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."

DeluxeHazard It should at least cover the popular games like all of the CODs, Halos, FIFAs, Borderlands, etcetera.


I hope they do get these all back, it would be awesome IMO.

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.


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...


People like you are straight stupid. You don't deserve a console or a site like this.


lol whatever you say bud! you clearly don't see the sarcasm in my response, and overvalue a gaming news site if you think it'd bother me to see this go down.

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...


Well said. Memories and the new ones suck. All them games he listed can be played on a cheap gaming rig I mean skate? cmon who plays that anymore? Bioshock ill agree with but again i can just play that on my pc don't mind using a keyboard for it and dont have to talk to any friends over a mic. But cod is fun to get together online and talk mess and have a few drinks with friends. It's a pain to try and play against try hards with a keyboard and no mic. Not sure what he meant about sf4 but that proves why its not on the list if none has even heard of it lol.
