I'd assume it will be the same as disc versions of Xbox One games where you till have to insert the disc when playing a game even though it's downloaded to the console.
Yep I had a dig around and managed to find out you do still require the disc.

I tried it then realised I'm not in the preview, didn't realise I had to be a special member. Ah well I'll have to wait to play Viva Pinata again.
If you you want access now just post your gamertag and ask id someone can refer you.

And i'll add that they said there is more to come too
And that the vast majority of first party titles will be added to the list

Wow Xbox 360 backwards compatibility sounds v good. Two questions:

1. Will this include multiplayer? (Hope so!)

2. If it does then is it on Xbox one servers or on Xbox 360 servers? (sorry if silly question)

so what's worth getting for the 360 ?
The Mass Effect Trilogy

Halo: Reach

Red Dead Redemption


Those are why I still have my 360 hooked up...

1. Will this include multiplayer? (Hope so!)

2. If it does then is it on Xbox one servers or on Xbox 360 servers? (sorry if silly question)
1. Yes. And also Xbox 360 cloud saves.

2. I believe that they run as they would on an Xbox 360... but on an Xbox One. So, they'd use whatever they'd use on 360.

It's not instant. Expect a PM on your xbox one in a few days, there have been cases of people not getting in despite numerous invites, so don't get your hopes up too high.

I would just like to say, to those 'holier than thou' gamers, who poo poo'd my comments about backwards compatibility a year ago, please go and stick it. What you think you know is in fact that YOU KNOW NOTHING.

As evidenced by the recent news.

"You can't emulate last gen games, there's not enough power"
"The architecture is completely different, the games won't work"

You talk rubbish.

So why can't it play every game, straight off the disc, right now?

For those not in the preview program, there is a potential workaround of sorts. It's kinda contrived, but it should work.

Check out your friends list and if you can find someone that has been playing a 360 game on their Xbox One you should be able to select that game on their profile, and then download and play that BC file as long as you own it yourself.

I can't try it out personally as I'm already in the program, but perhaps someone else can give it a go.

My console shows Zuma as available to download, so looks like more games are being added.

Bit of a long shot... long time lurker but not poster. is there any chance someone could add an invite to the preview program for me... spookyclown is my tag.

SWMBO is moaning about the number of consoles in the house and showing that we maybe able to get rid of the two 360s would help keep the peace

Thanks
