Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility

I can invite people as well if you wish.

Add me as a friend on Xbox and I'll send the invite when I see you.

Do remember its not instant that your in, it can take up to 48 hours for you to become a preview member and have access to it.

My Gamertag is Quick Mustard

I also dont know if theres a limit to how many I can invite.

Thank you for doing this. I've also added you. My GT is: Denjin Hadouken
 
I didn't try it last night, but from what I read when you insert the disc it will download the game as it needs to download a special emulator version of the game. Once it's downloaded, yes, you will need to insert the disc to play, just like Xbox One disc games and 360 games ripped to the HDD.

Thanks!!!

This is awsome news! I'm so happy, I couldn't catch any of the conferences yesterday, I still can't believe it. I was said numerous tiimes that it couldn't be done...

Fall can't come soon enough! Meanwhile, I'll be happy to read your impressions
 
This is Microsoft taking a big ol' steamy shit all over Sonys PSNow.

I'm impressed with what Microsoft is putting together. Never saw this coming after that disastrous launch. I might actually buy an XBone at some point now.
 
Download profile? Could you not just log in with the to be used profile on your Xbox One? This will log you in as that profile, when you start a 360 game.
I don't know, if you're seeing a bug with downloading profiles - just an idea to prevent it from happening to you.

Tried the bc today for the first time with Super Meatboy and it works awesome.

I am on my profile, but when it launches into the 360 game it has no profile in the 360 mode. When I go to start a game, it says 'Download Profile' even though I'm already on that profile on the X1, I hit download and it says can't connect to XBL, and then the option 'Test Connection' comes up, I hit that, instant crash to X1 home screen.

Yeah I am having the same issue here. Which game are you trying to play? Viva Pinata?
 
Seems to work without issue for me, played Kameo (Disc) and Geometry wars (Digital) so far without issue. Had to xfer my Kameo and GW saves to the cloud in order to have them on XB1. Also I have more games ready for install than what is given in the list of compatible games....interesting

That´s interesting. I didn´t have to hit anything, everything went absolutely automatic. There was just a circle a very short ammount of time, showing something is synchronizing. Then the game startet.
I´ll try another guess :) Eventually there´s something confusing with your ports going on on your router?

I'd like an invite too, Thanks! GT is Lobo Reeves

I'm trying to play Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark. I'd imagine the other games woudl do the same thing.

Hm, sucks for me. I wouldn't think it was anything from my router..my nat is open, if thats what you mean. I'm not the most versed when it comes to that.

What games would that be?
 
I just tried and it worked great. Guarantee you will see many games bundle previous titles like Fallout 4 is doing with Fallout 3 for free. Smart idea.
 
When I looked at my secondary Xbox One this morning there were seven 360 games that it was downloading. I'll need to check them out tonight.

Although I'm not particularly excited about playing any last gen games.
 
Streaming Xbox 360 games through the Xbox One to WIndows 10 works great btw. Playing on my surface pro 3.

Now you can stream 360 games to X1 to Windows 10 to Oculus Rift... the future is the past....
 
Hey peeps, Im super thirsty to be able to play gears of war 3 right now on my X1. If anyone can grant me a preview invite, I will be forever grateful!!! Also add me on
XBL- OptimusPayn3
 
Yeah, I need to know this too. I popped in Mass Effect this morning, it installed and started fine, but when I went to load a save, it wouldn't start as I never had the DLC installed (all my saves were played with it). Didn't have time to check into it as I had to go to work, but would like to find out for tonight.

I haven't read about any solution to the DLC issue, and it's a pretty big one. I have all the DLC for Forza 3 and 4 and you can be sure that I want to bring that over with me. Some games are basically incomplete without their DLC.

Mass Effect 3, for example...you'd be stuck with the original ending!
 
Oh snap, I completely forgot about Fable 2 - the only entry in the franchise that didn't get a PC release. Since there's no remaster in sight, gonna vote for that as well.
 
Viva Piñata Trouble in Paradise runs fine but I have a few gardens from the 360 saved in my cloud storage and the Xbone version won't recognise any them. Hope they manage to fix it soon!

Edit: The saves show up on the Xbone version of the 360 dashboard so they've been synced, weird that the game doesn't see them :(
 
d34thfrom4bov3 is my gamertag if you guys are sending out invites to the preview program. This feature has me super excited! As for the disc stuff, does it play off the disc or does it install?

Good thing to report to them, no? That way they get it fixed for "release"?

I put in Mass Effect to test this, but then got distracted by Gears beta. Will be testing both tonight!
