Xbox one not installing compatible 360 game

WG Snipes · Nov 29, 2017

Xbox 360 Cod Ghosts won't install on my Xbox One.

It installs & plays on the other Xbox one, but not mine. It plays & installs other Xbox 360 compatible games but not cod ghosts.

It's not the disc because we have 2, & it installs on the other Xbox one.

Have hard reset & also tried putting the Xbox in offline then one mode & it still doesn't try to install.

On the Microsoft store it just says launch game, but when you press that it takes you back to the ghosts Microsoft store page

Someone please help!

:)

Question about backing up games?

Game "backups" are a legal grey area. Closest thing to the 360, is installing games. I'm not sure if the Xbox One supports installing games, but, backwards compatible 360 titles, are downloaded to your console, and need the disc to just boot up the title.

Left 4 Dead

I just bought a left 4 dead 360 disk and tried installing it on my xbox one but the console keeps saying that left 4 dead is not backwards compatible

Hey there,

Is it possible that a different account that owns the game? Are you able to locate the game purchase on your
Microsoft Commerce page while signed into the account you're posting from? If you happen to have a different account set as the Home for that first Xbox One console you mentioned, that would explain
the issue you're encountering.

Let us know if you are able to see the original purchase on that commerce page!

First off, there is no Xbox 2. there is Xbox, Xbox 360 & Xbox One. Xbox One games will not work on the Xbox 360. Games marked Xbox will work on the Xbox 360 only if they are backward compatible, and your Xbox 360 has an official Xbox 360 hard drive installed
in the console. Full list of compatible games here https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/games/backward-compatibility/play-original-xbox-games-on-xbox-360

Exactly which xbox 360 games are you trying to play on the xbox one. Because not all xbox 360 games are compatibile on the xbox one. It would have to be on the xbox one backwards compatibility list which is here:

www.xbox.com/.../available-games

If it is on that list then when you put the xbox 360 game in go to the 'my games & apps' application on the xbox one.

Then scroll ALL the way to the right. From there you should have a 'Ready to install' list which should include the game disc you have inserted. Click 'A' on it and select 'Install'

This will then download a copy of the game that is compatible with the backwards compatibility on the xbox one

Hi, if you own any xbox 360 game that is backward compatible (full list here
www.xbox.com/.../backward-compatibility), then you just log into xbox live on the xbox one with the same account you use on the xbox 360, and your games if bought digitally will show in your ready to install section, ready for you to install. If you have
a game on disk, then just insert the disk and install the game. If you have games that are not backwards compatible, then they might become compatible in the future, as they are adding new back compat games each month. Some Xbox 360 games will never be compatible,
those games may have an xbox one version, which if you want to play them, then you will have to purchase them again.

I hope I have answered some or all the question, happy gaming!

When on the Xbox One you go to My Games and Apps and the 360 games will be in the Ready to Install section if they are compatible.

Greetings,

you can use only the 360 games that are part of the backward compatibility with xbox one. You can find the ever expanding list here:

www.xbox.com/.../available-games

All the downloaded 360 games you own will be found in the games and app section of Xbox One ready to be installed. For the disc based games you have to use the disc in order to install the 360 games for Xbox One.
