Downloading a backward compatible game

I am trying to download 3 360 games which are backward compatible. It's the Dead Space series. I have all three of the physical disks that I am trying to download with. They download fine, but then I get a message that says I need to renew my EA Access
in order to play them. That makes no sense since I could play them before I ever had EA Access (which I have canceled), and I have the disks themselves. I am not trying to play them through EA. What's up with this? How can I play them using the disks?

:)

 

Can't buy backwards compatible games on marketplace?

It's not gears 3, (for as far as i know gears 3 is not backwards compatible)

I can't download any backwards compatible game.

Is there another way then to log in on a xbox 360 console? like if i buy a physical disc of a backwards compatible game, would it work then? and would i be able to download 360 games after that.

 

Sonic demo isn't working?

Hey there freakyboy86,

Backwards Compatibility only works for full titles that are available on the backwards compatibility list. Game Demos are not included in the backwards compatibility feature. If you want to try a specific Xbox 360 game out before purchasing and downloading,
you will need to download the demo on an actual Xbox 360 console.

Happy Gaming!

try to redownload your account and see if it works.

 

Are you playing the games with the Xbox 360 game disc in the drive? It is no different than Xbox One disc-based games, in that you must have the game disc in the drive to play it.

 

Hello!

After you put the disk in and install the game, are you keeping the disk in the Xbox? Have you tried reinstalling the games via the disk since getting the error?

 

Be sure you keep the disc in the drive. You will need that in order to play them.

 

Delete your profile from your Xbox, do a Power Cicle and download your profile again, If It doesn't work try to download the game again. If none of this works You will have to talk to Xbox Support
