Not all Xbox 360 games are playable on Xbox One right off the bat, though. The feature will support 104 games when it debuts on November 12th. Microsoft will then add others over time.
Hundreds of additional titles will be added in subsequent months. The only Xbox 360 games that can't work on Xbox One, Microsoft says, are ones that require hardware accessories such as Kinect. This means games like Rock Band, Dance Central and Rocksmith will never be playable on XB1.
You can play supported titles you already own by going to My Games and Apps and downloading them to your Xbox One. If you have the disc, you can simply insert it into your Xbox One and install the game. They'll look exactly as they did on Xbox 360 but they'll support modern features like broadcasting, game streaming and screenshot capture. Furthermore, your Gamescore and achievements for Xbox 360 games will carry over to your Xbox One.
Backward compatible games also support online multiplayer. Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners can even play with each other in multiplayer. You can do that by inviting friends on Xbox 360 to a party.
You can vote for new backward compatible games at Xbox Feedback. While the vote doesn't guarantee that these Xbox 360 games will eventually be playable on Xbox One, an avalanche of fan support couldn't hurt.
