Xbox One Is Getting Its Backwards Compatibility Feature This November

So, same with E3, given that most of the games on the Xbox platform are also available on PlayStation devices, we think posting a Microsoft gamescom 2015 live-stream isn’t all that out of place.

With Windows 10 on Xbox One, Cortana will also be making her way to the console to let you do natural language inputs on the Xbox One, though this will require the Kinect for the audio input. Having enjoyed the good amalgamation of storyline and gameplay in previous Remedy Entertainment works, I am genuinely looking forward to diving into this title upon release. What’s not boring is what Windows 10 will do for your Xbox One: a massive visual update to the game console’s dashboard and the ability to play Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One. “It is fast and gets you to the things you want in a click”. Xbox One users will still need to spring for a separate hard drive that connects to the console via USB to enable the coming DVR option.

Xbox is launching Rare Replay this month, kicking off its 2015 games line-up, which the company says is the greatest in its history.

The Xbox One seems to be shaping up for a similar trajectory.

With the company’s recent move to upgrade its consumer base to Windows 10, one message stood out at the event: “Cross-platforming”. Creative Assembly, known for their Total War series games, will help in the development of the franchise.

An Xbox guide on Backward Compatibility explains: “The digital titles that you own and are part of the Back Compat game catalog will automatically show up in the “Ready to Install” section on your Xbox One“.

The key aspect of the Xbox One DVR functionality is that it only supports Off the Air recording and not cable.

“It’s going to be an incredible year for Xbox One and for gamers”, said Bonnie Ross, head of 343 Industries, the games studio responsible for titles including Halo 4 and its upcoming sequel.
