    Purchase Backwards Compatible content with Microsoft Money on X Box One


    Why can you not purchase backwards compatible content on your XBox one with money on my Microsoft account. You can do it with XBox one content, but the only way to purchase 360 content is with a card. Whats up with this. It doesn't make sense.

    :)

    Could anyone help me?

    To purchase backwards compatible games on the One, you would need to use either a credit card or Paypal. Your Microsoft account balance can only be used to purchase One content on the One.

    Purchase Backwards Compatible content with Microsoft Money on X Box One

    MadCyclist70029,

    It has been this way since the currency changeover in 2013. When Xbox closed the book on Microsoft Point and turned it into Microsoft Currency, the Xbox.com store then required a credit/debit card or paypal payment option. Since the Xbox One uses the Xbox.com
    marketplace to purchase backwards compatible content, you will need to use a valid payment method. You can always head over to xbox.uservoice.com and vote for this to possibly change in the future.

    I bought a Xbox Gift Card and for some reason my Xbox One isn't letting me choose my Microsoft Store Account to buy games

    Are you trying to buy One games or backwards compatible games? The Microsoft account balance cannot be used to purchase backwards compatible content on the One.

    How to buy Oblivion for xbox one x ?

    The One store/website have never been updated to work with the currency system for backwards compatible content. The only way to purchase backwards compatible games with the funds on your account is through a 360 console.

    Oblivion is backwards compatible so it will work on the One X. You can view a list of backwards compatible games at https://www.xbox.com/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

    Xbox 360 S not playing original xbox game

    I read up online that the backwards compatible games that work on the X box 1S when I tried the ones from 360s that were backward compatible they didn’t work so I ended up purchasing them on digital copy

    Why can't we buy the orange box from the microsoft marketplace for xbox one x ?

    Hello The_lonium,

    Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. I understand you are attempting to purchase Orange Box for your Xbox One X. There may be a few reasons why a purchase is not being processed, but this game does not look as though it is backwards compatible for the Xbox. This may be the cause of the purchase not going through for you. For a full list of titles that would be compatible for your Xbox One X, please view Xbox Backward Compatible Games.

    Hope this helps!
