Xbox One Backward Compatible Games See Over 840 Million Hours of Play
According to their report, the service has managed to rack up over 840 million hours of play since it first began a few years ago, across a variety of Xbox 360 games. (Original Xbox games weren’t mentioned, but they’re likely to be popular as well.)
Bill Stillwell, the lead program manager for the Xbox platform, noted, “We’re thrilled with the continued excitement for Xbox One Backward Compatibility – the community has played more than 840 million hours of Xbox 360 games on Xbox One. Compatibility is important to Xbox, to developers and their games, and our community.”
He continued, “Preserving the art form of video games is part of our DNA, which is why Xbox One is the only console designed to play the best games of the past, present and future. We’re excited to continue to deliver on our vision of compatibility and grow our current Backward Compatible library, which includes more than 460 Xbox 360 games, 11 Xbox One X Enhanced Xbox 360 titles, and 13 Original Xbox games."
According to Stillwell, each Xbox One user has played at least 24 hours of backward compatible content on the system, although specific games weren’t mentioned.
As far as what’s next for the program, Microsoft will more than likely continue adding compatible games to the service. Hit titles like Split/Second and Vanquish have been making the rounds, and another batch of original Xbox games should be debuting sometime this spring, although specific titles haven’t been revealed just yet.

Xbox Good to see users enjoying some classic titles.
Most likely it's the older generation that played 360 that are putting so many hours into BC.

Only a few hours of those are mine! Not played a whole lot, but when more bc games come out, I'll be there.

Tentacion Basically any popular multiplayer game is what racking up these hrs
Any game in general. These newer games are trash compared to the ones they released back then. I mean don't get me wrong there is a handful of good ones released but not as many.

Maze So basically this is saying "new games out now are so bad people keep playing the last generation ones"??Pretty much, people play old games because they were simpler. Games nowadays have too much crap crammed into them.
TomPosted:
I expected less due to the cowardly decisions on the games being chosen for BC but still, a job well done to them and for us playing all these games. Hoping for the best with the BC program and for more games to come out. Hoping to get those hours to 1 billion this year.
