Xbox one has announced that it will have backwards compatibility. There will be over 100 games available by the holiday season with 100’s more to come. The games will automatically show up in your library and the retail discs will work as well. Put the disc into your system and download it and you will be able to play it. The games will run better on the Xbox One from the Xbox 360. There will also be no charge to play the backwards compatible games that you already own.
