TheXbox 360 gaming console has received updates from Microsoft from its launch in 2005 until November 2007 that enable it to play select games from its predecessor, Xbox. The Xbox 360 launched with backward compatibility with the number of supported Xbox games varying depending on region. Microsoft continued to update the list of Xbox games that were compatible with Xbox 360 until November 2007 when the list was finalized. Microsoft later launched the Xbox Originals program on December 7, 2007 where select backward compatible Xbox games could be purchased digitally on Xbox 360 consoles with the program ending less than two years later in June 2009. The following is a list of all backward compatible games on Xbox 360 under this functionality.

At its launch in November 2005, the Xbox 360 did not possess hardware-based backward compatibility with Xbox games due to the different types of hardware and architecture used in the Xbox and Xbox 360. Instead backward compatibility was achieved using software emulation.[1] When the Xbox 360 launched in North America 212 Xbox games were supported while in Europe 156 games were supported.[2][3] The Japanese market had the fewest titles supported at launch with only 12 games.[4] Microsoft's final update to the list of backward compatible titles was in November 2007 bringing the final total to 462 Xbox games.[5][6]


In order to use the backwards compatibility feature on Xbox 360 a hard drive is required.[2] Updates to the list were provided from Microsoft as part of regular software updates via the Internet, ordering a disc by mail from the official website or downloading the update from the official website then burning it to either a CD or DVD. Subscribers to Official Xbox Magazine would also have updates to the backwards compatibility list on the demo discs included with the magazine.[7]


Supported original Xbox games will run each with an emulation profile that has been recompiled for each game with the emulation profiles stored on the console's hard drive.[6][8] Original Xbox games must use the original game disc and can not be installed to the hard drive unlike Xbox 360 games.[5] Game saves and downloadable content cannot be transferred from an original Xbox to an Xbox 360.[2] Xbox Live functionality for original Xbox games was available until April 15, 2010 until support for original Xbox games were discontinued.[9] System link functionality between original Xbox and Xbox 360 remains available.[5]


Microsoft launched the Xbox Originals program in December 2007 where Xbox 360 owners could purchase select original Xbox titles digitally if they did not own a game disc and such could be found inside their own section in the Xbox Live Marketplace.[10][11] Beginning in June 2009 the branding was phased out and the games were moved to the "Games on Demand" section of the store with Microsoft stating that they have "finished its portfolio" of Xbox Originals.[12]


During Microsoft's E3 2017 press conference on June 11, 2017, backward compatibility for original Xbox games on Xbox One family of consoles was announced.[13] Part of the backward compatibility program for Xbox One will see original Xbox games be made available digitally in addition to owners of the original Xbox game disc. Prior to the first batch of original Xbox backward compatible titles for Xbox One were revealed six titles that were never released digitally as part of Xbox Originals program for Xbox 360 appeared in its "Games on Demand" store. Microsoft also confirmed that digital licenses would also carry over to Xbox One.[14]


Game saves for original Xbox games that are backward compatible on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One cannot be transferred between the three generations. While Xbox Live functionality will not be available, Albert Penello, head of marketing for Xbox, explained users could "system link an original Xbox, an Xbox 360, an Xbox One and an Xbox One X for a four-player system-link LAN play with all original discs across three generations of consoles."[14]


Hmmm I cant think of many others. Halo is good the first time you play through it but I never really felt like going back to it. Morrowind is awesome but Im pretty burnt out on it at this point. So many Xbox games were basically just advertisements for soft drinks, energy drinks, candy, etc and this generation was heavy on glorifying the stupid "street culture", like all the gangster rap based games, the "Street" version of all the sports games, illegal street racing. theres just very little I wanna play on this system.


The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay had a Director's Cut version on the PC that included additional stuff not on the OG Xbox version. The Director's Cut was given a remastered treatment when it was bundled with the sequel Assault on Dark Athena that is only available on the X360 and PS3.


OG Xbox has quite a solid library all things considered, and a bunch of games that are either exclusive or hard to get elsewhere. Panzer Dragoon Orta is probably my favorite game on the system next to OutRun 2006.


A couple dozen original titles are also compatible on the Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Panzer Dragoon Orta in 4K on the high-end models are really sights to behold. Elder Scrolls III and Hunter: The Reckoning with a perfect framerate on the backwards-compatible version is also pretty cool.


