Xbox One backwards compatibility was announced during this year’s Microsoft press conference at E3.
The process works by inserting a 360 game into your Xbox One, which will cause the game to be downloaded onto your hard drive. Downloadable titles like Arcade games will automatically show up on your system. Game saves will also transfer via cloud storage.
A handful of 360 games have already been confirmed to be compatible on Xbone, including Gears of War, Mass Effect, and the titles on Rare Replay, but fans have been clamoring for a number of classic games that have yet to be confirmed.
The top five most requested games are Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Red Dead Redemption, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, CoD: Modern Warfare 2, and Halo Reach.
Will these games be on this list? We think so. Xbox has recently done a great job of listening to fans and making smart changes to their brand.
Xbox One backwards compatibility will be available on November 12 via a software update.
