Bioshock Infinite is not being recognized as compatible

Everything is working on my Xbox One, it recognizes all the Xbox One game discs I put in, and other Backwards Compatible 360 games, however, when I put in the disc for Bioshock Infinite, it says that the game is not compatible with Xbox One, despite it being
on the list for backwards compatible games. Not quite sure what to do.

backwards compatibility of xbox 360 games on xbox one on disc

I got loads of xbox 360 games on cd rom disc and they are not working for backwards compatibility even though these games are on the official list of backwards compatible games. What is wrong? I read online that xbox 360 games on disc are also supposed
to be backwards compatible with xbox one.

Hey there,

Are you able to try other Backward Compatible Xbox 360 discs on your Xbox One to see if this occurs with that one disc or with multiple discs? If the issue only occurs with that one disc, check for scratches and attempt to wipe the disc down with a micro
fiber cloth. If the issue continues, that disc may need to be replaced.

Hope this helps!

The compatibility for discs and games only works backwards, not forwards. Xbox One discs can be played on the Xbox One, Xbox 360 discs (being the older console) can be played on the Xbox One and the Xbox 360, Xbox discs (being the oldest console) can be
played on all three consoles. The Xbox One is currently the newest console that is out, and therefore, its games only works on its system.

You can view the full list of older games that work on the Xbox One here: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

Past that, you'll have to get the right disc to play on the Xbox 360... it should say Xbox 360 on the case and the disc for the game.

Hi there,

you can Not move any 360 games from a xbox 360 to a Xbox One S.

The only option that works if that the 360 games are backwards compatible and you own the 360 games digitally or on disc, that will allow you to Download the 360 games on your Xbox One console.

See this link for the FAQ regarding Backwards compatibility:

That game is not backwards compatible so it will not work with the Xbox One.

But it is under Xbox 360 games on My Games page on the xbox.com site. And the FAQ says that if the game is there it backward compatible with my console.

If the game is a 360 game that you're playing on the Xbox one as backwards compatible yes, If its's an Xbox one disc or digital purchase then no since they only work on the Xbox one console.

As the others already stated, make sure that the Xbox 360 game disc you're inserting is actually backwards compatible, as not all Xbox 360 games are playable on the One yet!

For a
list of backwards compatible Xbox 360 titles check this list here. If the game is not on the list, it won't work on the One.

Since the Xbox 360 game discs are based on the DVD format, try to play a DVD movie disc on your console. If the movie DVD disc isn't recognized either, it might be that the red laser of your Xbox One console is defective, and the drive has to be serviced.
In that case, sign up your console for repair at
