How well games perform on backward compatibility?
The experience to play Xbox 360 games on Xbox One varies from game to game in terms of the performance and how well do it runs, all titles receive some baseline improvements – such as the elimination of screen tear “completely on every title” – through to any disc access operations tending to “have less of an impact on performance”, meaning Mass Effect’s elevator load times and Fallout 3’s hitches are reduced.
However, while less demanding games such as Braid and N+ perform flawlessly, the more CPU-heavy titles do struggle, with Halo: Reach and Gears of War: Judgement singled out as games that suffer in the emulation process.
In terms of features, Xbox One backward compatibility list supports:
- Digital and disc-based games at no additional cost
- Support for existing saves (through the Cloud), DLC, Achievement progress, and the original dashboard
- Multiplayer between those playing on Xbox 360 and Xbox One
- Select Xbox One system features, including Game DVR, Windows 10 streaming and screenshots
