- Rich spoke to Microsoft about how Xbox 360 back-compat and XBox One X enhanced 360 support actually work. We'll have more on this soon, but in the meantime, here are the top-line facts. Emulation, you say? It's actually a bit more complex than that...

Microsoft deserve a lot of praise for this, it would have been so much easier to go the HD remaster route and sell ports of old games as new releases.
I like their idea of creating one continuous Xbox family where your new console not only runs the old one's games, but it runs them better.
And console players now understand the fun we PC enthusiasts have when we upgrade and revisit old games to see how they run.
Nick I even could play Morrowind on my laptop.
perfect words.
Oooo member when PS3 and Nintendo Wii had full backwards compatibility last gen and Xbox guys said it didn't matter?
Oh yeah I member.
James G PS2 games released on PSN such as Shadow of the Colossus, Jak & Daxter, God of War and Ratchet and Clank are remasters that run at 1080p resolution and they have much better performance compared to playing with PS2 backwards compatibility of og PS3 with 480i signal. I am glad they exist because they still look great on modern TV's.
Perfectly said. 🏆
Interesting video, seems like MS did a really good job with the BC. I wish Sony would care that much about their old PS3 games.
In the case of Sony, it's the complicated Cell architecture that is preventing BC on PS4.
Zerodrag yep like you said, but that also gives sony an excuse to resell you products
I think Zerodrag makes a good point with the Cell architecture.
I don't think it is because Sony doesn't care about PS3 games. It is simply because it isn't viable to the same extend as it is with xbox 360.
There's no way you watched the entire video when you made this comment
As much as i love PS4, it kind of sucks that there isnt Backwards Compatibility. Games like God Of War 3 is charged as a brand new game, when we could have gotten it for free if it was done through backwards compatibility like Microsoft
leonthesleepy my ps3 and God of War 3 disc work just fine
toppdogg2k17 stop damage controlling for Sony idiot
leonthesleepy You would still have to pay for it
What I don't understand is why they don't just give it to you for free via PSNow if you still own the original game!
James G True fact: PS3's Cell CPU even today is FASTER in complex floating point calculations than the overclocked X1X CPU! It simply CAN'T be emulated by PS4. Greed has nothing to do with it.
It's a shame backward compat doesn't seem to be all that popular. I love it. Keeping my collection of old games playable is hugely important to me.
most xbox 360 games are not on pc
Keepskatin That's not what he meant, he means backwards compatibility.
I know emulation on the PC is an option for many systems, but I would much rather spend the bucks on SCART RGB cables and a Framemeister or OSSC to play on real hardware. If I must use emulation, an official solution like the X1X suits me just fine.
otakujhp Backwards compatibility is not emulating on pc^^
You just play the game.
The wizards at Microsoft do it again. Their BC implementation is some seriously impressive engineering.
Indeed.
Microsoft is still years ahead everybody.
@@redhunter1535 no the fuck they aint. This BC is good, but still has a long way to go. Nintendo still reigns supreme in this.
Honestly, the work they do on this emulator really starts to sell me on the X1X even though I have no reason to buy it and wouldn't likely play it much. Crazy how much they've done, and I wish Sony would follow suit, given how much emulator work they did last gen.
Since you and many other people has no interesting on xbox and are buying playstation you are helping sony with your money already. Why are they gonna spend so much money on PS2 and PS3 BC if Sony already has your money now ?
If Microsoft really wanted to give Valve a kick up the ass they'd bring this to Windows 10. This kind of work just shows how important proper competition between platforms is, I'd never considered buying an Xbox until these new BC patches started coming through. Sure the X is expensive, but you get a hell of a machine for your money.
It's impressive, but the PC version still looks better. All they did was touch up some games to make the less graphically pleasing console version look more like the PC version, but still not quite. And you can play them in 8K/5K as well, since they are old, hence not demanding at all. And if you do not own a 5K or 8K monitor like most people, and have an NVIDIA GPU then you can use DSR at 8K, for a cleaner crisp image 'while using a 4K monitor. Downsampling. And you won't get 20 FPS dips, or a 30 FPS cap. And The Microsoft store does not even come close to competing with Valve. Maybe they try and Valve also tries to compete with Sony/Microsoft with their Steam Consoles and it is great that they do, more options and competition is good, but I am just stating that they will not beat out their competition in those fields, let alone dramatically. Each is very good at what they do best.
