I think the 2 biggest Pros of backwards comparibility are A) You don’t need to buy original hardware to play older games now, which saves a ton of money B) It saves space- not everybody has room in their setup for all of the different consoles, so having just 1 that plays all of your games is great
100% ! How great is it to play so many "extra" titles on one system? Plus as many of the stickers show on these games they can be really cheap to grab used 👍
If you do end up getting an Xbox Series S/X or whichever you get, and if it’s mainly for the backwards compatibility I recommend these titles if you haven’t played them. Original Xbox: SSX3, TimeSplitter 1&2, Jade Empire, Max Payne 1&2, Psychonaunts, Star Wars battlefront 2, Star Wars republic commando, Conker Live and reloaded and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction Now the Xbox 360 games I recommend Xbox 360: Portal 1&2, Mirror’s Edge, Binary Domain, Asura’s Wrath, Vanquish, Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, Skate 3, Mini Ninjas, Toy Story 3, Fable Anniversary. There’s waaaaay more games than that, but it really depends on what types of games you like, but out of all the games I listed.. you should definitely give Asura’s Wrath a try, it’s honestly the most fun I had in a while with a video game.
This is genuine fan service from Microsoft here! Its great to see all the passive upgrades these games get from better hardware. Regardless of what they said, I feel like they'll start up the BC program again, but are just taking a respite in the mean time while ironing out any licensing issues.
@@SvennyMcG I really want them to put Singularity on backwards compatibility it is a great game, but it would be huge + for adding it on game pass and if it was possible to make it have 60fps boost
I absolutely love that they upgraded some titles with resolution and frame rate updates. Here's hoping they add more sometime in the future, including Singularity 👍 Thanks for watching
I use BC all the time. The Mortal Kombat 9 is a particular surprise that it got added. Love the hell out of BC. Grateful someone at Microsoft knew the value of keeping older titles we love alive with this program. I would hope all the games on the current list find their way into people's collections and never end up in dumpsters.
@@SvennyMcG i second that!! never let the list end! until every game (I love) is playable on current gen and from here on. i will hang on to my OG Xbox anyways. its disc tray and hdd noises still comfort me.
I wish backwards compatibility wasn’t that restricted , If you have the disc or digital game from previous generations you should be able to play it without problems
I agree, I wish it wasn't so throttled. Some point to the emulators of previous consoles, some to the licensing costs to reissue the game on the digital store, and also the extra work Xbox is putting in to update or optimize the games for the new consoles. Regardless, I'd definitely like to see more backward compatibility too 👍 Thanks for watching
I actually really like the backwards compatibility but I would have liked to have seen more games here but there's plenty here for both 360 and oringnal xbox titles. I also like the improved framerate and visuals on the xbox one. It's also a lot less loud with its fan unlike the 360s and you have to worry about your discs getting scratched lol. I have 29 360 discs and 11 original xbox playable in total. I loved playing Ssx3 and dead or alive 1 2 and 3 on it. They look and sound great!
I think it's AMAZING the number of backwards compatible games made available- but of course, I'd love to see more 😊 You're right though, the upgrades on games like Crimson Skies etc simply look fantastic, it's incredible they not only ported but upgraded many of these games 🙌
If It was up to the backwards compatibility team at xbox every single game would be on there. There's games out there that they've been trying for years to get on the program but so many games are stuck in licensing limbo or companies want to re-release games themselves and charge full price.
Thank you for the detailed no nonsense presentation. I just purchased an XBOX ONE, I have been a huge fan of 360, and original XBOX. I just started RE 7 and I am quite impressed. Thank you for your service sir, I’m an instant subscriber!
Thank you for watching and for your support! The Xbox One is fantastic and the backwards compatibility is an awesome option to have. If you ever decide on Xbox Game Pass make sure you check out my video on converting Xbox Live Gold as you'll save some money too 👍
Oh man love the video about the backwards compatible program. Bought my series X last year and i’m really interested in trying out these games from the original Xbox and Xbox 360 which some of them i haven’t played it yet back then. Here’s hoping that Xbox/Microsoft will continue the BC Program in the future so i can Play these older titles 😄
Thanks for watching! Not sure if I'm misreading your comment but to confirm the games shown you can still play with backwards compatibility 👍 At this time Microsoft just isn't adding any other titles. The current list of 80+ Xbox and 600+ Xbox 360 titles are still active 😊
I truly believe that Microsoft will do the backwards compatibility program again. Because let’s face it after Starfield and many other of those game pass offerings, what does Microsoft have left? I’d rather have them do more backwards compatibility than nothing at all. And the games I would love to see become backwards compatible are as follows. Sonic heroes Shadow the hedgehog Sonic mega collection plus Sonic riders Sonic the hedgehog 2006 SSX tricky NBA street,1 or 2 Burnout three Halo, combat evolved
I think so too, it will broaden the scope of playable games beyond Game Pass and make the console even more friendly to older games. Great suggestions for where to start! Sega has been playing well with Xbox for years. Thanks for watching 👍
Im a 90's and a broke boi from the scratch got 1 game a year and thats sad Now im a Adult have Time and Money and can run all the Games today with a xbox serie x and a 2.1hdmi tv now a days youre got a full setup. Now i keep up for all i miss in my younger Days. I said thanx big Thanx for Microsoft
One of the perks of growing up is finding the things you enjoy and spending money on them. Video games is definitely one of those things for me as well and having a console that plays multiple systems like the Xbox Series X is definitely a great way to enjoy so many titles over generations. Thank you, Microsoft, for sure! Thanks for watching 👍
The DLC isn't included with *all* games but it does come with a good handful of games such as the Star Wars Battlefront games, Borderlands etc. Wikipedia has a breakdown of the list of titles. Thanks for watching 😊
Yes, the only reason I repurchased an Xbox One a few years ago was because of backward compatibility and to play MLB The Show 21 when it came to Xbox One. I already owned a few old Xbox 360 games I couldn't play but kept because they were rare like NCAA Basketball 2009, so with another IP I liked but didn't have access to on PC in MLB The Show coming to Xbox One it was a no brainer. I own over 60 games on Xbox and over half of them are Xbox 360 titles I loved or just didn't get a chance to finish back then.
dope video! i may go ahead and repair my xbox one for now and wait to see what the series x ends up doing this year 👌🏽 i can still get some use outta the xbox one 🔥
Absolutely! The Xbox One is still a great console and we often use it alongside the Series X, especially when playing multiplayer games. And yeah, the backwards compatibility breathes a lot of life into it too 😊 👍 Thanks for watching!
