Is Xbox 360 still backwards compatible without support?

Hello!

My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

Trevor, yes some original xbox games still work on xbox 360.

You can check the official list of games, by the link below

I remain at your disposal if you have any further questions.

You can, but it relies on a sector of an official Microsoft Xbox 360 hard drive remaining uncorrupted, which is something that happens quite often. There’s nothing that can be done to repair it once it’s broken it’s broken forever so if the game doesn’t work on an Xbox 360 and it’s on the list, just figure your hard drive is corrupted. You’re much better off finding an original Xbox.

Hi there,

not all Xbox 360 games are backwards compatible, but there are quite a few that will work on the Xbox One console.

See this link for all details and what games are supported (the library is still growing):

Yes, the Xbox 360 still supports backward compatibility of original xbox titles. Check the list here for what is available

Why is backwards compatibility such a huge issue for some people?

- The backwards compatibility of the Xbox 360 with the Xbox was extremely limited, some consoles didn't even have it.

- The backwards compatibility of the PS3 with PS2 was for launch consoles and became non-existent within 6 months of launch.

- The cost of adding backwards compatibility to the Xbox One would be offset by an even higher price tag, estimating between $75 to $150 per console.

- The durability, heat, and size of the console is reduced by not having to bother with hardware backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360, software backwards compatibility was disappointing and would have still increased the cost of the console to offset
the development time into creating it, if it was at all possible.



Fact of the matter is: The Xbox One is a better, cheaper, more reliable console without backwards compatibility, Essentially, don't buy an Xbox One until there are Xbox One Games that you want. Keep your Xbox 360 for your existing Xbox 360 games.
