    Backwards compatibility

    Hi

    This is not true the Xbox One can play quite a few Xbox 360 games through backwards compatibility. Please note the console needs to be online to allow it to download the backwards compatible version of the game.

  3. Does XB1 require an internet connection at all times for the 360 backwards compatibility function?

    I understand the basics of the backwards compatibility function, but does an Xbox One console need to be online to use the game once it’s been installed? (I'm talking about games that would normally be played offline, of course - not multiplayer or Live
    games)

    Phone hotspots aren't the greatest for gaming you are better off with hardwired or WiFi

    You only need to be connected to live to play live multiplayer

    But you also need to download the patch or game if on disk or games on demand in order to play them too

    Would like to transfer Microsoft balance from my son's account to mine. How do I do that?

    The one thing that was not answered for you and this is assuming that the game is a 360 backwards compatible game and you are trying to do this on a xbox one is this.

    The ONLY way to use MS account currency to purchase anything backwards compatible would be to do it directly on a xbox 360 itself you can not use MS account currency to purchase backwards compatible items on a xbox one or on the MS store online.
