What this means is that the games you played on your Xbox 360 can be played on the Xbox One as well, thus preventing you from wasting games and letting them sit on your shelf collecting dust.

Xbox head Phil Spencer is no stranger to interacting with his company’s fan base on social media, and a recent Tweet led to some interesting information.

“I don’t think it’s silly”. Previously, it has featured a poll that asked fans which game they want to see most as a backwards compatible title on the Xbox One.

It works in a very similar way to the new Xbox One backwards compatibility, but the Xbox 360 created an individual emulator for each original Xbox game rather than the way the Xbox One creates an emulator for the entire Xbox 360.

Microsoft recently announced at E3 2015 that Xbox One backwards compatibility will be coming on November. While at the time it only worked with a selection of Xbox 360 titles, it has since been slowly expanding its offerings. Allowing Xbox gamers to revisit these old games would certainly bean excellent move for Microsoft. Last July, some publishers expressed their support to the backwards compatibility feature of Xbox. I wouldn’t mind playing through Lost Odyssey again, either way.

This feature has started to roll out to Preview Program members with 20 Xbox 360 titles, while finder.com.au already leaked over 130 games and continuously updates the list, Bidness ETC reported. Xbox Live Gold membership definitely has other perks, including multiplayer gameplay and exclusive discounts on specific deals.
