Xbox 360 backwards compatible games won't start on Xbox one s

LastArtifact751 · Jun 9, 2018

Hello, I have an xbox one s but wanna play my 360 games on it such as red dead redemption and left 4 dead 2. Both of these games should be backwards compatible (it says so on the list) but when I put them in to play them is says "this game isn't playable
here. For a list of xbox 360 games playable on Xbox one, go to xbox.com/backcompat. (0x8082000c). On the list of games it says these are playable. How can I get them to play?

Thanks

:)

My 360 games are NOT working on my Xbox one

Hi

When I put my Xbox 360 game into my Xbox one S console (it's backwards compatible) it's a new console only 2 weeks old, it won't start or even play. It just keeps coming up "Please check the backwards compatible list".

What is going on with it!!!

Does xbox one s allow you to play xbox 360 games online multiplayer

As an owner of an xbox one s I do play xbox 360 games with backwards compatibility. The simplest way to explain how it does this is this: the xbox one essentially opens up the xbox 360 software to be able to play the games that are backwards compatible.
This means that you can play with people that are playing on xbox 360 using an xbox one or one s. For a list of backwards compatible games click Available games

Have you ever been prompted to do an update when doing a backwards compat update? Also, is it just these games?

No, I haven't been prompted to do an update at all when I put any 360 games in at all, and I don't think it's the games because they work fine on my 360.

If the game you purchase on the Xbox 360 is backward compatible, list here https://www.xbox.com/en-gb/games/backward-compatibility?cat=xbox360 then yes, the game will show up in your library on the Xbox Series S, and you will be able to download it at no extra cost to you. If the game is not backward compatible, then no, it won't work on the Xbox Series S.

If you look at the list on the link I gave you, you will find that Eternal Sonata is not backward compatible, so the only way you can play the game is by using an Xbox 360.

Hi,

The Xbox 360 version of State of Decay is not backwards compatible with the Xbox One, which is why it won't appear on your library. If you're still interested in this game you need to buy the Xbox One version.

If a 360 game is not on the Backwards compatible list you won't be able to play it on your Xbox One regardless of you owning the title.

The $29 one you saw is the Xbox One version of the game which is backwards compatible with the Series S/X. The 360 version is not backwards compatible.
