    What would you pay for a game that is six years old? New sneaky Backwards compatibility ...


    Apparently Microsoft has had enough of gamers buying disc free backwards compatible titles as they have very sneakily raised the prices of said titles from 10-20$ to 35$ or more. And its amazing that they will charge this much for six years old titles like
    Spec Ops the line and The Darkness 2. Games that came out in 2012 for an overpriced markup! And who's idea was this? I literally buy every backwards compatible game that Microsoft puts out but now I'm choosing not to support this company anymore until they
    fix this issue and stop taking advantage of its fanbase! We are not just dollar signs. We support you so how about not trying to find ways to nickle and dime us.. The same ppl who stand by you through it all..

    Residente evil, you have to pay the same game su xbox one.. I will not.

    Absurd. The same game (same same same! date 2015) I did pay for 360 now I have to pay on my new XOne... Are we joking? Where's backward compatibility? It's really the same.. I have to pay another time? the same game!? Hey?! Capcom, microsoft, please... don't
    joke! It's not funny.. I WILL NEVER PAY TWO TIMES THE SAME GAME. I'm microsoft from years and years, I was a pupil. I did buy the ONE cause you promise backward compatibility for 360.. and now you put the game I have and.... What?

    Microsoft doesn't completely control the prices of digital games on the Store, the publisher does, in this case 2K Games. When you buy a digital game via the Xbox Store, Microsoft takes a cut - not sure what this is exactly, but it doubt it's more than
    30%, and the publisher takes the rest. And the U.S price is $29, not $35.

    It's also $29.99 for PC digital download on Steam.

    Bethesda, the publishers of Fallout 4 are having a sale on the Xbox Store at the moment, which is why Fallout 4 is cheaper than Spec Ops.

    Xbox Marketplace downloaded games

    Hey Phillip, this thread is over two years old. For future reference it would be better to create a new thread instead of bumping an older one.

    As for backwards compatible games, although backwards compatibility is coming to Xbox One this fall only the games that will be in the list will be available

    I Can´t download Sleeping Dogs on Web

    BigFan; please let me preface my response by letting you know that you should not bump an old thread (especially given that this thread is two years old), but rather you should start your own thread so that all responses can be tailored specifically to your
    support issue.

    With that said, not all 360 games are backwards compatible. You can view a list of what games are currently compatible here:

    www.xbox.com/.../backward-compatibility

    If the game you are trying to find on your Xbox One is listed on that page, please create a new thread detailing the issue and what game you are having issues getting on your Xbox One.

    Thanks!

    Bring Star Wars: TOR to Xbox One!

    Yeah exactly, I don't get why people are chiming in to talk about backwards compatibility. The Old Republic would be a 'new' title on Xbox One if they released it, not a backwards compatible one. It would be nice to see them add it to the Xbox One's roster
    of games, especially since we're seeing Phantasy Star Online hit the console next year, but I feel like it's a little late in the game for that.
