Microsoft: No cross-platform play between Xbox One and Xbox 360

4.8
Don't expect any cross-platform play between Xbox 360 and Xbox One. That's what Microsoft Xbox UK marketing manager Harvey Eagle confirmed to Videogamer.

"Because of the different architecture of the systems it's not possible. Your Xbox Live account on 360 will carry over to Xbox One. That same account will work on both platforms. The multiplayer won't," Eagle told Videogamer. The Xbox 360 is built on PowerPC architecture, while the Xbox One utilizes an x86 chipset – so no purchased games will transfer to the new system.

The Xbox One was announced by Microsoft yesterday during its Redmond campus Xbox reveal event. The Xbox One is due to launch later this year. Xbox Live profiles and corresponding Achievements on Xbox 360 will carry over to Xbox One, which also bumps up the friends limit to 1,000.

I just hope you can talk with people on the other system, I really don't care about gaming with 360, I just want to be able to talk with ll my friends who haven't gotten the One or the friends who have already gotten the One.

Merkins I just don't get this
Why would anyone want to play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One?
Yeah I am going to buy this console to play Call of Duty 4 on Xbox One WHEN I HAVE A 360..

Just makes no sense haha


I know right! Why would you buy an Xbox One so you can play Xbox 360 games on it when you still have your 360!? "Internet logic"
