    Microsoft currency can't buy 360 games


    I've been trying to purchase a few Xbox 360 games from the Xbox store and it only allows credit card options despite having the Microsoft Xbox funds logged onto the account. What is the reasoning as to why I can't use Microsoft
    funds to purchase Xbox 360 games, but I can purchase Xbox one titles.

    :)

    TopAwesomePro,

    That is because you can't use your Microsoft currency on an Xbox One to buy Xbox 360 titles. To use your currency for Xbox 360 titles, you would need an Xbox 360 console.

    Hey there TIMEMAN2010,

    You can purchase games using currency on their respective consoles: You can use currency to buy Xbox 360 games ON the Xbox 360 just like you can buy Xbox One games ON the Xbox One, but you cannot purchase Xbox 360 games on an Xbox One using microsoft currency.

    Can't Buy Backwards Compatible Games with Your Microsoft Account Funds

    Hiya MrDarkling,

    Thank you for contacting Forum support.

    Due to the platform and programming behind how to work billing into the console, currently Microsoft Currency is not able to buy BWC (Backwards compatible ) games.

    On an Xbox one you may buy Xbox one games with Microsoft currency but not BWC games.

    Although, if you own an Xbox 360 you may launch the 360 and use said currency to purchase the BWC games/content, then launch them on the Xbox one.

    Hope this helps.

    Can't buy in game currency

    Hey there Twizted!

    I'm sorry to hear about the issue. Are you still having issues making in-game purchases? If so, you may want to reach out to your local
    phone/chat support teams for help. They can take a look at your account/billing status and make sure that everything is in order. We can't dig in too close because we're public facing.

    Good luck! :)
