    Question about the Xbox One and purchases from the arcade/games on demand


    First off I am sorry if this is a tired old question that keeps getting asked, but I've had a hard time finding a straight answer for some reason.

    So I own a 360 and have bought a lot of games for it via games on demand/the arcade. Now I know that the Xbox One wont play physical copies of 360 games...but what about digital copies you purchased? I heard that it will as long as it is a digital copy,
    but its likely that this is not the case (and I was given false info), thus I'm looking to verify if this is true or not?

    :)

    Digital Games sold in Retail Stores?

    I know it's been possible to purchase arcade games in that way before, but I'm not sure about full games on demand games. That also might be something that comes from the developers themselves and not Microsoft.

    Problem being that any Games on Demand or Arcade games are exempt from being titles that reward points. Question is will this carry over to the Xbox One and the digital games? If so, they're working against the digital framework they're trying to create.

    Sorry mate, but no it won't.

    This is why alot of people still own a 360 too.

    Yeah just keep your 360 buddy. If you haven't got much room, do what I do and just stand your 360 vertically behind your tv.

  8. Question about the Xbox One and purchases from the arcade/games on demand

    The good news is that a lot of the games on the 360 are making the transition to the new console, so if you'd like, you can get those on the new console, but the bad news sadly, is that it's not without cost - you'll have to effectively rebuy them. :|