I feel like both Nintendo & Sony need to take a pager from XBOX. Because I personally enjoy older games, more then I do newer ones. And I have been holding on to my PS2 and PS3 systems for a long time. The fact that XBOX Series X has an option to let players play older games is a huge positive in my book. Maybe in future I might get an XBOX Series X, because the console does seem like it's worth getting for gaming, weather it be new or older games.
I have a Series X but my boys still enjoy Game Pass on the Xbox One as well. Definitely love the backwards compatibility options on either console, and I agree it'd be nice to see more of this from all parties 👍
Good thing to mention and know! If you have a game that's backwards compatible and its heavily scratched. It wont matter as long as the console recognizes the disk it will download from the network and install it, it doesn't install it off the disk.
I would still personally prefer if a Hardware/Software Engineer works to finding a way to make the system fully capable of reading, identifying, and communicating with all the data on the disk while at the same time capable of upscaling it. Basically the best of both worlds so that way we won't always need a internet signal in order for it to be possible. Until we have a proper nickname for this technique, I'll just dub it Organic-Backwards-Compatibility.
Just on a side note @@SvennyMcG, how did Microsoft manage to make Windows XP backwards compatible with 95 and 98? I still remember using all 3 Operating Systems back in the day as a kid, and was pleased at how all our older PC titles prior to Vista or 7 we're able to run on our newer system to an extent.
Exactly! I believe it's doable to increase the backwards compatibility and Microsoft seems to be the one primarily focused on opening this up, hopefully Sony & Nintendo follow too 👍
That was an awesome announcement when Phil Spencer announced the backwards compatibility program 🙌 The fact that some games, even original Xbox games, were optimized is even better! Thanks for watching 👍
Here's a question though... If you popped in GTA San Andreas the Xbox Original version disc into the Xbox X what version are you goin' to get... The amazing normal version in all its nostalgic glory... Or the hidous mobile port 360/trilogy version?
hi great video! do you know if the original versions of Batman Arkham Asylum and City are backwards compatible via phisical media ? i have the Return to Arkham collection but i'd like to have the originals
Hi, thank you for watching! Unfortunately no, those particular titles are not listed BUT, Batman: Arkham Origins is, which is great because it's absent from that collection 👍
It installs from online - you need to keep the disc as a key to play it digitally but it will download from the store. Good news is that will include DLC for some games 👍
So it's really about the licensing of most OG XBOX games to be backwards compatible on XBOX series X? Is that correct? Because I wanted to play Def Jam Fight For NY, Sonic Heroes, NBA Street Vol. 2, 007 Agent Under Fire, & etc but doesn't work because we have to get the licensing permission from the company that made them. Is that correct?
@@zachross8081 Me too but it's the licensing thing from companies that's preventing it to happen. So we still have to go back to our original game consoles to play those. So unfortunate
Hello, so let me know if i get it straight. I want to buy an Xbox one X, this console is backward compatible with xbox 360 games ? Digitally/ from the store or phisically too, from dvd's ?
Select original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles are compatible with Xbox One, and some are even optimized / improved on the Xbox One X! I show quite a few of the titles available in this video that will play on the Xbox One X but there is an official list available on the Xbox site (it's in the video description) 👍
Does this mean you can only use the backwards compatibility if you are online to download from the Xbox store, to read from the disc etc to play them.I have the original Xbox & 360 & loads of games but didn't buy the last gen console but am thinking of getting a Xbox series X second hand.Dont play multi player so never been online/Xbox live.
Essentially yes, you'll need to connect to the internet to allow the backwards compatibility to function. You do *not* need a paid online membership though (Xbox Live, Game Pass etc) to take advantage of the backwards compatibility 👍
All PS5 games also supports PS4 games except for Afro-Samuari 2: Revenge of Kumi Vol. 1, TT Isle of Man Ride of the Edge 2, Just Deal With It, Robinson The Journey, Hitman Go: Definitive Edition and Shawden.
That's true! The PS4 oddly didn't have any backwards support 🤷♂️ Playstation definitely tried to remedy that to start by adding PS4 backwards compatibility 👍
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 🙏 I did look and unfortunately I don't have that title in my games library to test at this time but I'll keep an eye out for it 😊
Need for Speed Underground 2 looks to be compatible on Xbox 360 but that's it - I don't see any NFS games on the Xbox One or Xbox Series consoles as compatible with previous versions
Ultimate Spider-Man and NFS: Underground 2 will play on Xbox 360. I don't see any of those three titles on the backwards compatible list to play on the Xbox One or Series X.
No doubt! Over Christmas we grabbed a couple Sonic ports on the Switch (Forces, Racing, Mania) but it'd be nice to see those. A chum is selling Shadow the Hedgehog and I looked it up and was surprised at what it's going for these days
If backwards compatibility returns, here the list of games i want them to add Lollipop chainsaw The Simpsons: Hit & Run The Simpsons game (2007) Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse Street Fighter x Tekken Ultimate Spider-Man Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Spider-man: The Edge of Time X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Game) Ninja Blade
I think those other Xbox 360 games didn't have backwards compatibility on Xbox One. Clive Barker's Jericho Homefront Ninety-Nine Nights N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights II The Cursed Crusade Aliens: Colonial Marines Singularity The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Splatterhouse Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.
Unfortunately no, that was an oversight on my behalf. Since this video I have installed all of the games shown here EXCEPT that Virtua Fighter 5 Online; the compatible game is Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, an XBLA digital-only game. Apologies for this error
@@SvennyMcG no problem. Also, disc versions of foreign games work. I've installed the Japanese versions of Rumble Roses XX no problem, as well as other region games like Clannad, all the Steins:Gates, and even Panzer Elite Action Fields of Glory. Arcade Compilation Discs like XBLA Unplugged work too.
You know what's crazy is I picked up this title a few months ago and was mind-blown it wasn't on the backwards compatible list!! Like literally the only Star Wars Xbox title to not make it 🤔🤷♂️😔
@@SvennyMcG and don;t forget bethesda titles or maybe xbox exclusives games (Halo series, Mechassault series, Brute Force , Bloodwake & Fable original)
Right stupid quistion but im not sure should 360 backwards compatible disc based games work on a seies x or is it just digital reason i ask is i just bought splinter cell blacklist but the disc doesnt install?
