Microsoft: No cross-platform play between Xbox One and Xbox 360

4.8
Don't expect any cross-platform play between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. That's what Microsoft Xbox UK marketing manager Harvey Eagle confirmed to Videogamer.

"Because of the different architecture of the systems it's not possible. Your Xbox Live account on 360 will carry over to Xbox One. That same account will work on both platforms. The multiplayer won't," Eagle told Videogamer. The Xbox 360 is built on PowerPC architecture, while the Xbox One utilizes an x86 chipset – so no purchased games will transfer to the new system.

The Xbox One was announced by Microsoft yesterday during its Redmond campus Xbox reveal event. The Xbox One is due to launch later this year. Xbox Live profiles and corresponding Achievements on Xbox 360 will carry over to Xbox One, which also bumps up the friends limit to 1,000.

Woobie So if you buy Ghosts for the Xbox One you can't play with people on 360?


Yeah, that's what I would like to know also.


You will not be able to play multiplayer on one platform with players from the other platform. That is what is meant by no cross-platform play

If this is true, it's complete bullshit. GTA V has been in production for a while now, and has been held back til August-September to be fully released. Will only have a few months to play this game, when it has been worked on for years and then the game won't be playable on the new Xbox. That's complete bullshit.

That makes sense that they wouldn't cross over and in another two years, they won't make any games for he 360 so the ability to play on both consoles won't be necessary.

They should have made it so 360 users can play with One users when it comes to Cod Ghost and those upcoming games, since many of my friends which I play with on 360 wont buy the new console.. :)

Why has TTG yet to update this to confirm it was only speculation and rumors?

ohLuciiid You know, at first I was thinking of buying this Xbox one due to me being a huge fan of the Xbox series but all these news just make me think twice about buying it. I'm most likely not going to.


Agreed, I don't get what the hype over this Xbox One is all about. There is nothing innovative, only money grabbing micro-transactions that seem to be everywhere. This Xbox is starting to look more and more like a fail IMO.
