    Xbox Backwards Compatibility Purchasing


    When I go to buy a game that’s Xbox One Backwards Compatible on my Xbox One Console, I get an error message that tells me I can’t make this type of purchase on Xbox.com and that I must do it on the console.

    The issue is that same message appears when I’m trying to make the purchase on my console.

    How can I fix this?

    :)

    Sonic demo isn't working?

    Hey there freakyboy86,

    Backwards Compatibility only works for full titles that are available on the backwards compatibility list. Game Demos are not included in the backwards compatibility feature. If you want to try a specific Xbox 360 game out before purchasing and downloading,
    you will need to download the demo on an actual Xbox 360 console.

    Happy Gaming!

    ~Blitz

    Xbox Backwards Compatibility Purchasing

    That message usually comes up for 1 of 2 reasons. If you're on a child account you would need to make the purchase from a 360 console. Otherwise, make sure you have a credit card or Paypal on file in order to make the purchase.

    If the Xbox 360 games you purchased are backwards compatible on Xbox One you will be able to play them.

    backwards compatibility issue

    Hi there,

    any content that is backwards compatible and purchased digitally with your Xbox Live Account should be visible in the Ready to Install section on the Xbox One.

    If the game was purchased with a different account, then that account will be required to download the game. See this link for more questions and answers regarding Backward compatibility:

    How to buy Oblivion for xbox one x ?

    The One store/website have never been updated to work with the currency system for backwards compatible content. The only way to purchase backwards compatible games with the funds on your account is through a 360 console.

    Oblivion is backwards compatible so it will work on the One X. You can view a list of backwards compatible games at https://www.xbox.com/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

    If you're on a Xbox One console, and are trying to purchase the game it would say whether or not you can under backwards compatibility. If the option isn't there, it's not backwards compatible but you can also check here: https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-one/backward-compatibility