And on PC you don't need backwards compatibility, and when 16K comes out, or 32K, you can go back and enjoy your classics in that resolution too.
Well: Phil Spencer wants OG Xbox BC for the PC
Unknown Question Mark Valve did failed with their Steam Machines. Although their controllers are selling well.
Microsoft can’t bring this to PC because of licensing agreements. They could make every Xbox game work on PC easily, but third party publishers probably won’t approve.
Don't care what anyone says this is one of the key selling points of Xbox one now, would love to see the same level of backwards compatibility on PS4 or future consoles, it's not just backwards compatibility, your back catalogue run and play better on the one, fantastic if you're like me and have and always will play your old games like I've done for near 30 years now.
Retro Rich It's a killer feature no doubt. Only salty and envy sony fanboys can deny it.
One of the biggest reasons why I went with Xbox again this gen . Playing and getting all the achievements in castlevania sotn after all these years again was such a treat . A lot of these games hold up VERY well. Playing through fable 3 and ninja gaiden right now in between sessions of Evil within 2. Would have loved to play my ps1/2/ and 3 on the PS4 , but hey have been very anti consumer this gen regarding backwards compatibility. Sad really.
J Varg Mine is because I had grew up with Xbox (although I grew up with Nintendo first). And I am more into Xbox is because of how well Microsoft did. And they were one of the most successful software for PC company to make a gaming console. They paid attention to the smallest details to it.
CovertBrony Nintendo is excellent as well. I was a sega kid growing up ( Dad bought every sega system so they have a special place in my heart
True fact: PS3's Cell CPU even today is FASTER in complex floating point calculations than the overclocked X1X CPU!!! :D That's why it can't be emulated by that weak ass Jaguar CPU.
kraenk12 Looks like someone is triggered lol
J Varg Ninja Gaiden? Good look with that hard bullshit. I've started playing that game 4 different times, since the og xbox. And everytime Im like ''this is such a good game, why didn't I beat this''. Then I start playing and say ''Oh yeah, cause I can't beat it'' . True story.
This Backwards Compatibility is so amazing, next year I'll buy a oneX just to enjoy my old games on it. Amazing job Microsoft!
This is what Richard talks about when on a date
I love these types of videos. Thank you. I appreciate the depth of the information. The research is exciting stuff. Love to see how the under the hood details effect the side by side image comparison.
Sony doesn’t respect its players when it comes to backwards compatibility
TheDivisionVampire No company respects their customers unless their wallets are filled with green
TheDivisionVampire why would they respect that they don't even stand up for themselves Sony shits on them all the time and they sit there and take it and buy the game regardless they talk about marketing contracts and Metacritic they don't even say oh the game is fun that's the reason why Sony will never change because the fan base is crippled by stupidity
Ibrahim Chowdhury the only reason I even have a pro is to play quirky games that aren't on Xbox like Yakuza but as far as there exclusives I'm not impressed by it hell I have HZD and can't get 5 mins in without being bored and turning it off lol
I think it's to do with the ps3 architecture.
Ibrahim Chowdhury The launch has something to do with the mainstream. That's why you see majority of the players are playing 3rd party titles over the exclusives. Even most PC players plays 3rd party titles more than the PC exclusives. There was a real reason why the Nintendo Wii and Wii U were flopping because of the lack of 3rd party games.
Not much of an Xbox gamer anymore, but this is awesome. Lots of hard work by MS. Thanks for the info DF.
Your videos are always so clear and don't make things sound very complicated thank you!
*Sonic Unleashed needs to be backwards compatible and have it be enhanced in 4k for the x*
Luis Ramirez I agree with this statement 100%
Luis Ramirez HELL YES!
