    Backwards compatible gaming


    Wouldn't it be easier for us to see which games are backwards compatible if there were some kind of icon or emblem next to the 360 games? I know there's a list that tells you but that's not the same list you can purchase games from or am I wrong?

    :)

    Microsoft: 'If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards'

    "Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, Mattrick said only 5 percent of gamers play past-generation titles on new machines.

    Thus, it would not make sense to invest time and resources into creating technology to allow gamers to play older games on the Xbox One, he said."

    "If you're backwards compatible, you're really backwards," he said.

    Thought this was interesting so I decided to post it

    Backwards compatible gaming

    I believe when you're browsing on an actual Xbox 360 console there's an icon on the game's page that indicates it'll work on Xbox One.

    As for having it on the Web store, that's a valuable suggestion that you should post on the Xbox Feedback site so that it may get implemented in future:

    Wheel of Fortune Xbox 360 game, want it upwards compatible

    While it is true that backwards compat is on hold. Every backwards compat licensing has to approved by the developer for that game to approve the ability of backwards compatibility. There are some developers unfortunately that will not allow there games
    to be backwards compatible .

    backwards compatible?

    That game is not backwards compatible. You can find a list of all games that are compatible at https://www.xbox.com/games/backward-compatibility

    There is no way to request a game to be compatible. The backwards compatibility program ended in 2021, so anything that is not compatible, won't be.
