    Virtual Xbox 360 games from bought from marketplace. Yay or nay for Xbox one?

    You can play some Xbox 360 games on Xbox One through backwards compatibility. A full list of those games is here:
    www.xbox.com/.../backward-compatibility

    However, games for which there are both an Xbox One and Xbox 360 version are unlikely to ever be made backwards compatible, so if you wish to play that game on Xbox One you would need to purchase, either digitally or on disc, the Xbox One version of the
    game.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have further questions.

    No. You would still need to purchase a digital copy if you want it digitally.

    How can I play all games install game without disc?

    To install and play a game you own on Disc (even backwards compatible games on Xbox one) you need to insert the disc, install it and have it in the console the whole time you want to play it.

    This is different if you own the game digitally (not on disc).

    If you are talking about the game you own on disc but don't have, you will have to get the disc and insert it to play. There's no remote installing if you don't have the disc in and if you don't own the digital copy.

    ---------------------------

    If you own the game digitally and it's backwards compatible (or an Xbox one game) please go to My Games and Apps > Ready to Install and find your game and install it.

    If you own the game digitally on Xbox 360 please go to Settings > Account > Download history and download the game again.

    Backwards Compatibility

    As the list of backwards compatible games expand digital copies that you have purchased in the past will be added to your Ready to Install list. Disc based copies will need to be installed from the disc.

    Worst system yet

    Hi, you're wrong about having to purchase the games again if you already own backward compatible games (disc or digital), then you log in with the account you purchased the games with, then you can download them from your ready to install section of my games
    and apps. For any disc games that are compatible, just insert the disc and install the game like installing an xbox one game. For the full list of games that are compatible (they are some AAA games on the list) have a look here majornelson.com

    Xbox 1 console

    As mentioned by the others only a certain selection is currently backward compatible.

    If it is a digital copy that you have you can check under the Ready to install section of your game library.

    Disc copies of the backward compatible game, just put the disc in the console and it will download some software to be able to play the game.

    Can I access my Xbox 360 content on my new series s

    Anything you bought digitally should show under your Games and Apps as ready to install. If you own any of the games on disc, you would have to use the disc which is why they won't show on their own.

    Any games that are not showing, may not be backwards compatible. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backward-compatibility
