Microsoft explains how Xbox 360 DLC works on Xbox One

4.4
If you own DLC for any of your Xbox 360 games, it will still work on Xbox One. If you don’t, you won’t be able to buy it from the new console.

Microsoft confirmed before that all the DLC you bought for your Xbox 360 games will carry over to Xbox One, if the game is backwards compatible.

In cases where you don’t yet own DLC for a game, you won’t be able to buy it through the Xbox One console. A Microsoft representative confirmed to GameInformer that you can only buy said DLC from an Xbox 360 or through Xbox.com.

“Right now, Backward Compatibility does not emulate the Xbox 360 store and new Xbox 360 games can be purchased on your Xbox 360 or via Xbox.com,” the representative said.

If you want to navigate to the DLC you already own on Xbox One, you’ll find it under the ‘Ready to Install’ section for each game. You can get there by clicking ‘Manage Game’.

Xbox One’s backwards compatibility officially launches today, 12 hours after the new dashboard becomes available.

Nationalism Okay, so. I have all the DLCs for every Call of Duty game since Call of Duty 4, excluding Ghosts and Advanced Warfare, because well, they sucked.

However, I bought them on a old account, which I no longer use, or have access to. I am still able to use them on my Xbox 360 because I have them downloaded there.

Does this mean that my Xbox One will not recognized any DLCs because my current account didnt purchase them? Or will it somehow recognize that my account is connected to an Xbox 360, where the DLC has previously been bought.


With Black Ops going to BC, I would really like to be able to play some of the old DLC Zombies maps, i.e Shangri-La, Call of the Dead, and the original WaW DLC maps, because they were included in a DLC package on Black Ops.

It will probably only work with DLC on that account.. I'm sure it won't be able to recognize DLC that was previously installed on your 360 from other accounts. Not 100% sure though.


That's what I figured, really sucks. But I'm not rebuyun them for Xbox One...

I dont believe that the original black ops will be backwards compatible lol.


It will be. Major Nelson confirmed it will be coming. Im assuming due to the Buy blops 3 and get blops 1 deal.
Unfortunately im in the same boat, no DLC for me, bought it on an account which is now banned.. its a shame cause I liked the black ops 1 DLC
