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."

Bahroz thats good. I dont understand why it performs low thoe!


Well, the Xbox One is kind of just emulating the older games on the newer hardware since a lot of those games aren't out on the new console. But, the update should have fixed a lot of the issue that were present.

Tablesides A lot people like it only because of MW3 and MW2


I'd smash the hell out of MW3 if it was on Xbox One.


I would be happy with just Cod 4, MW2 would be icing on the cake
