  1. Xbox Series X Back Compat


    Hello! I just got the new Xbox series X and I’m a little fuzzy on the details of backwards compatibility. I know that the new console plays games off any external drive as long as I know they are not specifically optimized for series X or are only playable on series X. My question is does the Xbox series X enhance backwards compatible games when playing them off of the hard drive or does it have to be installed onto the console? Basically what I’m asking is if I play a game like the Jedi: fallen order Will I get the same series X experience playing it off of the hard drive externally versus having it installed internally?

    :)

    Question about Orange box

    And, if it were not backwards compatible, you might have to wait until the release of Xbox Series X, as they have said they have stopped working on bringing Backwards Compatible titles to Xbox One until the Series X launch to get Backwards Compatibility
    up and running on the Series X. Form there, I imagine they will move back to bringing titles to both Series X and Xbox One for a few more years.

    Backwards compatibility

    Unfortunately, there are no more backward compatibility developments for Xbox One. The team responsible for the feature is now working on implementing it on Xbox Series X, being launched later this year. It is believed - but not yet confirmed - that the
    back-compatibility feature on Series X will permit any game from any previous Xbox generation to be played on the console natively. We should hear more in the coming months, but if it's currently back-compatible on Xbox One, it will be on Xbox Series X.

    Xbox Live Arcade games/subscription

    While back-compatibility on Xbox One is pretty well set at this point, the plans for Xbox Series X aren't fully established yet. There are unconfirmed rumors that suggest that Series X's back-compat will be very extensive … to the point where the console
    would be able to play any OG Xbox, Xbox 360 or Xbox One title available, even if it's not on the current

    Xbox One back-compat list
    . If that rumor is true, that would mean that any such game would work natively, as if Series X was that console.

    Bring Gotham City Imposters to Backward Compatibility

    The backwards compatibility team is working on the Series X so there won't be anymore games from the 360/original Xbox made back compatible until after the Series X launch.

    That said, I would love to see Gotham City Impostors made playable on the Series X. That game was so much fun!

    2020 and the blur multiplayer servers are still up

    Currently the Xbox Backward Compatibility program is on hold due to the teams working on the development of the Xbox Series X. There has been no news on when or if the Back Compat program will be coming back.
