I can understand why people are disappointed if the game you want aren't on the list, but give it more time, I'm sure more will be added monthly. I'm just thankful MS are trying.

Might be worth voting on games you want BC here https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/29...-compatibility

Thanks - yes fingers crossed its the first of many 😀

Will be interested to see if we play in the same lobby's as people on Xbox 360 or just those on the Xbone
As far as I've read they will be cross platform

Yes, because although people are physically playing on an Xbox One they are virtually playing on an Xbox 360 contained within the software of the One.

What a rubbish list....the vast majority are arcade games
Seeing as there will never be another topspin game, they could at least add either Topspin 3 or 4 to the list.

There are currently 1,162 games for the Xbox 360.
If they can convert about 2/3 of that list I think it'll be a good effort.

Just for everyone's reference backwards compatibility is due to start rolling out at 12 noon Pacific standard time (8pm GMT) and will be available even if you have not yet downloaded the new dashboard.

... and that will be down to the publisher/developer, not Microsoft.

Nearly 30,000 votes for GTA V to be added to the BC list, when it's already available natively on the XB1.
Seems rather silly, especially as GTA V is no longer supported for DLC updates on last gen consoles.

There's some great games on the list - Shadow Complex for one.

Regardless though - don't forget this is free.....

Yup. I had another run through on Shadow Complex on the X1 a few weeks back. Nice Metroidvania style game. Can't believe it was 6 years since I last played/completed it!

Any digital games you own will appear* in the "ready to install" list to the right of your games library. Just click on one and away you go...

Not sure about the disc versions, though.


*After 8pm.


ETA: Mine are all there now.

If you have a disc-based game you need to use the disc. It won't appear in the library like the digital downloads.

I thought the 360 games with gold were going to be part of this? Still only showing the XB1 games, So no download for Dirt 3. When you go to store, it says bundle only and won't let you download

One of the ones I was excited for, and was on the list

They might add them later, but I guess you can download it here http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Pr...=Game#LiveZone then it might show up on the Xbox One
