide if a particular title is made Backwards compatible or not, feel free to reach out to them and ask about making their game(s) backwards compatible too.

It's actually down to the game publisher whether or not the game will be on the backward compatible library. All you can do is keep any eye on the list, and hopefully it will be on there soon. Here is the list