No stupid questions, my friend! The disc will only act as a "key" to trigger the download from the Microsoft Store; in this case, if the install disc isn't triggering the download try inserting the game play disc. Thereafter, the game will fully install to your SSD and you will use the game disc only as a validation key to play it off the SSD. Blacklist is listed as compatible and apparently even Xbox enhanced!
Greetings sir. I am going to buy a new XBOX Series X. I wanted to know if these few games I listed here are backwards compatible or not. 1. Forza Horizon (XBOX 360 Disc) 2. Forza Horizon 3 (XBOX One Disc) 3. Forza Horizon 4 (XBOX One Disc) 4. Forza Horizon 5 (Series X/Windows 10 Compatible)
Hello, my friend! Yes, Forza Horizon for 360 is listed as a backwards compatible game 😊 The Xbox One and Series titles you listed will all be compatible as well so you're all set! Lots of racing ahead for you, enjoy! 🙌
I just need Brute Force & Mech-assault 1 & 2. With upgrades. What I don't understand is Microsoft own these rights back then, they should’ve been first on the BC program.
It's actually stupid how Microsoft has to pay these Publishers again so that way they can put the same game but on a different console I can see why oxbox doesn't do it anymore personally I don't think it's a form of emulation if you're improving things but putting it on an upgraded version of the console technically to me since it is the same company making the console technically they are still in an agreement with each other that Xbox can use the games on their console and the publisher can get money from the games
I agree, I think it's crazy how difficult it is to re-license games especially if the franchises are done. In some cases the backwards compatibility games are upgraded but ultimately wish the list was bigger
I don't see Scarface on the backwards compatibility list. The Xbox 360 does have a solid backwards compatibility with the original Xbox but the list isn't the same on today's consoles unfortunately
I saw fallout 3 in your list, yet didn't see fallout New Vegas, please tell me if this is compatible or not. I wouldn't want to purchase an entire system for nothing.
Fallout: New Vegas is indeed included 👍 I may not have had a copy for 360 at the time of recording. I also read that if you have the "Ultimate Edition" of the game that all DLC will run too. Enjoy!
I feel like they should have not stop making Xbox one backwards compatibility games for Xbox one because they are still Xbox 360 games that are not accounted for like UFC undisputed 2 WWE 13 and WWE 12 dead Island rip tired x- men destiny fry cry 4 limited edition UFC 2009 undisputed UFC 2010 undisputed so on and so on
I hear you! And now that they are scooping up Activision they should have no issue securing licenses to any of their properties either. Love to Xbox pick up the backwards compatibility again and keep it going 👍
Great question! There's a few Xbox Live Arcade titles and some physical titles too: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Sonic & Knuckles Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 Sonic CD Sonic Generations Sonic the Fighters Sonic The Hedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode I Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II Sonic Unleashed
So on xbox one xbox 360 games cannot be pop in xbox one and expect it to run like 360??? Let me get this right you have to be online with xbox one to download xbox 360 game? And then you have to be online to continuously to play game?
I'm not sure about having to stay online to play but yes, you'll need to be online when you first pop the disc in. Some games will run like 360 while others are improved or optimized
Do i need to be connected to the internet to use backwards compatibility? I live in rural area i don't have internet. Would be nice if it works right out the box
Yes, you'll need to connect to the internet to download the copy of the backwards compatible game to your console. After that, the disc just acts as a validation key - I'm sure this means it still needs to validate it on the internet as well but it's momentary if you have spotty internet connection
I live in the UK and Raiden iv was never released here on the 360; I purchased a copy from America but won't be able to play it on my pal machine. I would love to see some of those shmups released on game pass as they weren't released here either.
I wasn't aware it wasn't available in your region! I'm sorry to hear it didn't play on your console 😔 If backwards compatibility was available, here's hoping it does indeed make its way to Game Pass! I alwayd love a good shmup too 😊 Thanks for watching
The game was licensed to play on the Xbox 360; making it available on other hardware requires a new license. That's my understanding of it. To make the games playable on the new hardware they have to be downloaded from the Microsoft Store but more than just digital games they are running as they did on Xbox & Xbox 360
👏👏👏 absolutely, big holes right there. I'm guessing they excluded them because of The Master Chief Collection but they should have still included them in disc-based backwards compatibility
Back in the day, I used to be a huge fan of PlayStation because of backwards compatibility that was awesome but no because of the lack of backwards compatibility with PlayStation these days is the reason why I made the switch to Xbox backwards compatibility on Xbox isn’t perfect, but it’s far better than what PlayStation is doing. Backwards compatibility and another reason is for Xbox game pass as a customer. I think Xbox game pass it’s just a far better package deal a lot of the games on. There are Xbox 360 games and there’s a few original Xbox games on there as well. Sure the PlayStation five has more exclusives now But I don’t find any of them that interesting except for like maybe Spider-Man or horizons but there’s lots more games that are available on Xbox either through Xbox game pass or is an Xbox exclusive that I am more interested in even with the previous generation console game libraries combined the Xbox, simply just offers more of what I want
By the way, this video came out awhile ago, but since then backwards compatibility has just gotten more support now I don’t know even Microsoft said they’re pulling the plug on it maybe they are maybe they’re not or maybe they backtracked on that decision and backwards compatibility as for right now it’s better than ever on Xbox and it seems like for now it’s here to staythey seem to be embracing it. With that being said backwards, compatibility to original Xbox games seems to be somewhat limited for me. You might still want to either hold onto your old original Xbox if you already have one or why not go out and get one anyway if you want to play all these old original games. If it saves you a little bit of money, you could get I’m not kidding you are PlayStation two and the reason why is because the PlayStation two has about 90% of the same library as the Xbox in fact, the PlayStation two might be a little bit better because you would still get access to Xbox exclusive games, most likely as a desert old download on your modern Xbox And the PlayStation two open the door to PlayStation exclusive games that the PlayStation two had and this is what I do an Xbox series X combined with a PlayStation two. PlayStation two console will give you 9% of all the games that the original Xbox had plus PlayStation one games. The PlayStation two. Just gives you more stuff
Thanks for watching! Great insights! Xbox definitely has had more support this generation than the PS5 and with Game Pass (and Ultimate even including EA Play) there are a lot of options. I hope they do explore more backwards compatibility games in the future, especially with the Activision Blizzard acquisition. If you're looking for more original Xbox support I also suggest getting an Xbox 360, they're usually cheap and they too support a lot of the original Xbox library (not all, but a lot!).
