This is a list of Xbox 360 games that are compatible with the Xbox One.

As of 15 June 2015, backward compatibility with supported Xbox 360 games is available to Xbox Preview program members with the most recent preview dashboard update. Backwards compatibility is expected to be released publicly later in 2015.

History

At launch in November 2013, Xbox One did not have native backward compatibility with original Xbox or Xbox 360 games.[1][2] Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb suggested users could use the HDMI-in port on the console to pass an Xbox 360 or any other device with HDMI output[3] through Xbox One.[4][5][6] Senior project management and planning director Albert Penello explained that Microsoft was considering a cloud gaming platform to enable backwards compatibility, but he felt it would be "problematic" due to varying internet connection qualities.[7][8]

During its E3 press conference on June 15, 2015, Microsoft announced that Xbox One has gained backwards compatibility with selected Xbox 360 titles and the capability was available immediately for Xbox Preview program members, with public availability expected later in 2015.[9] The games will run within an emulator, and support Xbox One features such as recording and broadcasting gameplay.[9] Games do not run directly off discs, and are redownloaded in a ported form; inserting the disc for a supported title will trigger the download of the ported version, while digitally-purchased games will appear in the user's library for re-download at no additional charge once available. If the game is installed using physical media, the disc is still required for validation purposes.[9][10]

Not all Xbox 360 games will be supported; the feature is currently available to at least 21 games for Xbox One preview program members.[11] Microsoft stated that publishers would only need to provide permission to the company to allow the repackaging,[9] and at least 100 Xbox 360 games would be supported for feature's public launch in the holiday season.[9] A similar emulation strategy was used to run selected games from the original Xbox on 360.[12][13][14][10]
