can i play 360 games on xbox one

In theory you can connect a Xbox One S, Xbox One X and Xbox 360 consoles locally. However, the game you intend to play has to support local link play.

However, for Xbox One games, I know of no game that supports local link play.

On the Xbox 360, there are several games that allow local network play, and if the Xbox 360 game is backwards compatible, you can also play that Xbox 360 version of the game on your Xbox One.

However, be aware that you can NOT play the Xbox One version of a game with the Xbox 360 Version of the game. So for example, you can NOT play FIFA 14 on the Xbox One together with a person playing FIFA 14 on the Xbox 360.

You can however play Halo 3 as a backwards compatible Xbox 360 title on the Xbox One together with someone on a Xbox 360.

Thanks for your help, but neither works. As i say its just stuff pertaining to the Xbox 360. I can play 360 games on the Xbox 360 and the Xbox one, but can't do multiplayer or access 360 DLC, though I can play 360 games that i've downloaded. I can be connected to Xbox Live on the Xbox one, but as soon as i try to play a 360 games I am disconnected It's most frustrating as one can't speak/use chat directly to Microsoft regarding the issue.

Even though you can play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One this is and always be a no go. You can play a 360 game on Xbox one provided it is compatible with someone on 360 but you have never been able to play a Xbox One version of a game with someone who is playing
a 360 version of the same game.

so, after 1 whole year of the console being out, you still don't know if it can play 360 games? I will assume you just got the internet, and tell you, NO IT CAN'T AND THAT IS WHY I DO NOT OWN ONE!!!

Hi There,

You can't play Xbox One games on the 360, but you can play 360 games on the Xbox One console.