@@SvennyMcG am gonna.. PASS on the 360. Because I already own a few consoles, and I’m actually trying to get rid of some. The only reason I would get an Xbox 360 is if as a streamer, I have a demand for a game that my Xbox series X cannot play. actually homebrew get an Xbox 360 that has some homebrew on it, so it can play PlayStation games as well
The Series S has the same allowances to play most of these games by purchasing them from the Microsoft Store; the obvious difference here is while compatible you do not have access to your physical discs as there isn't a disc drive on the Series S. Some games, unfortunately, are disc only compatible and otherwise not for sale on the store.
@@SvennyMcG oh right I have the Xbox one s with the disc drive, some original x box games and some 360 games work I hope Microsoft add many more in the future
You are correct, it's the original Xbox One 😊 This also works on the Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. I have since upgraded to Series X: ua-cam.com/video/847mYJnLZQw/v-deo.html
@@SvennyMcG ok dude Thanks 👍. Iam Going to buy Xbox one Original which was released in 2013 for its Backwards Compatibility to play GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption 😅😀
Hello! Unfortunately, it looks like none of those NBA 2K titles made the backwards compatibility list 😕 The only NBA title I see compatible is NBA Jam: On Fire Edition from the XBLA store.
@@SvennyMcG thank you for your answer!i see that some of them (2k 16-17-18) are compatible with xbox one! Other way through xbox one maybe? Cloud or something else? Also I wonder if i put a original xbox one disk/game on series x ,if it is going to play?
Man looks at some of these gems for only 3$... bought doa 3 the other day, that game runs in 4k and looks better than most last gen titles. What i do know, in 10 years time when all is said and done and we have xbox series y or whatever and ps6, imagine a jailbroken xsx/ xbox one x playing EVERYTHING
Now that is a beautiful thought, more titles for backwards compatibility! It's amazing how well these titles play, especially the enhanced selections 👍
Agreed! The Lego LOTR game made it, however, even though EA did the LOTR franchise games I don't know how the licensing plays out. If they're added to EA Play the perhaps backward-compatibility will come with it too 👍
@@SvennyMcG I have the Og games that came out on xbox . i cant believe even the og Xbox game star wars obi-wan game isnt backward copat , any thoughts ?
That one escapes me - they made SO MANY Xbox Star Wars games available like KOTOR and Battlefront but Obi-Wan, an Xbox-Exclusive game, was not updated. If they brought it in now, with the Disney+ show now active, I think it would be played like crazy. Maybe EA Play will provide it one day 🤔
I really wish the Dragonball Z Budokai collection worked. I bought it assuming it would work on my series x, and to no surprise I ended up disappointed
2023 is this still possible I have the original Xbox one from 2013 (few first that came out) I’m trying to play BO2 on the XBOX one but not even the cd 💿 image pops up…
The backwards compatibility is still available and Black Ops 2 is on the list. I have the dame model of Xbox One and it works - do other discs work on your system? Does that disc work on a 360?
It would be better if it was fully backwards compatible with every Xbox game ever made instead of select titles.
Definitely! I think because the hardware wasn't included in it it becomes a licensing issue
That part… here I was hoping for games like Azurik, Nightcaster, Kung Fu Chaos, Brute Force, Unreal Championship 1 to be playable on the Series X/S
Yeah I agree thats what I bought it for
I'm always hopeful that they revisit the backwards compatibility option, especially once Activision is fully on board
Damn i was gonna buy it thinking this , that’s terrible …. Now I am not sure if it’s worth that
This was actually a smart move on Microsofts part this allows them to keep their fans happy and not spend alot of money.
Definitely an awesome move 🙌 Makes for a great library of games!
It was the deciding factor for me when deciding what console to get. If it wasn’t backwards compatible I honestly would’ve just bought a 360 again
I love that it not only supports games but in some cases enhances them too with better frame rates, free DLC etc 👍
I think the 2 biggest Pros of backwards comparibility are
A) You don’t need to buy original hardware to play older games now, which saves a ton of money
B) It saves space- not everybody has room in their setup for all of the different consoles, so having just 1 that plays all of your games is great
100% ! How great is it to play so many "extra" titles on one system? Plus as many of the stickers show on these games they can be really cheap to grab used 👍
@@SvennyMcG Yeah Sony get with the program.
Sony just announced the new PS Plus system today, hope they add more classic titles soon 👍
And you can still buy the original disc and own it.
In some cases buying used physical games is cheaper than their digital counterpart, so having both options available is always nice for the consumer 👍
I'm sold. I was debating between xbox and Playstation this backwards compatible won me over
Awesome! Both are great consoles but backwards compatibility and Game Pass Ultimate as options are excellent on Xbox 👍
If you do end up getting an Xbox Series S/X or whichever you get, and if it’s mainly for the backwards compatibility I recommend these titles if you haven’t played them.
Original Xbox: SSX3, TimeSplitter 1&2, Jade Empire, Max Payne 1&2, Psychonaunts, Star Wars battlefront 2, Star Wars republic commando, Conker Live and reloaded and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Now the Xbox 360 games I recommend
Xbox 360: Portal 1&2, Mirror’s Edge, Binary Domain, Asura’s Wrath, Vanquish, Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, Skate 3, Mini Ninjas, Toy Story 3, Fable Anniversary.
There’s waaaaay more games than that, but it really depends on what types of games you like, but out of all the games I listed.. you should definitely give Asura’s Wrath a try, it’s honestly the most fun I had in a while with a video game.

I truly believe that Microsoft will do the backwards compatibility program again. Because let’s face it after Starfield and many other of those game pass offerings, what does Microsoft have left? I’d rather have them do more backwards compatibility than nothing at all.
And the games I would love to see become backwards compatible are as follows.
Sonic heroes
Shadow the hedgehog
Sonic mega collection plus
Sonic riders
Sonic the hedgehog 2006
SSX tricky
NBA street,1 or 2
Burnout three
Halo, combat evolved
I think so too, it will broaden the scope of playable games beyond Game Pass and make the console even more friendly to older games. Great suggestions for where to start! Sega has been playing well with Xbox for years. Thanks for watching 👍
@@SvennyMcG you would think since it was sonics 30th anniversary last year they would’ve made those games backwards compatible by now.
Definitely! Sega would likely permit the backwards compatibility, it would just be up to Xbox to do the legwork to make it work
We definitely need NBA Street 🔥
Curious how difficult it may be to get the NBA license - but definitely be awesome to see it make the list 🏀
I also love this inclusion (BC), am now playing Castlevania lords of shadow for the 1'st time and loving the game. Awesome move from MS.
