So i was thinking about buying gears ultimate. Is there a code in the package for the 360 games, or do i just put the disc in my console and play it on my account while connected to the internet?

Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility
- Thread starter Mugatu
- Start date
I think you'll have to wait until BC officially launches
edit: or make sure you're download the originals and not the rare replay versions as posted above
Just play it before the end of December and you get them.
That's odd because I've had these games installed before Rare Replay came out. Is there a seperate version?

Yes. Check your library of uninstalled games for multiple versions of the games.
EDIT: I assume you got rid of your Rare Replay disc or something?

I keep putting my Halo Reach disc in my Xbox One and crossing my fingers....I must really want to play it on my Xbox One (subconsciously). I hope it gets backwards compatibility soon. I wish it was one of the first titles to be backwards compatible.

RDR, Halo Wars, Reach, Gears Judgement, Skate 3, NG2, Forza Horizon, Civ Rev...
That's probably my list. I know most of those are gonna happen which makes me happy. Not gonna lie, this makes me wish I bought more games on 360 and less on PS3.

Thanks a lot, after uninstalling the current one, I found a different file in my library and that was it!
Halo Wars, Reach, Gears Judgement and Forza Horizon will definitely happen.
Microsoft said they will be making all their games backwards compatible.
Civ Rev - I remember Firaxis mentioning they will get it compatibile.
RDR, Ninja Gaidan 2 & Skate 3 is up in the air, But considering RDR is high on the feedback list that it should happen... unless performance is awful... or there is some licensing issues.

Is there a possibility that all 360 will be playable?
Technically no as Phil said kinect games wouldn't work.
Nein
Ninja Gaiden 2 will probably count as one of MS' games, as they published it on 360. So that'll likely make it too.

Guys, simple question maybe Major Nelson will read it:
will the official unveil that is going to happen in November (I guess) be US only? or will it be day and date available in Europe as well?

Why would it be US only? There has never ever been any indication of that, and the beta is global.

So this is coming next month and we barely know 10 of those allegedly 100 games.

November. With the new (and major) dashboard/OS update.
This isn't true. There's a full list of games here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1099611
There's 25 working games right now. There's 37 in total which are announced as coming. There's more if you include the Gamescom logos and Ubisoft teased logos.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to it. There are a lot of 360 games I can no longer play since my 360 got the RRoD that MS wouldn't fix (it was 8 years old). I hope they keep adding titles.

I can play it on PC laptop at 720 with just an i5 processor.
Yeah, the good news is it works really, really well. It boots a 360 OS when you start a game and it's basically seamless. You can even screenshot and record video, and use snappable apps and multiplayer (with voice) against 360 players. I've played a whole bunch of Mass Effect and Borderlands (in co-op with 360 peeps) and it just works. Thumbs up to Mr. Microsoft.

Really good news. I'm champing at the bit for the update.

None. None of the multiplayer games work on BC.
Not! XBL runs on BC just like it does on the 360.

There I seemingly no reason MP wouldn't work on all BC games unless the game already is dead.

I was going to leave it and then do the big reveal, but I realized that was actually a dick move.

It's irrelevant to the thread. I can run plenty of games on my PC I'd rather play elsewhere. Speaking of which, I've got Dark Souls digital on my 360 hard drive right now...

This is probably worthy I guess:
http://m.gizmodo.uol.com.br/entrevista-phil-spencer/
It's a interview with the Brazilian gizmodo. Phil says some very interesting things:
- The goal is to have xbox games playable everywhere. backwards and streaming are steps in that direction, but they will do more.
- They are focusing on finishing the 360 emulator on xbone, but 'they won't stop there. The goal is to bring OG Xbox to the mix, and eventually they will bring 360 to pc as well. (Which seems like another step on the item above)
- He won't say the titles that will be available for BC right away, but he hopes it will impress us with the titles they already managed to get.

Might just be my translator but it reads as more of a "nice to have" that would be something they would like to do rather than something they explicitly going after.
360 games on PC is entirely technically possible. They recompile the 360 games - without source code - with a PowerPC to x86 converter. I interviewed years ago for the company which made it, but they sold out (literally) and my non-disclosure agreement lapsed.
Then MS run the games in a HyperV container with Xbox 360 OS (which they also converted to x86). Both the Xbox One and Windows 10 ship with HyperV. So with fairly minimal work you could run, say, Red Dead Redemption on PC.

The translation is correct, but the tone is more like: We want to have all those things, but we have to priorize. First we are focusing on getting 360 to xbone and then we have plenty of work like background music as well. More like, we want to have all that, but will take us time to get there, rather than Oh I want that and would be nice to have, but we don't plan on doing.
I don't mind take a while to get there, but I love that direction of having your games being platform agnostic that they seem to be headed.
