We know that future Xbox 360 games handed to Xbox Live Gold subscribers via Games with Gold will be backwards compatible, and some of the past ones will be as well, but how will it work? And when will they be made available? Xbox and Windows Platform Director of Program Management Mike Ybarra had the answer today.

On BC: You need to redeem the 360 GwG from https://t.co/PbyrniKxQW then they will show up in your Ready to Install on Xbox One at launch.

Dirt3, which has just been made available among the Games with Gold, will be backwards compatible, but if you are a preview member, don’t expect it to appear on Xbox One just yet, you’ll have to wait for the official launch like everyone else.

Not until we launch. It will not show up right now. https://t.co/5fCLGfm82F

Ybarra also mentioned that there are “complications” in adding Xbox 360 games to the Xbox One marketplace, but he would still like to, so there’s hope.

I would like to. Complications, but would like to. https://t.co/O0F1LijlpS

Ultimately, you can still buy them from the website, so it’s not really a big deal. Backwards compatibility launches with the New Xbox One Experience on November 12th.
