    I can't play my Xbox 360 games on my Xbox Series X


    What's the issue?
    I can't sign into my Xbox 360 account to play Xbox 360 games and save the data to my Xbox Series X console. The specific game I am trying to play right now is Oblivion.

    What did I expect to happen?

    A successful sign in my Xbox 360 Account upon trying to play Oblivion. This would allow me to save data in game as well.

    What actually happened?

    When I tried to sign in, my Xbox told me that my account was invalid. It still allowed me to play, though, so I did. When I first tried to save I again tried to save against my 360 account. Again, this failed. So I saved the data against my brother's 360 account instead. My brother's account is signed in on my Xbox.

    Why do I think this happened?
    I changed my Xbox Live name a while back before I had ever played a 360 game on this console. Xbox Series X games work fine with the new name, but Xbox 360 games don't seem to register my name change. 360 games are still trying to sign me into a 360 account under my old Live name. My personal guess of what's happening is that when I changed my Live name it also changed my 360 account name. But 360 games aren't picking up on this change and so it fails upon sign in.

    Potential Solutions?
    I have many:

    1. Allow me to update the 360 Account associated to my Series X Xbox. Something native to my Xbox would be great, but doing this from my computer would be fine to.
    2. Get Xbox Support to fix the account associated to my Series X Xbox.
    What do I need?

    I need the information or means to carry out either 1 or 2 from potential solutions. That, or I need a new potential solution. But I can't find 1 anywhere and it seems that Microsoft made it impossible to get a real human for support on Xbox.

    Please help me. I've wasted so much time on this. I just want to play games from my childhood.

    :)

    80151912 can’t connect to Xbox live

    I have the same problem, I can't connect to Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 games (on my xbox serie x) since few days 🤔 I precise I don't have any problem on the Xbox serie X games, I have that only on the Xbox 360 games.

    My internet is perfect too (I live in Belgium)

    Why does my xbox series x shut down everytime I try to play the matrix demo .

    Well if the xbox series x can't handle it I might switch systems maybe xbox themselves can update the series x to support it all I know is that its purpose hasn't been served if the purpose was disappointment then yes it has but I suggest making the quality of the xbox console better I can still play demos on my xbox 360 even now so maybe make the xbox series x just as good a demo should be able to work on such a powerful system if it doesn't work then isn't that just a sign of what's to come ? If you want more people to buy a xbox maybe make it better then the xbox 360 games and all like I said I can still play demos on my xbox 360 so this shouldn't be a problem like 20 years later .. please make it work it's like I just wasted my internet gbs for this demo very disappointing that I can't play the game I just spent like 5 days trying to download

    Xbox telling me I have to remove a device to play a game

    Hi, Georges. Neither game mentioned above is listed as an XBox 360 game. I'm currently trying to play on my XBox One-X (my series X is going to have to go in for a warranty claim, as it's turning on, but not currently able to display a picture :( ).

    I believe that I had this happen with Spartan Runner on my Series X as well, and eventually I just gave up.

    Sonic and Knuckles on Xbox Series S

    I bought Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles back then on the Xbox 360. I played them on Xbox One X and even earlier this year on my Xbox Series X, Sonic 3 even supported HDR. However since Sega announced Sonic Origins these games were made unavailable and since then my games don't work on the Series X anymore. They do still work on the Xbox 360. I think this is unacceptable on Sega's part, as I paid for this game and thus should still be able to play it regardless of it not being in the store anymore.
