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."

Not a smart choice in my opinion to not release the whole library, but hopefully the full library will be available in the future

"now"... implying it wasn't winning from the start lol.

I'm so hype and will go back into console gaming if any of the cods from cod4 to black ops 2 reverse compatible, and if it works like it needs to!

If I ever see a call of duty 4 or 5 on this list I may die.

I think it's time to add some games to the library, MS. Indie games only lasted so long.

I just hope to see MW2 and CoD 4.

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.


It's because so many people have great memories on those games, me included. I'd love a ton of games to be available, but i'd definitely play CoD a lot more. Especially when the newer games aren't great. It's always cool to go back and replay your much-loved games. It's your opinion if you don't like them, but I wouldn't call them brainwashed, that's hardly fair just because they enjoy it...

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.


Avenged_Sevenfold and GibbityTree, MS already said the exclusives were all coming back...but don't take it from the idiot that likes a certain game...