Go to the xbox user voice page and vote
Generations tho...
It might run better as well
How it actually works? Well, it works in a way that Sony does not know how to do it with the PS4.
Rich of Cucumber Eater USA
I love your channel pic, it describes you perfectly
+Rich of Cucumber Eater USA wrong, because even Microsoft couldn`t create backwards compatibility on PS4 with other PS generations! The PS3 code is way more heavier and complex, therefore it`s not possible to add such a feature in this "first online console" generation, as long as this console was never made with PC engine or programming.
Xbox 360 works because, Microsofts PC hardware and program code compatible with Windows! PS3 doesn`t work because no PC hardware and no program code is compatibility to any web platform. They need to remake and restart the whole PS3 generation, to let this feature happen. This would be a waste of money!
keep telling yourself that. and pay for psnow.
Ronny Scheidt DAMN!! Do you work for Sony?
salt wagon man that thing is trash.
I want to see the original splinter cell trilogy make it to the Xbox store. Would love to see chaos theories versus mode make a return
Very interesting video! Thanks DF!
Really informative video, thanks!
This is awesome, thank you for the detailed breakdown, I"m really impressed with how much work MS has done
Microsoft stole back my heart this generation. One X is an incredible piece of hardware.
These are great videos - keep up the unique content!!
Fantastic video guys. You all have been on fire the past few months with all this great content. Thanks for all that you do, I appreciate it!
P.S. Thanks for getting Titanfall 2 fixed on the One.
This is great!
Will the new Xbox series X 2020 be backward compatible to all OG Xbox games?
The answer is sadly no....
I'll be sure to share this around (: such an amazing detailed analysis. U guys are awesome
I love these kind of videos!! Keep up the great work Digital Foundry.
I love this. Not an xbox owner, but it seems really important for videogames preservation.
I hope Sony can do something liek this with the PS5. Playing 240p 20fps ps1 games in 2160p 60fps with better fidelity than emulators would be nice.
of course they should make a business out of it. Why would they do it otherwise, they are a business.
@SalveMonesvol charge for something you already own? Charge for something the competition makes available without charge? You've been drinking the cool aid,haven't you?
SalveMonesvol Lmao sonytards really are brainwashed. So you would be happy to pay for something you already payed?? Wtf 😳
Who said anything about paying for what I already own? I mean that I want to have the pssibility to go into the store and buy games that I don't have, from ps1(Actually, I'd pay for ps1 games I already own), psp, ps2, Vita, ps3 and ps4, On a ps5, with improved visuals and a tested experience faithful to the original.
I don't want free stuff, nor to pay twice. I want them to make money by having a wider catalog thanks to backwards compatibility.
My question is how do you monitor the frame rate?
FreePenguin5000 this question has been answered many times there is also an early digital foundry video explaining.
Jordan Tate oh ok
Gold Expert ok
Did you send it privately? I don't see your answer here.
Ken Heslip I honestly don't know. I didn't see him answer my question. I was just being nice
keep the videos comin Rich, I love all the content you guys upload!
if you have the disc, Does the xbox uses it to play the game or just as a "license" to run an installed version(what you install with the disc)?
I came here just to hate on a plastic box. Not much else going for me in life.
Good on ya
yes we get it you got nothing going for you in life but what can you do when in that position, oh I know you can pretend to be someone else so you can feel slightly better about yourself
lol
Best troll out their keep it up dude XD
TRIGGER / Nice writing skills. Play less, study more.
Has anyone fired up Mass EFfect 1 on the Xbox one X?
I saw a video comparing it on 360/xbox one/xbox one x and even on the X it still drops below 30 a lot. That game is just a shitshow on consoles.
Cristiano Quiterio yea I've run it, runs better than ever, but yes I don't think it's perfect.
I absolutely love BC on Xbox especially running on my X1X. Another great informative DF video. Thank you..
Thank you for uploading this video, very very interesting!!
Hitman & Shadow of War on One X has all them pixelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllls!
west webb ayy where you been?
west webb i'm just tired of you dude. Don't you get bored of it?
west webb does you have life?
