Do I need Xbox Live on my 360 to connect my 360 profile to my Xbox one?

ScalierLake1649 · Nov 8, 2017

I’m trying to play a backwards compatible game from my Xbox one but it tells me I need to sign into an account. I tried downloading my Xbox 360 profile but after entered the email and password, it told me I need to sign in from my Xbox one and wouldn’t let
me choose the profile it brought up. Do I need an Xbox Live account on my Xbox 360 and/or my Xbox one to download my Xbox 360 profile to my Xbox one?

Does XBOX live still work for the Xbox 360?

I bought an xbox 360 December 2015 and my 360 came with a 1 month xbox live gold membership card,but didn't have Internet at the time now I do.I need to know a few things.
#1.It says I need broadband Internet connection, do I need to connect my 360 to the modem, or can I do it wireless?

#2.Is there anything, games, wallpapers, to download for free or do I have to pay for everything?

#3.If xbox live still is available for the Xbox 360 what games are people still playing online, like Halo 4, Cod Black Ops 2 Maybe?

#4.I don't have a xbox kinetc , do I need one for xbox live?

#5.My 360 also came with Call of Duty Black Ops 2 game to download from xbox live, if I download it will Black Ops 2 be on my system even when my one month trial runs out?

#6.When I set up a Microsoft account, will my account still be available when my 1 month trial runs out, and I'm thinking of buying an Xbox One this summer, if I do get an xbox one will my Microsoft account be available for that console when and if I connect it to xbox live?

Sorry if this topic is already in another thread, I'm asking because I never had, or used online gaming of any kind before, also if xbox live isn't available for the Xbox 360 anymore then sorry for wasting your time and lock this thread.

There's no connection to my Xbox 360 whatsoever, trying to connect to my live profile, it fails. Trying to connect to my offline profile, it fails. I can't play anything on my 360 please help!

Hey there ScalierLake1649.

If you're trying to access your Xbox 360 saves you do need an Xbox Live subscription, but you shouldn't need a subscription just to download your profile. It sounds like you may be using the incorrect sign-in details.

If you are just simply trying to add a profile you had on your Xbox 360 to your Xbox One, you can do so by just putting in the login information for that account on your Xbox One.

The problem is that I never linked my xbox 360 to my xbox live account, and now it don't want to. So I'm trying to link my xbox live account to my xbox 360, but all I get are error messages.

My account is linked to my xbox one without any problems, but in order to save xbox 360 game data on my xbox one, I have to download my/a xbox 360 profile, which I can't do because my profile won't connect to xbox live.

Usually I would just play my 360 games on the xbox 360, but unfortunately my xbox 360 can't run games due to a hardware malfunction.

Hi Mister Maka,

I have read it but it's not applicable in my case. Quote from the guide:

"Note The first time you start an Xbox 360 game on your Xbox One, you’ll have to sign in and download your Xbox 360 profile".

That's my problem, the profile is not being downloaded, it specifies that it can't connect to Xbox Live, even though my Xbox One is connected since I have downloaded and installed games, added my 14 days trial of Live Gold etc.

Do I need Xbox Live Gold Membership in order to sign in to the Xbox360 profile (which I don't have) ?

I can’t connect to Xbox live on 360 back compatible games. The rest of the Xbox one behaves normally. I know it’s not a problem with my console because both my old 360 and the 360 emulator on the Xbox one do it.

I thought maybe the problem was on my end so I did a soft reset. Now the 360 emulator on the Xbox one has no profile on it. I can’t download my profile to it because it can’t connect to Xbox live. So I can’t save at all in back compatible games.

Is it a regional problem? Is it down for maintenance? The status page doesn’t mention anything.
