XboxOne Backwards Compatibility

SkidMarkKing · 15 Sep 2013 at 12:06

As many of you are aware the new GTA is out on Tuesday. I do want to get this game but with the new Xbox coming out ile probably save and get it around Christmas time. Therefore I don't want to get GTA5 on xbox360 then again on the XboxOne.

Does anyone know if the XboxOne will play Xbox360 games? If not ile just wait and get GTA5 on the XboxOne after Christmas.

Thanks

Nope, XboxOne isnt backward compatible with any 360 games.

I don't see why people are buying GTA5 on the Xbox360 then. Surely it will look better on the XboxOne and with it being out in 2 months time (around that) you may as well wait.

Because there isn't an Xbox One version. It's a current-gen game.

Ahhh. Suppose if I buy it on Xbox360 ile have 3 months to smash it before getting the XboxOne.

Far higher install base, a lot of continents won't have the Xbox one until sometime next year due to supply and demand issues.

that and I don't think many want to shell out close to £500 on a new console when most the games they want are still coming to current hardware.

that's how I see it anyway, I'd be bummed out if they released it only on new hardware.

Yeah, im a little confused what to do, lol. If I buy GTA5 I won't be playing it after Christmas as im hoping to buy the new XboxOne.

Suppose I could leave my xbox360 out and play on it when I want to go on GTA5. It would get a little annoying swapping gamertags from the Xbox360/XboxOne.

Another quick question:

I bought xbox live 12 months a few months ago. Will this carry over to the new xbox? (recovering gamertag, should do?!?!).

Thinking of just buying GTA5 and playing that for now. The new console can wait. Im sure GTA5 will keep me entertained for a fair few months.

Just pre-ordered it. "1 item will be delivered to ****** from Amazon EU Sàrl. Estimated delivery: not yet available"

Im guessing they have sold out already so I have to wait for the next lot to get delivered to them.