I think the Splinter Cell games are generally regarded as best played on the original Xbox. They had some light/shadow effects that don't play nicely with the ports, especially on modern PCs. I've also heard that some prefer the Xbox version of Riddick to the PC version.

Also there's a bunch of original xbox games you can play online now with Insignia. servers are empty most of the time but there's frequent game nights.

Nothing quite beats a good round of mechassault or midtown madness.


Enjoying the nostalgia of the Original Halo, played some Soul Calibur II with Spawn, Need for Speed Most Wanted, and I feel like there's never been enough love for Blood Wake and Mech Assault. Just fun silly destruction.


I am curious also. Never picked it up back in the day, but was interested. But watching video now, it looks like a less well put together Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Collision detection seems extra questionable, which could be a big downside. IDK.


It's ok. You can have 4 players rather than 2 and it plays like an advanced "Gauntlet Legends". You get feats (like in D&D 3.x TTRPG at the time) and abilities you can select on the fly (which switches the game to "slow-mo" so you don't get pounded easily while you flick through the options).


The ex and I played through it after playing both "Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance" games. It was all right but didn't have the same thrill for us as Snowblind's games. A few months ago I had my D&D loving kids try it and while they had fun, they haven't asked to play it again.


When referring to a specific "edition" of Disney Infinity, what is really being talked about is the unique core software released with that edition that features a version of the Toy Box, as well as the ability to play with specific toys released for that edition. As each edition new edition is released, some things are forward and/or backwards compatible, and some aren't. With such a wide variety of Play Sets, Figures, Power Discs, Toy Box Game Discs and more, it can be hard to figure out what will work with which edition - but have no fear, IGN's compatibility guide is here!


The edition-specific software can be acquired in various ways - in Starter Packs, as physical stand-alone discs, or as digital downloads. A reduced price digital "upgrade" from 1.0 to 2.0 is also available.


So if you have a Jack Sparrow figure which came with the original Disney Infinity (1.0) Starter Pack, he can be used with the 2.0 and 3.0 edition Toy Boxes. But if you have an Anakin Skywalker figure which comes with the 3.0 Starter Pack, it cannot be used with the 1.0 or 2.0 edition software.


Play Sets are campaign/story mode style games and only Figures that belong to that Play Set, or in the case of Marvel and Star Wars Play Sets, that general world, may be used in them. So Han Solo (Disney Infinity 3.0) can't help defeat Syndrome in The Incredibles Play Set (Disney Infinity 1.0). The Toy Box is the only place where Figures from different worlds can meet and play together.


Figures are not console specific. Even Figures that are only available in a "console exclusive" set for a specific period of time may be used with other consoles. So someone who gets Boba Fett at launch as part of the PS4 Exclusive Star Wars Saga Bundle, could take that figure over to a friend's house and play with it on an XBox or Wii U.


Want to play the Star Wars Rise Against the Empire Play Set or the Inside Out Play Set? You'll have to purchase the Disney Infinity 3.0 software - either in a Starter Pack or as a download (stand alone Disney Infinity 3.0 discs are not currently available in the U.S., but may be available in other countries).


Buy a PlayStation 3 Starter Pack? That base will work on PS3, PS4, Wii, or Wii U. Buy an Xbox 360 Starter Pack? That base will only work on Xbox 360 - it will not work on Xbox One or any other console.


Creating a Toy Box in Disney Infinity 3.0 and want to use the Frozen Flourish Power Disc from the Original Disney Infinity to turn it into an icy wonderland? Go for it! Playing Marvels Spider-Man Play Set, which requires the Disney Infinity 2.0 software, and want to use the Disney Infinity 3.0 Galactic Team-Up: Mace Windu Power Disc to bring Mace Windu into the game? Sorry, that Power Disc will only work with Disney Infinity 3.0 software.


This is where to find out which edition is required to play the Pirates of the Caribbean Play Set or whether that rare Power Disc your kid wants to buy for $100 on e-bay will work with your edition of Disney Infinity!


At the Xbox 20th Anniversary event we were told that the Xbox backward compatibility program would be halting once again with a final batch of games as the team had reached the legal limit of what they could do with the service among others.
