  1. HELP NEEDED previously downloaded backward compatible games are not starting


    I am having trouble with playing backwards compatible games. None of them will start I put them in and after a few minutes it will say "game not playable here" all games are already installed. Gta iv was already in the disc drive and I had played it the night before, but for some reason when I got on the next day it just wouldn't work, please help

    transfer digital download xbox 360 game to xbox one?

    Hi,

    As some additional information. to the answer already specified.

    The backward compatible game while it is the same game the download is basically different version of the game, being the backward compatible version of the game. This is also the reason why inserting a backward compatible game via disc will result in the
    backward compatible version being downloaded (disk is still required to start the game)

    So in order for you to download that backward compatible version you will have to login to the Xbox Live Account that is used on the 360, which allows you to download backward compatible games that you own.

    Hello, thanks for reaching out to us.

    As long as you have access to your account you will be able to purchase and Xbox Live Subscription on that account and download the profile to the new console.

    As for the question about the Xbox 360 games for the Xbox One console, the games will need to be
    Backward Compatible. You can find a list of compatible games in the

    Backward Compatible Game Library
    these games will be available for download as long as you have previously purchased the digital copy of the game, this also includes the games you may have redeemed from Games With Gold.

    Hope this answers your question! Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are happy to help!

    Backwards Compatibility

    Yes when you put in a backwards compatible game you'll download the digital version. You just need to always keep the disc, cause you'll need it to access the game each time you launch it.

    Also Fast Start might apply to some backwards compatible games, but I'm not sure.

    Hi,

    You will need to know if those game are backwards compatible. Also, are you getting any type of error messages, etc... You will need to provide more details for anyone to be able to help.
    4 of the 5 games are compatible according to the list.

    The error message is ‘ The game couldn’t start. Try downloading the game again.

    Backwards compatibility

    Hi, when you put in the disc are you connected to internet? Because to play backwards compatible games you will need to download the compatible version in order to play the game, the download should start after you have inserted the disc.