The highest quality pixels anyone has ever seen. More pixels than the human eye can see! True Pixels. The worlds most pixely pixels! Feel True Pixels.
west webb you love pixels though don't you?
Microsoft has the right idea with Back Compatibility unlike Sony. But I'll stick to PC where everything is Backwards Compatible.
Im watching this channel since it had 35k subcribers and the content is still so good.
Hello community, i have a sound problem with streetfighter 4 arcade. There are cracksound in the backround(vucanolevel is the worst) has anyone the same problem and how can i fix it. Maybe df can check this....
It's definitely a reason to get it a Xbox one over a PS4
Microsoft has been looking towards the PC platform for a while, making all their exclusive availaable on windows. Will some of this emulation come to windows as well? Idk, i hope so, the fan emulation scene is struggeling to emulate 360 and even original xbox.
Doubt it. They have to give PC users some reason for buying their gaming system.
Unknown Question Mark which is to play old Xbox games? For someone who didn't own any of their previous consoles that gives me zero sentiment to get a one. IMO I'm happy that their exclusives are on PC but it's hurting them compared to PS4. But it's mostly the severe lack of exclusive on the X right now.
wile123456 Xbox was litterally made out of laptops anyways.
CovertBrony Xbox one uses an AMD jaguar CPU which is pretty low power, but it's difficult to get high powered CPU's in a small box. The OG Xbox was probably the most PC like console, with a Pentium 3 and Nvidia graphics running on a custom version of windows xp, it's just a mess to try and emulate
Once Xbox becomes a PC service yeah.
BC will be there, MS getting all their ducks in row.
Very interesting. Nice video!
does anyone know if you can play the just dance 2023 xbox x|s edition on xbox 360
Not gonna lie this rules. Just incredibly informative and cool.
Praise where praise is deserved: MS did a good job on this area this generation, specially considering the hardware limitations of the XOne.
With that said it seems there are a lot of couch back compat experts in the comments here. Since they seem to know exactly how to do back compat of PS3 games on PS4 they should write the code, making said games run flawlessly out of a single emulator on base PS4 hardware, and pitch it to Sony. They could make a lot of money off their solution rather than b@tch about why someone else isn't doing it.
You Praise a man? Praise a material possession? I never do woman.
Outstanding video. More of these !
Very interesting! I really enjoyed this video!
HOW INCREDIBLE WOULD IT BE IF SONY EMPLOYED BC ON PS5 FOR PS3 AND PS4 GAMES ALIKE WITH AN UNLOCKED FRAME RATE!!!
Consoles need to make a shift to accommodate gamers who want a more future proof experience like you get on PC.
Now imagine what an achievement it is when a bunch of random people make an emulator in their free time without even having official documentation of the actual hardware...
Yeah what Microsoft is doing by hardware, on PCs we can't, and we do that by software which in theory could be a ton slower but RPCS3 or Xenia emulators are doing that pretty decently.
RPCS 3 is frickin awesome, they've almost made TLOU and RDR playable. Almost.
Emulation isn't really using the same game code this is so it's basically an Xbox 360
Is there anyway to help make a specific game's back compat process faster.
If the game code is unchanged, then how come when you put a 360 game disc into an x1 it has to download a multi-gigabyte "compatible" version from the store? If the game code is the same, then why not run the game that is already on the disc?
The Xbox One X is a great system on its own, but the fact that it's the 3rd iteration of Xbox one's, each being a slightly better version of the last one always makes me laugh when I recall people who exclusively game on consoles throwing out the argument "Well, with consoles you don't need to always upgrade" and what's even funnier, is I work with a guy who uses this same argument and went from an original Xbox one to an X. $1000 later, and he argues that PC gaming is too expensive.
