MS on achievements for original Xbox games for backward compatibility

4.5

Since the launch of Xbox One backwards compatibility, players have been begging Microsoft to get original Xbox games working on the Xbox One. It would seem that Microsoft is hard at work at implementing this future but have gotten stuck on one issue, adding achievements to original Xbox games.

When a fan told Microsoft's Phil Spencer he would like to see an "OG Xbox emulator" on the Xbox One, Phil Spencer said "we'd need to try to figure out achievements I think, not easy to do that."

@justinmorgan57 @PNF4LYFE @Xbox @aarongreenberg As you said, we'd need to try to figure out achievements I think, not easy to do that.

Earlier this year, Microsoft revealed that you would be able to play a wide variety of Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One at no extra charge! The feature launched on November 10th and came with popular games like Fallout 3, Just Cause 2, and Assassins Creed 2, with many others to come in the coming months.

On the 360, OG Backward compatibility didn't support achievements for original Xbox games. But would be cool

This would be a sick thing to add in

Cut They're actually pushing for a OG Xbox emulator ? /.-
It's about to be 2016. Just no.

Lots of people would love an OG xbox emulator. Halo 1? HELLO?, so many good games on the OG Xbox.

Nah another emulator is just going to eat up more hard drive space & i'm sure many people don't even have any OG Xbox games. Not hating at all, i would just like to see new things. It's Next-gen why tf are we going back 15 years? smh

"Next Gen" the consoles use 5 year old outdated hardware.

I don't think you realize how little emulators take up. Secondly, do you realize how cheap another hard drive for this console is? Get over it

This would be really clever and surprised it isn't like that already.
