Free backwards compatibility for all will mean that around 100 Xbox 360 titles will be available to play on Microsoft’s latest console.

The good news for all the Xbox 360 owners who want to migrate to the next console, is that there is a thorough guide on how to perform the process.

Starting in November 2015, the Xbox One is getting updated with Microsoft’s newest operating system: Windows 10. Once the service is up, you would be able to play that recording on any Windows 10 device, perhaps utilising the power of Continuum and Windows 10’s massively marketed cross-platform capability.

Details of the update were given at Gamescom today, and it is backwards compatibility that will have most gamers excited.

Along with unveiling a slew of new titles exclusive to the Xbox One such as Halo 5, Guardians and Forza Motorsport 6, Microsoft also announced plans to release a few interesting pieces of hardware. You can record TV shows in the background and even schedule them in advance. In addition it appears you will need to use an external hard drive to do the recording, as opposed to using the Xbox One’s built-in storage.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced that Xbox 360 games will soon be offered with backward compatibility for Xbox One at the E3 conference 2015.

Microsoft: Microsoft has announced some major new projects and features that will be released on Xbox one in the upcoming span of days. The DVR won’t be able to record television programming unless users also hook up an external hard drive. The Chatpad plugs into the bottom of the Xbox One controller, and allows users to more quickly type messages to friends, search for things in the marketplace, and more.