PC is more expensive initially. A very good gpu cost about 500 dollars. Then add the other parts,about 1000 for a good computer,that's because you assemble it yourself,and have to wait for parts. Sometimes parts are not compatible,so you have to re-order a new part,and ship back the old one,if it is still returnable. Buying off the shelf, like with consoles, would almost double your pc price. Never half arse your information. PJsalt
Pretty ironic of you to call me out for "half arsing my information" when so much of what you just said was completely false. Yeah, you "can" go out and buy a $500 gtx 1080 or Vega GPU but in no way do you "need" that. You can get away with a $250 gtx 1060/Rx 580 and you're completely fine for maxing out games short of 4k. And the only possible way you could buy something that isn't "compatible" is if you're buying an intel processor for an amd board, or you're trying to match a processor from a completely different generation into a different generation motherboard. Other than those extremely easily avoidable stupid user errors, compatibility is hardly an issue in the slightest.
You save money buying what you need. You don't have to buy the most expensive things on the market. To top it off, it becomes increasingly cheaper from there. Come the next gen of consoles, you don't need to buy a whole new console, you can just swap out for a new graphics card and you're good to go. Anyone who had an even halfway decent setup from 2011+ is still in a position where they can match a current gen console and surpass if it they so choose.
The One S is, for all intents and purposes, identical to the original One for games. Yes, it has a very slightly faster CPU, but is certainly not something anyone should be considering "upgrading" for. What it really shines at is cleaning up the clunky original hardware design, supporting 4K video, and moving the power supply to internal. The X is a true upgrade. But I think console lifetimes were way too long before. An optional update after 4 years is perfectly reasonable IMO. All games still play on the original, so nobody is "forced" to update to get the new games.
How Does PS3 Backwards Compatibility on PS4 Work?
the problem is PS4 cpu
mgpdevil lol I can play these games on PS3, as simple as that, It’s 2017 and Xbox fanboys are still bragging about 10-20 year old games LMAO
mgpdevil There's none
Jack Jackson Sony announced Jak 2 and 3 being re released for PS4 the other day and PS gamers were happy about it. PS2 games mind you
It's not. They can resell you it as a digital download tru the shop like they're doing now so in that regard it is the same as with the xbox one since they have to write an emulator for each title. They just like you to pay again for old titles. Sony is known for lying, just like when they lied Ps2 games aren't possible on ps3 slims but Custom firmware allows you to proving it was possible. Sony is Always full of shit
Thanks! This is a very informative video. I actually work in HPC so I do come across both IBM Power and Intel x86_64 architectures on a regular basis, backporting any code in this way is not an easy task; let alone doing it in realtime, with GPU support across 100's of software titles. I'm not the biggest Microsoft fan, but credit where it's due for this one (y)
Thank you for answering all my questions on how back compatibility actually works. Your videos are tremendous, I love seeing this analysis done for console games.
Xbox is the best place to play :)
You forgot "For me" in the start of the sentence.
Quick, someone go show this to Sony
Anyone have more info on the Developer Eric Haiji, who came up with the Haiji method. I could be spelling his name incorrectly.
Great video! Tnx!!
This is pretty amazing and that's coming from a Playstation guy.
Sony fans bragging about all the exclusives they have on ps4 but they only play the AAA games that are available on both consoles 😂 exclusives are literally the only thing Sony has over Microsoft but even then, that could be subjective. PS+ is shit compared to Xbox live, Xbox has a 4K blu Ray player, even on their S model while PlayStation 4 pro doesn't. They argue PlayStation now is the equivalent to Xbox's backward compatibility but really we have xbox game pass, and EA access. Microsoft just offers way better services and amenities unlike PlayStation. If PS4 had backwards and a 4K Ultra blu ray player, they would be ramming that down all of everyone's throats and they know it 😂
Please help I tried playing my halo wars on xbox one but it wont let me I thought halo wars was backwards compatible
Great Video DF
Glad to see PS4 supporting PS3 games via backward compatib.......oh wait.... :P
just bring back the Xbox360 please! 🐢😍
Why would they bring back a 10 year old console?
They stopped making them in 2015 lol why could they make old consoles when the Xbox one is 5 years old already
Love your videos, please go on with that :)
Great video! I’m fascinated by the work Microsoft continuously puts into BC. Thanks for the in-depth analysis!
