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.

This xbox isn't going to sell as well as the 360. MS are doing everything wrong, no one wants half of the stuff they are doing to it. eg; this, pay a fee for second hand games, has to be online once a day

Don't see why people would complaine, No one would be playing MW2 or BO1/2 online on the Xbox One, They should make it so you can play games just not online

I don't understand why people bitch so much about it. I still have the original xbox and the original xbox game I've played on my 360 was Halo 2, and I have dozens of original xbox games. Want to play your 360 games? Then keep your 360 console and stop bitching.

TryHardxModz If this is true, it's complete ********. 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 ********.


You make it sound like GTA V won't available for Xbox One/PS4.

My name.
