how can i play xbox games on xbox 360
List of Xbox games compatible with Xbox 360 According to Microsoft, each game requires an emulation profile to run[citation needed]. These profiles are downloaded from Xbox Live, or are downloaded manually from Xbox.com and burned on CD or DVD recordable media. They were also distributed as part of the content on the Official Xbox Magazine monthly discs, which were discontinued in 2012. The profiles are downloaded as a single bundle, thus only needing to be applied once per update if doing so offline, or are automatically downloaded the first time a compatible game is inserted.
List of backward compatible games for Xbox One During Microsoft's E3 2015 press conference on June 15, 2015, Microsoft announced plans to introduce Xbox 360 backward compatibility on the Xbox One at no additional cost.[10] Supported Xbox 360 games will run within an emulator and have access to certain Xbox One features, such as recording and broadcasting gameplay.[11] Games do not run directly from discs. A relicensed form of the game is downloaded automatically when a supported game is inserted, instead of having to make extensive modifications to the game in-order to port the original title. This means, that the only reason every single Xbox 360 title is not available, is a judicial issue, not an engineering one. All Xbox 360 games could run out-of-the-box on Xbox One, as they require no modifications or porting to run, other than a valid license. While digitally-purchased games will automatically appear for download in the user's library once available.[10] As with Xbox One titles,[12] if the game is installed using physical media, the disc is still required for validation purposes.[10][11]
