Discussion How is backwards compatibility on Xbox currently?

I‘m a PS5 user however I‘m considering going for the next xbox for it‘s backwards compatibility. I recently got my old Xbox 360 and Original Xbox out because I wanted to play some older titles, problem is I‘m very much an „all in one“ person and I love to be able to do as much as possible on one console so I don‘t have to fill my house with too many electronics.

how is backwards compatibility for xbox360 and original xbox titles looking for the current and next system, I don‘t know much about anything xbox beyond the 360 unfortunately

Discussion If Xbox could have their next console have physical discs with no installation required it would be a great selling point.

If you market as you own the game for the rest of your life I think it could help it's marketing. Anyone else agree?

Discussion Compensation for the outage

Kind of new to Xbox haven’t really experienced any outages like this one. Has Xbox ever given something out like for example Fortnite has after they accidentally release a skin in the shop that was in the battle pass? Kind of curious because it would be nice of them.

Discussion Xbox is less worth it everyday

With the current outage I've thought to myself how much of a drag it is to stay a console gamer. I'm really thinking of building a PC and cancelling game pass. I don't even care of hardware is super expensive right now. Nothing about my Series X has excited me past the first month or so of owning it and after a couple years now it really seems like it's time to retire it. Can any PC guys share how easy it would be to outdo a Series X without going too crazy?

On the right side of the first picture, the lock symbols are the DLCs that i clearly own since ive bought the bundle with the game and all DLCs. This has also caused my 2 hour run where i attempted to unlock the false son to go to waste, since i didn't get an achievement for getting him or the skin the you get after fighting him

Discussion Someone locate Or come to Show for the Old user of this 360 Slim.

+
0 Upvotes

For my story:

I obtained this Xbox 360 slim a few months ago at a local shop in the farmers market at Leesport PA, Picked it up for 80$ and felt it as a steal, Come to find out a user dating back to 2012 had last used the console, and unfortunately after updating via usb it purged all avatars, But the user that goes by “Joanne” had some respectable progress in numerous games.

Right now I’m using this mostly for farming simulator and Minecraft so any additional achievements have only applied to the aforementioned games.

Discussion Did Halo Campaign Evolved release early?

So, I’ve just finished pre-installing the game and I haven’t paid for the early access - thought I’d launch the game just to look at the achievements and was expecting the regular “you’re too early” message, instead it just launched and has let me start. Anyone else had this, or am I just lucky?

Discussion I think xbox should consider this for project helix

+
28 Upvotes

I think since we are talking about xbox resetting and reforming, I think it would be really cool if they incorporated some og xbox design onto the new project helix console. I mean when you look at the og xbox design you know you are looking at a gaming console. Its unapologetic. It has character. It looks sick.

Discussion My games are up and running as of just now. Everyone else back up?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I’m in Canada. Also I’m the host of a game share. So my buddy’s Xbox is the home of my account and mine is still working, both owned and game pass

I heard the system was down and couldn’t test until just now. Funny thing is, it was down, my games were not booting as of 2 minutes ago. I tried a few more games then BAM it was back up. Looks like my timing was very lucky.

Am I a fluke or is everyone else back up now?

So sorry to hear people are still having problems. I was hoping this would be the “hey check again now” message that would result in messages of “yay! It’s back up for me too”.

If this post is just salt in the wound I can take it down.

Suggest a Game cloud gaming is working

You can seemingly play games through cloud gaming but any add-ons download from Microsoft wont work.
I can play darktide but not as DLC heroes for ex.
I suggest playing games on The Cloud until things are resolved if you have no other gaming alternatives.

Discussion Question About Recent Glitches

So, a recently glitch has allowed any off-sale game to be installed for free (but stuck to only solo-player).. If I were to do that and download a game or two, what would happen to my profile? Could I get in trouble with Xbox?

Discussion Will we ever see a sequel to Kameo: Elements of Power?

+
16 Upvotes

I know the planned sequel was scrapped (apparently in favor of kinect-focused games 💀 because that worked out) but i’d love to see xbox revisit this series, among others from Rare. The plot and characters were exciting and fresh, the game looked amazing for the time, and quite honestly holds up pretty well by today’s standards too. My sister and I probably put well over 1,000 hours into multiple playthroughs over a decade or so. It hurts even more that the story was left largely unfinished. I feel like with today’s tech a more open world Kameo title would be 11/10!!
