Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility Performance Improved On Xbox One

4.2

After complaints surfaced that some backwards compatible Xbox 360 games weren't running properly on the Xbox One, software engineers at Microsoft got busy working on a system update, one that is now available. Early reports are that certain Xbox 360 games are running much better after applying the update.

Microsoft's Major Nelson (Larry Hryb) stated in a Twitter post that the changes amounted to a "few behind the scenes bug fixes" and that no new features have been added this time around. He also confirmed that Microsoft didn't provide any release notes for this latest update, leaving Xbox One owners to figure things out for themselves. It appears they have.

"Tested on Banjo Nuts and Bolts, Dirt Showdown, and Fable 2. Banjo and Fable are now MUCH smoother in the areas that bogged them down before," an Xbox One user stated on Reddit. "Getting around parts of Showdown Town in Banjo was almost unplayable before, but now runs much better. Same with Fable 2. It's still not perfect, and there is the odd hitch here and there that wasn't there before, but I'll take this over the old performance any day."

I have found that there are a few games which are very laggy, especially halo reach.

OXT Okay all I want to know is.. Is skate 3 there yet?

Skate 3 would be awesome to see, they are meant to be putting Black Ops 1 on backwards compatibility but my opinion i dont see why they should its such a shitty game but that is just what i think.
I will still play it even though i hate it.

It's the only CoD I consider playing, but purely for the zombies, it has to be the best zombies of all which none will compare to in my opinion. Although it is only really a buffed up version of WaW zombies this basic concept is so much better for zombies, at least that's what I think. But I do agree multi-player and everything else sucked, I'll stick to zombies...

Check the Xbox website for upcoming backwards compatibility and this month is halo reach, wars and halo 4 with Skate 3!!!!!

Glad to see this some games I was playing were not really up to standard.

The worst game for backwards compatibility was Halo Reach. That game was unplayable on the Xbox One because of the huge drop in frame rate.

Big surprise that's it's news that Microsoft didn't get it right the first time and had to push an update to fix their mistakes. Never mind the fact that so many highly-requested games for backwards compatibility still haven't been added. I'm seriously considering moving to the PS4 if they don't add the 360 games I loved so much.

The only games I had any issues with were Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Borderlands which both seemed to be fixed a couple weeks ago, so I guess this update just fixed even more bugs =]
