Xbox Working on Backward Compatibility Issues
The August update for Xbox implemented a few new features such as support for the Amazon Fire TV Stick, but it has also introduced a few problems to Xbox One and Series X/S. Not only did gamers have issues while playing multiplayer games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty for a while, but some people noticed a bug related to backward compatibility. The issue occurred when gamers tried to use backward compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox discs on their consoles, which would not be recognized, and the players would get a message that there was a “problem getting this content.”
Fortunately, it seems that these problems have been solved for some people. A recent report from Xbox Insider indicates that the glitch has been fixed. However, some gamers still seem to be unable to play these games, as multiple players have shared their troubles on social media even after Xbox Insiders revealed the implementation of this fix. At the time, it remains to be seen when the problem with Xbox backward compatibility will be fully corrected for all gamers.
Anyone who wants to play backward-compatible Xbox games can use a temporary solution to circumvent the bug, in case they are still receiving error messages when trying to install old games. As explained by Xbox developer OscarK on ResetEra a few weeks ago, one way to avoid the bug is by enabling “autoplay” on the Settings menu or installing the game via the Xbox mobile app. In any case, the issue will likely be fully corrected in a few days, at most.
Xbox was commonly praised for dealing with backward compatibility in a much better way than its direct competitor Sony, but overall, 2024 has not been an excellent year regarding the topic for Xbox gamers. Aside from these technical glitches, the year also saw the closure of the Xbox 360 Marketplace back in July. The Xbox 360 was a massive hit, and now 59 exclusively digital games on the platform may be lost forever. Luckily, all games that had already been purchased when the online store closed down can still be downloaded by their owners, and many of them were heavily discounted during the final days of the platform.
