Digital vs. Disc Version of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare on XBONE

I'm attempting to install Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare (XB360) with a disc but it's generating errors, even before trying to install. I found out it's not on the backward compatibility list, even though a digital version of the game is on the XBONE
Store — Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare kaufen – Microsoft Store de-DE.
I have XB Live Gold, so that's not an issue. I rebooted the console twice but no cigar.

Am I missing something here? In this case, does backward compatibility only pertain to physical disc versions?

:)

 

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 1 - Xbox 360 to Xbox One

Plants vs. Zombies is backwards compatible, but Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is not. You would have to purchase the One version if you want to play it on the One.

 

PLANTS VS ZOMBIES GARDEN WARFARE 2!!!

My wish has been granted, Graveyard Ops listed!

The Xbox 360 version and Xbox One versions of the game are different - the link you posted is to the Xbox One version of the game. Because the Xbox 360 version is not backwards compatible, it won't work on the Xbox One at this time. To play the game on
Xbox One, you'll need to purchase the Xbox One version (as there is currently no offer for a free or discounted upgrade), or wait until the 360 version becomes backwards compatible - you can voice your support for it to be added to the BC library here:

Thanks for the reply. I understand what you're saying. Since there's a digital version that works, backward compatibility shouldn't be much of a workaround for Microsoft and the game developer.

 

it depends on whats asked but as there is a digital version for the one already it may not be done.

also if you have EA access the game is in the vault for people who have the subscription alongside a lot of other EA games.

but i cant see the 360 version being uploaded as the one version is available.
