Why won’t my Xbox one play 360 disks?

Dalton Fletcher · Jun 6, 2023

Why won’t my Xbox one play or even register that I put in a physical copy of a 360 game that is backwards compatible, and it’s not just one game it’s all of the games I try from the 360 on disk, what should I do?

Please try playing a DVD movie, not Blu-ray or 4k

Hey madman287,

You can play any back-compatible Xbox 360 game on the Xbox One with a person playing the same game on the 360, so long as the person on the Xbox One is playing using a 360 disk. Press the View and Menu buttons together to bring
up the Xbox 360 menu (On the X1), and create the party there. It won’t allow cross-console party creation, and you need to create an Xbox 360 party, even if both people are playing on an Xbox One on a back-compatible game.

My Xbox one won't play my 360 Lego pirates of the Caribbean even though that is on the list of backwards compatible games. Why doesn't it work?what can I do?

Clean your disk and make sure there are no scratches on the disk itself

Why does my Xbox series x 87 days old not play any disc whatsoever ?? Won’t play Xbox one game Xbox 360 dvd or Blu-ray won’t play anything it’s the 5th Xbox on the spin to do this ? What’s going on with these crappy drives and power mode ( Microsoft won’t admit there’s a massive problem with their disc drives ! That’s facts

YouTube has like 50 videos of people not being able to play a game they own on disc I think I’ll get full refund and buy PS5 no way will a Sony product not read discs
