Xbox Series X|S Thread - Power Your Dreams.

GrinWithoutaKat wrote:Bit of an odd question, but can you view 360 games you own but can't be played on Xbox One, on the Xbox One? I'm just clearing out my 360 digital games, removing stuff I plan to re-download on Series X, and I've remember I own loads of stuff from Games with Gold that isn't downloaded as I didn't have the space. Can't find a way to see a list of that stuff though. They don't show up as purchases in my billing history on the Microsoft account. The only one I can remember is Dark Souls, and if I search for it, it will let me re-download. I guess I could just google a list of the first few years of Games with Gold.

Kicking off a New Generation of Play, Together

Gaming connects us even in the most difficult of times. In a year that’s consistently thrown challenge and change our way, games told us new stories, enriched our lives, and brought us together across physical and social distances. Your actions in games showed the power of play and the imaginative feats we can accomplish together.

To honor the launch of the new Xbox generation, we invite you to celebrate this power of play with us. On November 10, we invite you, players of all identities and backgrounds, console generations and devices, skill sets and tastes, to celebrate, connect, and play together. We invite you to grab your device of choice and play alongside Team Xbox, your favorite creators, and our partners, right from your homes around the world. We invite you to take a glimpse behind-the-scenes of the next generation of games, hear the stories of people who make them, and play along with them. We invite you to tune in to our global livestream in celebration of play on November 10 at 6 p.m. GMT on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Gaming.

Think of our livestream celebration as a companion to your gaming plans for the day. We’ll host “Let’s Play” segments with the creators, showcase special launch highlights from around the globe and harness the power of gaming to raise vital funds for great causes. This will be a moment of play, not press releases, as next generation consoles begin to land in the hands of players around the world. Instead of big announcements, we will mark the beginning of a new era by gaming alongside one another. We will take this moment to have some fun and look forward to having you join us.

November 10 marks a formative moment, the very beginning of the new generation of play.

You will be able to experience many of its benefits right away – like the incredible look and feel of movement at 120fps, faster load times, richer gaming libraries, the mobile reach of cloud gaming, and new unforgettable game experiences. As creators tap into the power of the new Xbox console generation over the next decade, you will see gaming shake free from its former limits. Unique custom-designed innovations will make Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S highly coveted this holiday season, and we are working hard with partners around the world to bring as many new consoles to as many players as possible over time.

With the goal of empowering everyone to join this new generation and experience the power of play everywhere on the planet, gaming with Xbox will transform throughout the next decade as our investments across content, console, cloud gaming and PC evolve in harmony – with each other and with what players want. For the gaming industry, there’s no better measure of success than more people playing, and more players discovering games they love.

I can’t wait to celebrate with you on November 10, and I’m looking forward to experiencing what we will all create through play. See you on Xbox soon.

Phil

Still going to have my 360 hooked up in the office as there's a fair few 360 titles I wanted to play that I've realised won't work on the Series X, although the disc drive is kind of knackered on it now. I have to use a paperclip to open the tray.

Im pretty sure your right. The number of OG Xbox games that play on Xbox One is actually a bit slim. I know quite a lot of my origional collection dont work (i was hoping to play Fatal Frame and Silent Hill 2 but neither of the discs work on my 1X).

I know it’s not the greatest version of SH2, but the Silent Hill HD Collection is compatible, and it’s only £6 at the moment.

This is how it begins - in a months time i will have bought new copies of all my old games

I was only going to play them for an hour or two tbh, i just wanted to give them a try as i have never played those titles and it is Halloween (full disclousure - they were a friends games, he passed them on to me before moving away).

I was wondering about this the other day. I haven’t bothered downloading the current version because I’m assuming the Series X will need to download an entirely new version, rather than making use of some of the same download.
