Xbox 360 game updates on Xbox One

Hi,

Xbox 360 backwards compatible games have been reverse engineered and converted to the play on the Xbox One platform. This is why, even if you own an Xbox 360 game on disc that is on the BC list, the Xbox One prompts you to download an update. In the case
of Xbox 360 disc games, the 'update' is the game. Due to the conversion, the download size of the game will be slightly different compared that on a 360 console. This normal.

So Minecraft on your Xbox 360 has not got the latest update. If the game needs an update, the Xbox 360 will check for one before the game starts and will ask you to update it or automatically do it (depending on your setting) if there is one available.

Hi Wasamith,

Thanks for your post! Do you mind clarifying which Xbox device you are using? Are you using Microsoft edge on the Xbox One? Or Internet Explorer on the Xbox 360?

Here's some information on updating on the Xbox consoles:

Update game or app on Xbox 360

Let us know how this goes, thanks again.

It has always been like that not unless there will be an update regarding in redeeming Xbox 360 games with gold on the website. Xbox 360 marketplace has a different structure than on Xbox One Store. Xbox 360 games with gold on the website will need a payment
method. In Xbox 360 console, you won't need one. Currently, you can't redeem Xbox 360 games with gold using Xbox One console and still under progress about redeeming Xbox 360 games with gold on Xbox One console. Either get the games using an Xbox 360 console,
or get the games on the website with a payment method.

....they should allow us as consumers to have access to the set of code they used for the emulator...

Xbox 360 and original Xbox games technically aren't being emulated. The games were reverse engineered to run on the Xbox One. They are, for all intents and purposes, Xbox One games running inside an Xbox 360/original Xbox virtual machine. They're not 'emulated' in the traditional sense.

This is why when you insert a BC 360 Xbox game, there is an update to download. This is not an update, it is the full game recoded to run on the Xbox One or Series X|S consoles.
