Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Won’t Cover Full 360 Games Library

4.6
Revealing backwards compatibility on Xbox One for Xbox 360 games was an absurdly juicy feature for Microsoft to just casually throw out at E3 this year. Speaking to Official Xbox Magazine, Microsoft's corporate vice president Kudo Tsunoda explains the next steps and why the full back catalogue won't be appearing just yet.

"So, we’ll start with 100 titles this autumn, and we’ll be adding titles as time goes by," he says. "At some point we’re going to need to get – obviously - the permission of the owners of the content, the publishers and the developers. So 100% is always a hard thing to achieve in anything."

Black Ops 2 is currently the most wanted Xbox One game via backwards compatibility and Microsoft isn't revealing which ones it's going after but is promising bigger and better. "There’s a possibility for some outliers, but we’re really going to work on getting the biggest catalogue of games on any platform onto Xbox One via not only our exclusive blockbuster titles that we’re delivering this fall, [but also] our indie games plus backward compatibility. Again, that’s just enormous value for gamers."

Avenged_Sevenfold What about RPGs that are exclusives, not these garbage CODs and shit...


Unfortunately, it seems as if people only care about COD's being added and not games like Bioshock, Skate 2, SF4 etc. Bunch of brainwashed idiots if you ask me.


Both of these posts are ridiculous.
Would you like to be called an idiot for liking a game?
Tell me how a game who brought in more than $1,000,000 is a shit game?
RPGs will probably be brought back as well, but probably not as quick as CoD though.

_Skittle I have a bad feeling that the COD games won't be backwards compatible :/


I have a feeling that most decent games won't.

Dang, This would of been fantastic if they get this to work for old CoD's instead of them remaking the game. I do hope this goes well so people can play the old games.
