Having not owned a Xbox 360 but I own a Xbox One it is welcome news that games with gold is now offering xbox 360 games to be played on the Xbox One. While I understand that backwards compatability is not rolled out till November, am I correct in thinking I can download the 360 games now ready to play in November?

Are you able to download the games now ready for November?
The backwards compatibility feature on the Xbox One will allow you to download any of the compatible games that are tied to your Xbox Live account for free. So if you start adding the Games with Gold games to your account now (using the Xbox website http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB) then you'll be able to download and play them on the Xbox One when/if they become compatible with the Xbox One. If you add any games that aren't compatible, then you just won't be able to play them! |

EA are thinking about putting there backwards compatible games in the EA access vault.
this would make them only available to those with EA access membership. so much for not making you pay for games you already own |

When you buy stuff on the Xbox Store (formerly Xbox Live Marketplace) for Xbox 360 it's tied to your Xbox Live account.

If you add any games that aren't compatible, then you just won't be able to play them! I can't find Metro 2033 (free game this month) for the Xbox 360 on the Xbox app but have on the website. It says it's free with gold or £11.99 with an option to download to the Xbox 360, but I don't have a xbox 360? |

I heard Gears 1 is already supported. (?) Don't know if that includes PAL discs. Haven't had chance to check with my copy yet. |

Gears 3 and Gears Judgement are a safe bet.

Gears of War ultimate edition includes the GOW 360 games so I think it's a safe bet if you already own them they should work without requiring GOW Ultimate.

The game will be added to your account, but obviously you can't download it yet. |

So August's Xbox 360 games with gold games should be backwards compatible when it launches in November?
From Xbox Wire: Quote:
We’re also happy to announce our plan to make all future Xbox 360 Games with Gold titles playable on Xbox One starting when backward compatibility launches in November. This will mean that all Xbox Live Gold members get even more free games to play each month.
I take that to mean that 360 GwG added *from November* will work on Xbox One. |

*Future* Games with Gold, once BC launches.
From Xbox Wire: I take that to mean that 360 GwG added *from November* will work on Xbox One. However, that doesn't preclude games given away before then being playable if/when they are added to the list, so it's still worth adding them to your account just in case. |

You should be able to use that option even if you don't have an Xbox 360.
The game will be added to your account, but obviously you can't download it yet. |

Cheers. Another question. I'm guessing the Xbox One is like the PS4 in regards to deleting games from the hard drive which you can download back to the Xbox One again whenever you want?

Thanks for such a quick answer. So not so many as I thought/hoped - Hopefully they will add some of the games I've mentioned when its rolled out to everyone
EA and Sega are on board though, so there's hope for Tiger Woods and Crazy Taxi. |