I think it was one of their best plays of the previous generation for sure 👍 Thanks for watching
Im a 90's and a broke boi from the scratch got 1 game a year and thats sad
Now im a Adult have Time and Money and can run all the Games today with a xbox serie x and a 2.1hdmi tv now a days youre got a full setup. Now i keep up for all i miss in my younger Days. I said thanx big Thanx for Microsoft
One of the perks of growing up is finding the things you enjoy and spending money on them. Video games is definitely one of those things for me as well and having a console that plays multiple systems like the Xbox Series X is definitely a great way to enjoy so many titles over generations. Thank you, Microsoft, for sure! Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the info, I didn’t realise you got the DLC included.
The DLC isn't included with *all* games but it does come with a good handful of games such as the Star Wars Battlefront games, Borderlands etc. Wikipedia has a breakdown of the list of titles. Thanks for watching 😊
Yes, the only reason I repurchased an Xbox One a few years ago was because of backward compatibility and to play MLB The Show 21 when it came to Xbox One. I already owned a few old Xbox 360 games I couldn't play but kept because they were rare like NCAA Basketball 2009, so with another IP I liked but didn't have access to on PC in MLB The Show coming to Xbox One it was a no brainer. I own over 60 games on Xbox and over half of them are Xbox 360 titles I loved or just didn't get a chance to finish back then.
It's such a great feature! The Xbox and Xbox 360 both had great libraries of games so it's awesome to see the titles still playable today 👍
The reason why I bought a Xbox Series X after being a sony playstation fan for so many years
Such an awesome feature for sure! 🙌
It would be cool to do a side by side comparison of the games to see how much better they look on the Xbox one s.
Definitely a cool idea, see what I can do in the future 👍
dope video! i may go ahead and repair my xbox one for now and wait to see what the series x ends up doing this year 👌🏽 i can still get some use outta the xbox one 🔥
Absolutely! The Xbox One is still a great console and we often use it alongside the Series X, especially when playing multiplayer games. And yeah, the backwards compatibility breathes a lot of life into it too 😊 👍 Thanks for watching!
still waiting for X-Men Legends 1 & 2 for backwards compatible?
I sure hope so too, absolute classics 🙌
I feel like both Nintendo & Sony need to take a pager from XBOX. Because I personally enjoy older games, more then I do newer ones. And I have been holding on to my PS2 and PS3 systems for a long time. The fact that XBOX Series X has an option to let players play older games is a huge positive in my book. Maybe in future I might get an XBOX Series X, because the console does seem like it's worth getting for gaming, weather it be new or older games.
I have a Series X but my boys still enjoy Game Pass on the Xbox One as well.
Definitely love the backwards compatibility options on either console, and I agree it'd be nice to see more of this from all parties 👍
Good thing to mention and know! If you have a game that's backwards compatible and its heavily scratched. It wont matter as long as the console recognizes the disk it will download from the network and install it, it doesn't install it off the disk.
You are absolutely correct! 😊👍 While I didn't mention it here, I did cover that in another video: ua-cam.com/video/--vSolPDTzQ/v-deo.html
It's amazing bro! Great collection 🎉
Thanks for watching 😊🙌
I would still personally prefer if a Hardware/Software Engineer works to finding a way to make the system fully capable of reading, identifying, and communicating with all the data on the disk while at the same time capable of upscaling it. Basically the best of both worlds so that way we won't always need a internet signal in order for it to be possible. Until we have a proper nickname for this technique, I'll just dub it Organic-Backwards-Compatibility.
I hear you. The ability to simply read the software over generations- much like software on a PC - is truly the ideal to strive for
Just on a side note @@SvennyMcG, how did Microsoft manage to make Windows XP backwards compatible with 95 and 98? I still remember using all 3 Operating Systems back in the day as a kid, and was pleased at how all our older PC titles prior to Vista or 7 we're able to run on our newer system to an extent.
Exactly! I believe it's doable to increase the backwards compatibility and Microsoft seems to be the one primarily focused on opening this up, hopefully Sony & Nintendo follow too 👍
You only need the internet once
@@HonkeyKong54 you don't need internet every time you start a backwards compatible game?
still waiting for more backwards compatible games?
🤞 Always hoping for a new announcement 🙏
we hope this year to see new backwards compatible games soon?
Now is the time! 🙏
Backward compatibility is the reason I chose MS in 2016 when I bought an XB1 rather than a PS4.
That was an awesome announcement when Phil Spencer announced the backwards compatibility program 🙌 The fact that some games, even original Xbox games, were optimized is even better! Thanks for watching 👍
Huge fan of backwards compatibility
Awesome! I'm working on a 2024 update so stay tuned 👍
we hope the backwards compatible program start up soon?
Soon please! 🙏
Here's a question though...
If you popped in GTA San Andreas the Xbox Original version disc into the Xbox X what version are you goin' to get...
The amazing normal version in all its nostalgic glory...
Or the hidous mobile port 360/trilogy version?
Unfortunately yes, it does direct you to the 360 port of the game 🎮
AMAZING VIDEO keep it up bro this is gold 🙏
🙌 thank you for watching! Appreciate your support
we like to see old Activision games for backwards compatible?
Absolutely!
for Christmas i got the Xbox Series X is all fix up good
So awesome! What's the first game you played?
hi great video! do you know if the original versions of Batman Arkham Asylum and City are backwards compatible via phisical media ? i have the Return to Arkham collection but i'd like to have the originals
Hi, thank you for watching! Unfortunately no, those particular titles are not listed BUT, Batman: Arkham Origins is, which is great because it's absent from that collection 👍
@@SvennyMcG thank you a lot for your reply, it's great to know at least arkham origins is compatible.
You bet! Happy to assist. There's definitely a solid library of backward-compatibility 😊👍
Just a question it installe by connexion or just the disc i mean offline?
It installs from online - you need to keep the disc as a key to play it digitally but it will download from the store. Good news is that will include DLC for some games 👍
So it's really about the licensing of most OG XBOX games to be backwards compatible on XBOX series X? Is that correct? Because I wanted to play Def Jam Fight For NY, Sonic Heroes, NBA Street Vol. 2, 007 Agent Under Fire, & etc but doesn't work because we have to get the licensing permission from the company that made them. Is that correct?
i really want to play more original xbox games on xbox one?
@@zachross8081 Me too but it's the licensing thing from companies that's preventing it to happen. So we still have to go back to our original game consoles to play those. So unfortunate
Superb information and vid👍🏻
Glad to help! Thanks for watching! 🙌
I don't know when they adding more original Xbox games for backwards compatible?
