    Games still playable if delisted?


    This is something I've been wondering and trying to work out. I've read that Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) was apparently on the backwards compatibility list, but isn't anymore. For me, this is a game I really want
    to play again and I don't want to spend extra money on a 360. My main question though, is if a delisted game is still playable via a digital copy of the game. Anybody happen to know? (This is to be completely sure on this, because I'm still getting used to
    backwards compatibility.)

    :)

    Every player looks the same? what about custom gear?

    If anybody cares they fixed this. Now your character is playable in Hardcore. Game is still horrible though.

    Licensing

    So if I transfer my licensing to a Xbox One will my games on my 360 still be playable?

    I've never heard of NFS Most Wanted being backward compatible. Once a game is made backward compatible, it is unlikely that it will be removed...

    I would've thought something may have been done about that by now considering it's been over two years since the idea was brought up and that it's considered to be the best game in the
    Need For Speed franchise. Then again, maybe something to do with the closure of EA Black Box could play a part in this as none of their other games are backwards compatible. But we'll just have to wait and see if it does become a reality...

    Hi!

    All games in the backward compatibility program list are here: https://www.xbox.com/en-Us/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

    NSF Most Wanted unfortunately has not been on the list, but there is a proposal to insert it: https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/298503-backward-compatibility/suggestions/8377326-need-for-speed-m...

    I contacted a Employee about a problem, but after talking got no response? Any way I get an update on my issue?

    It's not a glitch. As Thanos Opressor stated, the servers for the game were shut down a while ago and the game was delisted since it's no longer playable.

    Dash of Destruction/Other Delisted Games

    if they had the game before it was delisted it should still be playable regardless if it was saved to a hard drive or a flash drive but if it gets deleted they should still be able to download it again from the download history even if it is not available
    for somebody to buy who never had it before.
