Can't get backward compatible 360 games free with gold on xbox one

FranticFlapjack · Dec 11, 2015

I have xbox live gold and i've been trying to download 360 games that are backwards compatible and free with gold but whenever I try my xbox tells me to do the purchase on xbox.com and xbox.com tells me to do the purchase on my xbox. Is there any way for
me to download the free with gold game on to my xbox. Please note that I do not own an xbox 360 just an xbox one.

I've heard that Activision has decided to disallow BC on CoD

Is it true that Activision has forbidden any and all Call of Duty titles on the Xbox 360 to become backwards compatible with the Xbox One? If so, that sucks. Also, it's a harbinger of a Call of Duty collection.

With Microsoft's recent announcement stating that all future Games with Gold titles will become backwards compatible, I can't help but draw the conclusion that no Call of Duty titles on the Xbox 360 will ever become free Games with Gold, which also sucks.

Backward Compatibility

Every month I download 2 free games on Gold to my Xbox one, but, i cannot download the 360 games from Gold into my Xbox one for backward compatibility. How do i activate my Xbox One to start playing backward compatible 360 games.

Yep do it from the website

Only way to do it without a 360

360 purchases cannot be done via an xbox one as mentioned on the faq

Also you need a payment option on file in order to make the purchase even free ones but it does not affect the pricd

Unless you are the one without gold (home.gold doesn't count it must be te master account)

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.

Hi Liamjf,

You can use the cloud storage for xbox 360 to save your files on but after gold ends you can't acces them anymore but if the game is backwards compatible on the one you can use the cloud storage for free no gold required so you need gold on the 360 to use
the cloud but not on the one

XBOX one has backward compatibility already. More games get dumped into the list for preview members in September and October and November for the rest. So XBOX1 should be a easy choice. Also confirmed all 360 free games with gold will be backward compatible
right away. Well at least for preview members.

Up! This is still a persisting problem. Any update on this?

Based on
majornelson.com/.../preparing-for-xbox-one-backward-compatibility-on-the-xbox-one

TIP: Every month Xbox Live Gold members get two free Xbox One and two free Xbox 360 games with the Games With Gold program. You can redeem these free games at
http://www.xbox.com whether you own the console or not – as long as you have an account. If you don’t own an Xbox One and decide to purchase one in the future, you’ll already have a collection of games available
to you. And if you don’t own an Xbox 360 and the games are added to the list of backward compatible games, you’ll be able to play them on your Xbox One.

But xbox support keep saying I should have 360

Free Trials will not let you purchase the 360 Games with Gold. You will only be able to get the Xbox One games.

This is clarified on the support page.

For Xbox 360 console customers only:

You can’t redeem backward-compatible Games with Gold with this type of Xbox Live Gold trial.

Hope this helps.
