  1. Why can't I install my purchase on my xbox 360?


    I purchased two original Xbox games, Psychonauts and Sid Meier's Pirates, using my Series X. However, for some reason, I cannot install them on my Xbox 360. All of the other Xbox 360 games I purchased on my Series X can be installed on my 360 and I'm also able to install the original Xbox game Thrillville, which I also purchased through my Series X, on my 360.

    Mainly, I am installing the 360 and original Xbox games on my 360 console to save space on my series X, keeping just the Xbox One and Series X|S games on my newer console.

    Does anyone know the reason why these two games are the only ones I cannot install of my 360? Every time I access the game card, it asks me to purchase the games, which I already have through my Series X.

    :)

    Hi MichaelOcheskey,

    We just got a response from our internal team.

    And these are the information they have provided: Note Most backward compatible Original Xbox games can be played on Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. However, some backward compatible Original Xbox games are only available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles and won’t play on Xbox 360.

    Also you need to keep in mind. If you’re not able to play a game on the following list, try updating your console software.

    Hope this helps,

    Why can't I install my purchase on my xbox 360?

    Yes, I have verified that I am signed into the same account. As far as I'm aware, I only have a single account for my Xbox. I have multiple outlook.com emails, but only one is associated with my microsoft products like Xbox, Office, etc. I also only have one username/gamertag for the Xbox account. Most of the games, when I go to the store through Xbox 360, already have the text listed on the screen, "Already downloaded, download again." I would click this link and it would let me install the game I purchased on my Series X on my 360.

    The only two games I have that aren't allowing me to download and are requesting I pay to install them on my 360 are Psychonauts and Sid Meier's Pirates.
