One of the great features of the Microsoft Xbox One games console is that it can play games sold for the Xbox 360. This backwards compatibility gives the Xbox One an advantage over it’s only rival, the Sony PS4. Not only that but the games benefit from new Xbox One features such as Game DVR, Screenshots and Windows 10 streaming.
The ability to play Xbox 360 games gives you a bigger selection of games of play. They might be games you already own or games you might pick up second-hand. Here is the full list :