🤞 Keep the hope alive!
Hello, so let me know if i get it straight. I want to buy an Xbox one X, this console is backward compatible with xbox 360 games ? Digitally/ from the store or phisically too, from dvd's ?
Select original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles are compatible with Xbox One, and some are even optimized / improved on the Xbox One X! I show quite a few of the titles available in this video that will play on the Xbox One X but there is an official list available on the Xbox site (it's in the video description) 👍
Does this mean you can only use the backwards compatibility if you are online to download from the Xbox store, to read from the disc etc to play them.I have the original Xbox & 360 & loads of games but didn't buy the last gen console but am thinking of getting a Xbox series X second hand.Dont play multi player so never been online/Xbox live.
Essentially yes, you'll need to connect to the internet to allow the backwards compatibility to function. You do *not* need a paid online membership though (Xbox Live, Game Pass etc) to take advantage of the backwards compatibility 👍
Hi i have a question will the Transformers movie games that are on 360 will they work on an Xbox one???
Sorry, I don't see any Transformers titles on the the backwards compatibility list
They should have put clauses there for forward compatibility in their licensing agreement. Or even added an attachment you could purchase.
That would be spectacular forward-thinking. It seems like Xbox One to Series X had straightened it out somewhat
very informative retrospect!
Thank you! Appreciate yours support as always 🙏🙌
we need more original xbox games for backwards compatible?
I agree 100% ! However, it sounds like the list is final and Xbox isn't working on any further backwards compatibility for original Xbox or Xbox 360
quick question if i bought a new 360 game (physical) that i never owned, load the disc in on the newer console, will that work???
Yes, as long as it's on the backwards compatibility list. Not all 360 games are on the list but a lot are
@@SvennyMcG Oh alright, thank you!!
If you are thinking of a particular title and aren't sure, let me know and I can confirm too 😊👍
All PS5 games also supports PS4 games except for Afro-Samuari 2: Revenge of Kumi Vol. 1, TT Isle of Man Ride of the Edge 2, Just Deal With It, Robinson The Journey, Hitman Go: Definitive Edition and Shawden.
That's true! The PS4 oddly didn't have any backwards support 🤷♂️ Playstation definitely tried to remedy that to start by adding PS4 backwards compatibility 👍
Test FIFA Street 4 from 2012 was the last FIFA Street being released for Xbox 360 and Ps3.
I'm sorry, my friend, I don't believe any of the FIFA titles are backwards compatible at this time
too bad, but it would be worth testing, thanks very good partner your content only progress on your journey! 🤝🇧🇷
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 🙏
I did look and unfortunately I don't have that title in my games library to test at this time but I'll keep an eye out for it 😊
Opinion on Sonic Unleashed? It's one of my personal favorite games
We enjoyed the gameplay too 😊
So I have NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 2/MOST WANTED/CARBON for og Xbox, whats the latest system i can buy that'll play the discs?
Need for Speed Underground 2 looks to be compatible on Xbox 360 but that's it - I don't see any NFS games on the Xbox One or Xbox Series consoles as compatible with previous versions
@@SvennyMcG guess I gotta shop for an og then.
Thanks!
The good news is that they're usually not too expensive or hard to find 👍 Thanks for watching 🙌
Does ultimate Spider-Man, Def Jam Fight for Ny, Need For Speed Underground 2 Work on the Xbox 360
Ultimate Spider-Man and NFS: Underground 2 will play on Xbox 360.
I don't see any of those three titles on the backwards compatible list to play on the Xbox One or Series X.
i really like to play ultimate Spider-Man and nfs underground 2 on Xbox One?
100% ! Great title choices!
Wish games like Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog were also backwards compatible. But, what can you do?
For sure! Here's hoping they add more titles to the program sometime in the future 👍
Thanks for watching
@@SvennyMcG Or even, hell, remakes/ports of those games would be nice.
No doubt! Over Christmas we grabbed a couple Sonic ports on the Switch (Forces, Racing, Mania) but it'd be nice to see those. A chum is selling Shadow the Hedgehog and I looked it up and was surprised at what it's going for these days
EA owns the Renderware engines that they were made on :/
I have alot of those game great collection
Thanks! So many great games on the Xbox and Xbox 360, so happy to see them still available!
If backwards compatibility returns, here the list of games i want them to add
Lollipop chainsaw
The Simpsons: Hit & Run
The Simpsons game (2007)
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse
Street Fighter x Tekken
Ultimate Spider-Man
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Spider-man: The Edge of Time
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Game)
Ninja Blade
I love Simpsons hit & run and ultimate Spider-Man I wish they add those games to backwards compatible soon?
You picked so many beauty titles! Hit & Run is so fun and the Spider-Man titles are awesome 🤟🕷
I hope the program starts back up soon too! 🤞
we want the backwards compatible program to come back?
We absolutely do my friend! 😊🙏
great stuff thanks for the info
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 👍
Question can I play Transformers dark of the Moon on an Xbox One? It was Xbox 360 game
Sorry, I don't see that title on the backwards compatibility list 😔
Does the disc have to be in the console all the time to play it or can you remove the disc and still play the game
You need the disc in the tray every time you boot the game - not sure if you can remove it once you load the game 🤔 Why would you wish to remove it?
I think those other Xbox 360 games didn't have backwards compatibility on Xbox One.
Clive Barker's Jericho
Homefront
Ninety-Nine Nights
N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights II
The Cursed Crusade
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Singularity
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
Splatterhouse
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.
Unfortunately not all 360 games are backwards compatible - I put a link to the official list of games in the video description 👍
@@SvennyMcG I also add another game who's not backwards compatible on Xbox One its Knights Contract.
You're correct, unfortunately it's not on the list
@@SvennyMcG They're all need backwards compatibility on Xbox One.
There's two movie tie-in games also is Eragon and Clash of the Titans.
🤞🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed that they revive the backwards compatibility program
Did you get the virtua fighter 5 online disc to work? Collecting all these and that's the only annomily I see from my collection.
Unfortunately no, that was an oversight on my behalf. Since this video I have installed all of the games shown here EXCEPT that Virtua Fighter 5 Online; the compatible game is Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, an XBLA digital-only game. Apologies for this error
@@SvennyMcG no problem. Also, disc versions of foreign games work. I've installed the Japanese versions of Rumble Roses XX no problem, as well as other region games like Clannad, all the Steins:Gates, and even Panzer Elite Action Fields of Glory. Arcade Compilation Discs like XBLA Unplugged work too.