Impressiv technology. I would buy a Xbox One X just for the BC alone if they had some kind of option for an experimental mode, which tries to run all OG and 360 games. For a hand full of supported games.. I would not bother to pick one up.
LargoLaGrande That will be a great idea. Although there would be more issues though.
hope the xbox two would just run all og xbox, 360, and xbox one without downloading from imternet and is 100% compatible with everything from day 1
That's the only reason to get x1x.. This gen's done kid pack it up game over.... Xb1x has no games!
country Mac No one is saying about PCs or even cared about them in this video.
If you're only going to play backwards compatible games, you might as well get an xbox 360.
Nice can you do the same video for ps4??
Oh wait!!
Love what you guys do!!!
Can't wait for the interview! 😸
These are some pretty cool features. I want an Xbox One X so bad!
But can they emulate the red ring of death?
Pleasure Kevin why is this a question?
Pleasure Kevin Yes, they emulated it Xbx One X Project Scorpio edition
Looks like you're capable of emulating Sony fan boy idiocy
Well then that's another Xbox exclusive gone.
tbh this would be quite funny :D
Does anyone know if the earlier later 360 versions were better slightly? In terms of hardware?
Amazing stuff richard!
hoping to play silent hill 2 on xonex.
can it run crysis.....?
Sesaki -san lmaooo
Sesaki -san, looks better than the PC version? I highly doubt that.
Norious Better question: can it run Minecraft? (very demanding game)
XD
This is true next gen 4khdr60fps console of course... HELL NO! Crysis 1 can run only pc!
Sesaki -san but then pc has this thing called mods
Awesome insight. Thank you. That's good news. Am still hopping to play Crysis 1&2 on my beloved Scorpio Edition One X.
Man, I LOVED that small Shenmue II clip!!! DF rocks!
In B4 salty "Xbox has no games" Sony fanboys...
mgpdevil the best part about those comments is that Xbox actually has more games than Playstation thanks to backwards compatibility lol
but these aren't xbox one games, they are 360 games running on it...
when people say it has no games, they mean there are no good xbox one exclusives :)
Xbox has no games.
It literally has to dig up the corpses of old ones 😂
Any good?
mgpdevil Because its true or are you really looking forward to assdown 3 or childrens free to play mechanics in a full price game Sea of Thieves? 😂
Ooo member when Xbox only had 3 games the whole of 2017 and Sony and Nintendo had more then triple that?
Oh yeah I member, Xbox has no games.
Back compat team's the hardest working for The Xbox division but seriously this form of emulation will cause problems such as shortening the life span of the machine (lens) unless it's all digital.
Awesome vid. I know it's not recent stuff, but I'd love it if you guys did an analysis on the way back-compat worked on 360 (go more into detail) and how it worked on different PS3 models! I mean, I'd consider the original PS3 to be the best back-compat console, it had PS2 hardware in itself!!
Rich fantastic work, this has been a long time coming but I'm glad to see you shine the light on BC on Xbox. Such an immense technical achievement, Xbox really does have some of the best software guru's in the industry.
Watch and learn Sony! /:
PS3's Cell CPU even today is FASTER in complex floating point calculations than the overclocked X1X CPU!!! :D Has nothing to do with learning kid. It just can't be emulated easily.
kraenk12 OK... What about PSOne, PS2?
Sony fanboys are salty af!!
Richy Gomez xbox one- cup head, old games
Ps4- marvels spider man
Oh wait, what?
foolishCanadian 420 confirmed salty sony fanboy.
Stldaiuki K why would I be salty huh?
4 player Halo 3 splitscreen where each person gets a 1080p resolution screen? YES PLEASE!
You guys rock. Love your videos, especially ones like this. It's awesome to hear that you pushed Microsoft to be better with their emulation. Keep up the great work!
How about getting OG Xbox games on the one.
HG Shurtugal
We have that already.
HG Shurtugal There is already a few Og Xbox games playable on the Xbox One through backwards compatibility and the original discs work just don't expect as many óg games getting added due to licensing issues with most games back then been expired
I mean how they got that to work.