Wow that's fantastic! I'll look into the other region games and I believe I have an arcade compilation disc, thanks for the head's up! 👍
@@SvennyMcG definitely recommend trying it and good luck!
We need Star Wars obi wan! It was an og Xbox exclusive too 😢
You know what's crazy is I picked up this title a few months ago and was mind-blown it wasn't on the backwards compatible list!! Like literally the only Star Wars Xbox title to not make it 🤔🤷♂️😔
I hope they add all og xbox games for backwards compatible?
I do too! Hope they get back to the program again 👍
maybe after the Activision buyout we see more new backwards compatible games?
I'm still hoping for some announcements! 🙏
@@SvennyMcG i can't wait re-open again program
For real! With Activision coming over here's hoping we see some awesome titles come available again 👍
@@SvennyMcG and don;t forget bethesda titles or maybe xbox exclusives games (Halo series, Mechassault series, Brute Force , Bloodwake & Fable original)
Right stupid quistion but im not sure should 360 backwards compatible disc based games work on a seies x or is it just digital reason i ask is i just bought splinter cell blacklist but the disc doesnt install?
No stupid questions, my friend! The disc will only act as a "key" to trigger the download from the Microsoft Store; in this case, if the install disc isn't triggering the download try inserting the game play disc. Thereafter, the game will fully install to your SSD and you will use the game disc only as a validation key to play it off the SSD. Blacklist is listed as compatible and apparently even Xbox enhanced!
@@SvennyMcG thankyou mate ill give it a just semed like the disc wasnt even spinning 👍
Hope you're good to go! 👍
@@SvennyMcG sadly its not working 😕
Are any discs spinning?
maybe for 25 anniversary of Xbox we get more new backwards compatible games?
Great idea! Here's hoping!
Greetings sir. I am going to buy a new XBOX Series X. I wanted to know if these few games I listed here are backwards compatible or not.
1. Forza Horizon (XBOX 360 Disc)
2. Forza Horizon 3 (XBOX One Disc)
3. Forza Horizon 4 (XBOX One Disc)
4. Forza Horizon 5 (Series X/Windows 10 Compatible)
Hello, my friend! Yes, Forza Horizon for 360 is listed as a backwards compatible game 😊 The Xbox One and Series titles you listed will all be compatible as well so you're all set! Lots of racing ahead for you, enjoy! 🙌
Do the og Xbox games have achievements added for the Xbox one and series’s or no
I don't believe any of the OG Xbox games had achievements added but the Xbox 360 games, of course, still have theirs 👍
Does Angry Birds Trilogy Re-released on Xbox One Family and Xbox Series X?
Hi! I don't see the Angry Birds Trilogy on the backwards compatibility list
I just need Brute Force & Mech-assault 1 & 2. With upgrades.
What I don't understand is Microsoft own these rights back then, they should’ve been first on the BC program.
100% agree! Same with Halo & Halo 2, it's mind-boggling that they aren't on the list
Agree i wish we had more original Xbox games for backwards compatible on Xbox One
For sure chummy! Hopefully soon!
It's actually stupid how Microsoft has to pay these Publishers again so that way they can put the same game but on a different console I can see why oxbox doesn't do it anymore personally I don't think it's a form of emulation if you're improving things but putting it on an upgraded version of the console technically to me since it is the same company making the console technically they are still in an agreement with each other that Xbox can use the games on their console and the publisher can get money from the games
I agree, I think it's crazy how difficult it is to re-license games especially if the franchises are done. In some cases the backwards compatibility games are upgraded but ultimately wish the list was bigger
does anyone know can you play Scarface on the Xbox One? or Xbox series? It's an Xbox original it seems to work on Xbox 360
I don't see Scarface on the backwards compatibility list. The Xbox 360 does have a solid backwards compatibility with the original Xbox but the list isn't the same on today's consoles unfortunately
I saw fallout 3 in your list, yet didn't see fallout New Vegas, please tell me if this is compatible or not.
I wouldn't want to purchase an entire system for nothing.
Fallout: New Vegas is indeed included 👍 I may not have had a copy for 360 at the time of recording. I also read that if you have the "Ultimate Edition" of the game that all DLC will run too. Enjoy!
@@SvennyMcG Thank you so much 👍
You bet! 🙌
I feel like they should have not stop making Xbox one backwards compatibility games for Xbox one because they are still Xbox 360 games that are not accounted for like UFC undisputed 2 WWE 13 and WWE 12 dead Island rip tired x- men destiny fry cry 4 limited edition UFC 2009 undisputed UFC 2010 undisputed so on and so on
I hear you! And now that they are scooping up Activision they should have no issue securing licenses to any of their properties either. Love to Xbox pick up the backwards compatibility again and keep it going 👍

So on xbox one xbox 360 games cannot be pop in xbox one and expect it to run like 360??? Let me get this right you have to be online with xbox one to download xbox 360 game? And then you have to be online to continuously to play game?
I'm not sure about having to stay online to play but yes, you'll need to be online when you first pop the disc in.
Some games will run like 360 while others are improved or optimized
I have a question do I need Xbox 360 account to play Xbox 360 games online because I never own Xbox 360 and I’m thinking about buying Xbox series X
Hi! Yes, for online play you'll still need an Xbox account. As Xbox Live has rebranded you'd need Game Pass Core
I look for backward compatibility on all my systems!
It's such an important feature! Hope to see more here and among other consoles too. Thanks for watching 😊👍
Small mention but it’s annoying when you insert the original Xbox version of GTA: San Andreas, it auto downloads the 360 remaster which is trash.
Thanks for the heads-up!
I can't seems to get disc 2 of my dragoon age origin ultimate edition to work on my series x. Any help would be appreciated
You progressed to the 2nd disc but it's not working?
@SvennyMcG it's all good. Unfortunately I think the laser that reads xbox originals and 360 games is broken 😢
@toye895 oh no, really? Other games aren't working either?
@SvennyMcG yeah I tried a few and sadly none worked. I have my xb1 to fall back on at least lol
Sorry to hear but yeah, glad to hear you have a backup plan 😊
Is def jam fight for new york backwards compatiable with the xbox series x
Unfortunately I don't see any of the Def Jam titles on the list 😕
Do i need to be connected to the internet to use backwards compatibility? I live in rural area i don't have internet. Would be nice if it works right out the box
Yes, you'll need to connect to the internet to download the copy of the backwards compatible game to your console. After that, the disc just acts as a validation key - I'm sure this means it still needs to validate it on the internet as well but it's momentary if you have spotty internet connection
I live in the UK and Raiden iv was never released here on the 360; I purchased a copy from America but won't be able to play it on my pal machine. I would love to see some of those shmups released on game pass as they weren't released here either.
I wasn't aware it wasn't available in your region! I'm sorry to hear it didn't play on your console 😔 If backwards compatibility was available, here's hoping it does indeed make its way to Game Pass! I alwayd love a good shmup too 😊 Thanks for watching
still waiting for more Xbox racing games for backwards compatible?
All Forza would be a good start!
One thing I just realized how is it emulating when you own the game on a disc
The game was licensed to play on the Xbox 360; making it available on other hardware requires a new license. That's my understanding of it. To make the games playable on the new hardware they have to be downloaded from the Microsoft Store but more than just digital games they are running as they did on Xbox & Xbox 360
You think the Mortal Kombat for the Xbox original and VE Gallaghea would work on Xbox one
360 titles Mortal Kombat (2011) and MK vs DC Universe are compatible but unfortunately those titles are not. Thanks for watching 👍
Shrek 2 and SpongeBob : Lights , Camera , Pants I wish were backwards compatible
Fun choices! Note you can play SpongeBob's Truth or Square & SpongeBob SquarePants: Underpants Slam 😊
I know that Microsoft discontinued this but they NEED to add halo ce and 2 on here.
👏👏👏 absolutely, big holes right there. I'm guessing they excluded them because of The Master Chief Collection but they should have still included them in disc-based backwards compatibility
What?? They discontinued this??
Yo boss can u help me I try putting every Xbox 360 disc in my Xbox one it doesn’t even show a message it’s blank like there’s no disc inside
Sorry for the late reply, did you find a resolve? Was it a console update or something?
Back in the day, I used to be a huge fan of PlayStation because of backwards compatibility that was awesome but no because of the lack of backwards compatibility with PlayStation these days is the reason why I made the switch to Xbox backwards compatibility on Xbox isn’t perfect, but it’s far better than what PlayStation is doing.
Backwards compatibility and another reason is for Xbox game pass as a customer. I think Xbox game pass it’s just a far better package deal a lot of the games on. There are Xbox 360 games and there’s a few original Xbox games on there as well. Sure the PlayStation five has more exclusives now But I don’t find any of them that interesting except for like maybe Spider-Man or horizons but there’s lots more games that are available on Xbox either through Xbox game pass or is an Xbox exclusive that I am more interested in even with the previous generation console game libraries combined the Xbox, simply just offers more of what I want
By the way, this video came out awhile ago, but since then backwards compatibility has just gotten more support now I don’t know even Microsoft said they’re pulling the plug on it maybe they are maybe they’re not or maybe they backtracked on that decision and backwards compatibility as for right now it’s better than ever on Xbox and it seems like for now it’s here to staythey seem to be embracing it.
With that being said backwards, compatibility to original Xbox games seems to be somewhat limited for me. You might still want to either hold onto your old original Xbox if you already have one or why not go out and get one anyway if you want to play all these old original games. If it saves you a little bit of money, you could get I’m not kidding you are PlayStation two and the reason why is because the PlayStation two has about 90% of the same library as the Xbox in fact, the PlayStation two might be a little bit better because you would still get access to Xbox exclusive games, most likely as a desert old download on your modern Xbox And the PlayStation two open the door to PlayStation exclusive games that the PlayStation two had and this is what I do an Xbox series X combined with a PlayStation two. PlayStation two console will give you 9% of all the games that the original Xbox had plus PlayStation one games. The PlayStation two. Just gives you more stuff
Thanks for watching! Great insights! Xbox definitely has had more support this generation than the PS5 and with Game Pass (and Ultimate even including EA Play) there are a lot of options. I hope they do explore more backwards compatibility games in the future, especially with the Activision Blizzard acquisition. If you're looking for more original Xbox support I also suggest getting an Xbox 360, they're usually cheap and they too support a lot of the original Xbox library (not all, but a lot!).
@@SvennyMcG am gonna.. PASS on the 360. Because I already own a few consoles, and I’m actually trying to get rid of some.
The only reason I would get an Xbox 360 is if as a streamer, I have a demand for a game that my Xbox series X cannot play.
actually homebrew get an Xbox 360 that has some homebrew on it, so it can play PlayStation games as well
I have some games like that but others like left 4 dead and portal 2 and the orange box, asura's wrath and last doom 3 bfg edition
Some great titles in there!
What about series s? The original Xbox games also work on there?
The Series S has the same allowances to play most of these games by purchasing them from the Microsoft Store; the obvious difference here is while compatible you do not have access to your physical discs as there isn't a disc drive on the Series S.
Some games, unfortunately, are disc only compatible and otherwise not for sale on the store.
@@SvennyMcG oh right I have the Xbox one s with the disc drive, some original x box games and some 360 games work I hope Microsoft add many more in the future
You using the xbox one original which came out in 2013.Am I correct 😅
You are correct, it's the original Xbox One 😊
This also works on the Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

Yes! *Most* Xbox One games will work on the Series X, essentially all except some like any Kinect games 😊👍

Now that is a beautiful thought, more titles for backwards compatibility! It's amazing how well these titles play, especially the enhanced selections 👍
Lord of the ring games should be on the list ? What do you think ?
Agreed! The Lego LOTR game made it, however, even though EA did the LOTR franchise games I don't know how the licensing plays out. If they're added to EA Play the perhaps backward-compatibility will come with it too 👍

That one escapes me - they made SO MANY Xbox Star Wars games available like KOTOR and Battlefront but Obi-Wan, an Xbox-Exclusive game, was not updated. If they brought it in now, with the Disney+ show now active, I think it would be played like crazy. Maybe EA Play will provide it one day 🤔
So, Thief deadly shadows and Dino crisis 3 don't work?
I really wish the Dragonball Z Budokai collection worked. I bought it assuming it would work on my series x, and to no surprise I ended up disappointed
Definitely need more DBZ games on the list! 👍

Sounds like the Def Jam games would be great additions 👍
2023 is this still possible I have the original Xbox one from 2013 (few first that came out) I’m trying to play BO2 on the XBOX one but not even the cd 💿 image pops up…
The backwards compatibility is still available and Black Ops 2 is on the list. I have the dame model of Xbox One and it works - do other discs work on your system? Does that disc work on a 360?