HG Shurtugal He talks about that towards the end of the video.
CreatingBeyondLimits Would've hoped that they would get them relicensed.
How does my old PC back compat work on my new PC? How are they emulating my old pc's games like Oregon Trail to get them to run on my brand new PC with its 8800GT 512MB GDDR3?
it don't work....you have to patch the game to make them run slower or the game will run at 300fps damm too fast and games crash due to lost in fps
Dang Quang it does work. Since emulators are a grey area I wonder if new PC makers could get in trouble for emulating the old PC. old PC makers might sue new pc makers. Like old 486 maker might sure the i5 7600k maker. or HD3850 maker might sue the RX480 maker.
Deadpheonix86 but why aren't console's like pc?
So how do they do the back compat emulation on a new PC? how come I can run my old PC games like Bioshock 1 or Halflife 2 on my new PC?
Mike M better then Sony, but I think your hate might be making a solid transition as well
Brilliant video and breakdown of this information! Brilliant on Microsoft's account as well!
Great video DF - awesome feature on X1 shouldn't be ignored. I like new games but good older titles never die,RDR still a fave. Also shows MS offer value,if you own 360 games on disc you pay nothing.
If you want buy console from Microsoft, buy old Xbox 360 Slim/Elite. I still play on X360 because there best arcade racing games ever: NFS Most Wanted, Burnout Revenge, Project Gotham Racing, Test Drive Unlimited, Pure...
Maybe you can't see new games on X360, but for old games its best choice.
Adam Jansen
pure
Definitely the xbox360 is an amazing console for the games it has. (just stay away from online. ms barely supports it and you still have to pay xbox live which you will spend way more on than the console itself!)
No
I have a 360 slim and an Xbox one but as more games become backwards compatible, I have less need to use it. Right now I only use my 360 to play Titanfall, Gta V, Rockband 3, MW2, MW3, a few Kinect games, Minecraft and Skyrim.
Damn, you took the words right out of my mouth! All time favorites for me! I remember when i first played Burnout Revenge! That game blew my mind. Lol
Public service notice:
Xbox One X - For the definitive console version! If not - blame developer.
PS4 PROgresso soup gets the peasant's blurry version. Every. Single. Time!
Julian A Molina Jr you must love dog treats good boy.
You know how to copy and paste.
Unknown Question Mark um... Xbox one x was being worked on the same time as PS4 Pro Sony went cheap microsoft went better than
Michael Tepes Sony give themselves something to aim for with the ps5.
In all honesty what can Microsoft say the next xbox can do that the one x can not?
Rocker Rock they haven't done VR or AR yet as well as pump the system up as the most powerful next gen system mark my words PS5 Is already dead and they haven't event dropped it yet
Michael Tepes so something the ps4 pro already does.
I asked what could they market it to do.
Try to answer the question with no fanyboy bs please
Does anyone know how I can play games that aren't part of the backwards compatibility? I bought destiny the taken king for 360 and it says that I can't play it on xbox one. I can't return it cause I opened it already
Just hope that it ever gets added to backwards compatibility
Is there the article on Eurogamer? Hey DF, you must post an article about this kind of thing on your site.
Microsoft the queen of platforms for players.
Those Xbox 360 games do look better on the Xbox One X, but I want new IPs for the Xbox One. I didn't buy an Xbox One to play old games...
EdmGamer Views see I bought Xbox One X to play... ALL GAMES and ALL CHOICES! I'm not a teen with low attention span and ADD I still play the original Super Mario Brothers and have fun with it so yeah you want to play new games and only new games with no other choice buy a PlayStation I'll stick with playing everything
if you have the game, you don't pay anything, i know you know this.
EdmGamer Views PCs doesn't get much new quality games as much as Nintendo, Sony or Xbox does.
EdmGamer Views yes you did... Lol this gen's done pack it up game over!
Awesome vid.
Has the OG Crysis X360 version added to back compat? Would be cool to see how it runs on X1 or X1X.
